Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Taema Hoodie

This is one of my favorite coverups for hiking. Great sun hoody, durable. I live on Guam and it's sweltering, this doesn't make me feel hot when I'm out hiking weighs nearly nothing, packs down, provides good sun coverage. The hood is great and will cover your ears if you have it on (even with a baseball hat)

So the past few summers have been quite hot, and on mountaineering trips you're out in the alpine basically all day with little to no shade opportunity and this hoodie has been a life (and skin) saver! After I bought my first one, and then realized on our trips how effectively it kept me cool and protected from the sun, I immediately bought another one. Those two were purchased last year and have been my go-to's since. Note that I did try on this years version and I'm not sure if it's my imagination but the material feels a bit stiffer and a tad tighter than last years. If there's a redesign I would push for it to return to slightly more loose. Regardless this is an absolute staple.

This is my go-to sun hoodie. I have 4 different colours and wear them nearly every day for both work and personal use. The hood is great for protecting your neck from the sun while on snow or in the summer, and can provide a little extra warmth when it is cold or windy. A feature that I have on another sun hoodie that would be a great addition to the Taema is the watch screen hole, allowing you to check your watch while still having the thumb holes on. Overall, great product!

Bought my Taema Hoody to wear as a sun shirt for our hike up Kilimanjaro a few months ago. The fit is true to size - for reference, I'm 5'4", 120-125 pounds, petite build, and the size S was a comfortable, close fit without being too tight. It served its purpose of helping me stay warm during the chilly early mornings in Tanzania (the hood and face cover are great), and then offering protection from the sun and allowing my skin to breathe once the temperature got warmer as the day progressed. Very happy with this purchase - highly recommend.

This is my absolute favourite trail running shirt. Perfect as a sun shield for exposed alpine runs (not too hot), yet somehow warm enough for all but the coldest days on the PNW. Dries quickly, does not get weighted down when wet, and the hood is great for extra protection when on glaciers or snow. Hands down my go to shirt all year long!

This extremely lightweight and stylish shirt/hoodie is perfect for skin protection against sun. I also love the slender sizing.

I own three Taema hoodies and still feel like I need more! This piece is incredibly versatileperfect as a sun shirt or light layer in the summer and my go-to base layer for ski touring. The hood is just the right size, staying securely in place, and the material is the perfect balance between breathability and warmth. If I had to choose a favourite layer, this would be it!

really great sun hoodie. intelligent design as expected from arcteryx. i used this for backpacking in the sierras and for many hikes, and it provided me with excellent sun protection all over. it's cute and fits well to the woman frame. the hood has no drawstring but fits well over the head regardless. i like that the sleeves have little thumb loops instead of a hole in the sleeve for the thumbs to pop out, this makes it easier for mobility of the hand i think? i got this in light pink just in case i get it dirty, but yeah it washes very easily. i wore it on a really hot day and it was ventilated well but still protected me from sunburn. i got this after trying another top brand and returned the other one and got this one. it may be expensive but your skin care is worth it!

I wore this all summer and it looks brand new. Love the sun coverage it offers and the durability even though I've fallen off a bike and gotten snagged by trees while wearing it!

Yes, this is an exellent product! I have three of them - but I need some more. Casual good under a wide, short sleeved dress, or a shirt. Hiking the most comfortable layer I've got. (I upsized to L, to feel more comfortable) But for me, it does not protect against heat; it protects against cold ;-)

I got the pink Taema Hoody before a trip to Colombia and Brazil, where I was going to be exposed to a lot of heat and sun. It worked perfectly, was fresh and breathable, and looked cute!

The fabric is very breathable, keeping my body cool under the hot sun. I also love the round neckline design, as it's quite comfortable when the hood is up.

This was a great purchase, originally bought for my first backpacking trip and found it to be awesome at keeping me cool in the sun, stink-free, and arms/neck/torso didn't get burnt! I found the arms to be a bit tight at first (think lulu swiftly tech long sleeve tight), definitely designed for someone with lithe arms, but they gave out a bit with wear. It may be worth trying the men's version of sizing up if you've got strong/bigger circumference arms. Otherwise great purchase and I would recommend!

I got the Taema hoodie in the color Atmos Heather in size medium. I have taken it on multiple backpacking trips and have worn it every day on each of those trips! I felt like I didn't need to use as much sunscreen because it provided good protection. However, the color did show dirt more quickly than I expected, so I might choose a different color next time. Aside from that, it was extremely comfortable, durable, lightweight, and quick drying.

Great style for sun coverage. Wish it was a bit more breathable for truly hot weather, is too hot over mid 70s.

As a trail and mountain runner, I spend a lot of time on foot out in the sun and the elements. I recently came back from a week-long trip running in the Sierra Nevada mountains and I wore my Taema Hoody almost every single day! I love how light and breathable the material is, yet extremely comfortable! I can run in the mountains all day in this without ever feeling too hot with high output adventures. I also love the sneaky thumb-holes at the sleeve and love this design so much more than the thumb-hole cut-out in most other sun shirts. Another thing I absolutely love about this product is how big the hood is. I often feel that with most jackets or hoodies I buy, the hood is too small or doesn't cover my head and stay on if I am wearing a hat or my hair up. Though I've only worn this trail running so far, I feel the Taema Hoody would also be an excellent choice for rock climbing as well!

My favorite sun hoody for hiking. Lightweight for where I live (hot and humid climate) and that Arc’teryx quality you expect

Awesome tropical weight toplove it. Perfect for Miami Formula 1!!!

This is my third Taema. Love it. Fits well, keeps me protected from the sun and helps keep me warm.

I have two of these sun hoodies and love them! They haven't gotten stretched out or faded in two seasons. I really like the hood and how it protects my neck and the sides of my face from the sun. I have a shorter torso and the length is perfect on me. I wear it in the heat of the summer, and the winter for touring on sunny days.

Sun hoodies are the only thing I wear outdoors in the summer. I like being outside, but I also like to hide from the sun. The Taema is the perfect lightweight layer. It dries quickly when wet (or sweaty). It also is UPF 40 rated, protecting from UV. The thumbhole situation is interesting. I'm not sure I like it. They tucked the loops into the sleeves. There's not a dedicated hole in the sleeve. My thumbs randomly find them when moving around. It's an interesting and cleverish design.

Really love this product. The fit is perfect but shoulders are a little bit tight. Would be a must having a hole in the hood for a pony tail.

I love the lightness of this fabric, and the neck/hood area is so perfectGreat coverage and comfortable. I got a size small and it fits my body perfectly, but because there is no stretch it can feel a little tight around my upper arms when I'm doing certain movements. If the arms/shoulders were a little loose this would be perfect. I bought it at the same time I bought the t shirt, also in size small, and that fits perfectly. A medium would be to big. I love the off white color and the brown color, I got both!

When reading other reviews, a theme seems to be that the hoodie is not very stretchy, but the revised hoodie seems stretchy enough! The fabric is so light, but feels durable. There is a striped pattern in the fabric that I couldn't see when online shopping. The hood is a nice size, and the arms are the perfect length. I am 5'2", and I got an XS. One critique is that the arms should be larger in diameter. The rest of the hoodie fits loosely, but the arms are tight and seem designed out of proportion to the rest of the hoodie.

This is a long-sleeve sun shirt that delivers on UV protection. For a long time I hated wearing anything long sleeve in the summer because it feels so icky with sweat, but the Taema is light and stays airy through activities. Note that it's a regular fit - which is good for room to move in hot weather - but there is very little stretch overall. A bit tight around the neck and cuffs especially once you get going/sweaty. As well, the Taema in white stained way more easily in comparison to other white Arc'teryx pieces and was harder to get the stains out. Not a dealbreaker by any means and I fully expected this getting a white colorway, just something to note.
