Coolibar UPF 50+ Women's Cabana Hoodie - Sun Protective

This cabana hoodie is perfect for summer. The fabric is lightweight without feeling cheap, and has a surprising and pleasant cooling effect. It provides great coverage, and it's longer length is stylish for wearing outside of a pool setting. It fit as expected and still does after washing and drying according to manufacturer's instructions. I have several items from Coolibar, incuding long length sun protection gloves. This brand has been excellent and I will continue to buy from them.

These are lovely hoodies. However I had to fight with the zipper to get it working. I thought I was going to have to return it, but with some struggle the zipper now works as it should. Pull the zipper down as far as it will go and it will release and refasten. At first it was not going all the way down. Hope this helps someone.

Love quality of Coolibar for sun protection clothing

Comfy and stylish , true to size. No complaints.

This long hoodie was exactly what I was looking for - a versatile piece for travel. It's great for an extra, light layer on a plane or in a car, but also works as a bathrobe or a beach cover-up. The lightweight fabric is comfortable. I'd describe it as a standard t-shirt fabric. However, I was really disappointed to find that there was a hole after one washing. It's possible it was there before washing, because it is in an unobtrusive spot on the upper back, under the hood when the hood is down. It's not a seam tear, but rather just a hole in the middle of the fabric. For the price of this hoodie, I would have expected higher-quality fabric. I have a short hoodie of similar fabric from WalMart, which has lasted me for years without any ripping or holes. So, although I like the style and fit of this jacket, I'm disappointed with the lack of quality fabric.For reference, I'm 5'7'', 140 lbs., and the size M can easily be zipped up and I can wear a long-sleeved T underneath, though it also looks fine with just a tank top under it.

The Good:I bought this for a recent trip to Florida and once I got the right size, I LOVED it. It is very lightweight, breathable and provided great sun protection. My final purchase was a medium, black. I've washed it once and it seems to be very durable with no fading.The Bad:I originally ordered a large because I am 5'10 and a size 12. This thing was HUGE - as in, I could fit two of me in it. I ordered the item well in advance of my trip and received the too large, large about a week before. I contacted Coolibar directly to see if I could get an exchange for a medium in time for the trip. The sales rep told me I would both have to pay for the return shipping and pay to have a medium sent two day air. This seemed ridiculous to me given that I followed their measurements in ordering a size and the item was shipped for free. The rep offered to leave a message with their customer service as I called after their customer service was closed. I agreed.I was contacted by customer service the next day and they agreed to get the new item to me in time for the trip at no extra charge. And they did. Although, I had to buy the new medium and then send back the large as a return, not exchange, waiting for a refund on the original purchase and footing the bill for the return shipping.Bye the way, the medium is still VERY roomy on me. I asked the customer service rep if Coolibar sizes ran large and she would only concede that they were "generous."I realize more and more companies are not paying for the return shipping and this is a risk with online shopping. However, when the return is clearly the fault of the company, I really don't think I should have to pay for it.The Bottom Line:I'm giving three stars because -- I liked the product- Would try them in the future, especially on sale items where an exact fit is not an issue- Products are pricey and return shipping is on you if items don't work out- Customer service is a mixed bag: initial rep not that helpful, follow up customer service call was prompt and there was an attempt to resolve the situation, and the new item was rushed to me in time for my trip

Good quality, nice long sleeves, comfy!

Thought it would be wicking also.

The 2 way zip feature is really useful and the material of this cover up is very soft & comfortable. Highly recommend esp for beach or poolside use. 👍🏻

Je suis très contente de cet achat!La coupe est sympa et le tissu n’est pas trop épais.

Das Material finde ich sehr angenehm zu tragen. War mir jetzt leider etwas zu groß, aber aus der Notwendigkeit heraus behalte ich es trotzdem.

I bought this for a holiday to Mexico, as I am not only fair skinned but also have a medical condition which means I need to be careful in the sun. This is the perfect cover-up to slip on over a swimsuit, it's long enough to be worn as a dress as necessary, and the generous hood means coverage for your head and neck. Not only is it practical, it's soft and comfortable too. These are usually pretty expensive, but I was lucky enough to pick this up on offer, so I feel I got a real bargain!

This is wonderful. I have to avoid sun exposure and this is so light and cool it's a great addition to my wardrobe. My only complaint is that if you get one, be careful with the drawstring. It's not secure enough on the end and mine snagged on something and pulled halfway out. Just make sure you knot the end of each side.
