Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Taema Hoodie

I got a Medium, I'm 36 bust, 40" hip fits well, not tight.

I've worn a couple versions of this sunshirt now over the past few years, but I absolutely LOVE the new Taema hoody. Also, the new Sprint color is so good. It's so lightweight, dries fast, and the high neck collar in the front is a great feature. The thumbholes are also great, although if I was to give any feedback it would be to include a watch slit at the wrist... you sort of have to choose between protecting your hands and seeing your watch stats. I'm an ultra runner, and I plan on living in this hoody all summer.

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.

This is my second one. Very comfortable, great sun protection, perfect design and material. It's good for the beach, mountain, kayaking, literally everywhere. Waiting for the indigo colour to come out.

I haven't seen the Taema hoody in person, but I ordered it online. The fabric quality is much better than I expected, it's very cool, and the color suits me perfectly. I'm 5'3"and 124 lbs, and the small size fits me very comfortably. I'll definitely recommend it to my friends.

The Taema Sun Hoody is a total game-changer for multi-pitch days. It protects me from the sun better than anything else I've worn, is lightweight and breathable, and moves perfectly while climbing. I seriously never head up a wall without it!!

I am a female and own one female M and one male S version of this sun protection longsleeve. I'd give both 5 stars (love the quick dry, lightness, fabric feel), but would recommend the male version. The thumbholes are more premium and the fit looks nicer (in my opinion). I size down one size on the male version.

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

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!

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.

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.

Took this hoody on several hikes including a 90F+ long day in Sunol and a 25F snowy day on Mt. Whitney. It kept me perfectly dry and made me feel more confident to go out without getting sunburnt or hypothermia from the cold. I sized up 2 sizes because I like it really loose but it should be fairly true to size normally. Highly recommend!

I bought this at the end of August because I was going to be hiking Rocky Mountain National Park, and wanted to keep my skin protected from the sun. It was perfect! I don't usually hike in long sleeves because I get hot, but it was lightweight and it didn't bother me at all! Would definitely purchase again in the other colors. For reference, I am 5'3, 140 lbs, and got a Small!

I had this for over a month and probably have 12-plus days in it and LOVE IT. It breaths so well keeps me cool and covered!

This sun hoodie has become my go-to choice for all my outdoor adventures whether it's backpacking, climbing, or cycling. I especially like the Sprint Heather color for cycling, not only because it enhances visibility and safety but also because it adds a vibrant touch to my pictures, making me stand out against the background :) One of the things I appreciate the most about this hoodie is its exceptional sun protection. With the added SPF, it has saved me from serious sunburn during trips with intense sun exposure. While my partners ended up with sunburns, I remained protected throughout. I'm also delighted with how quickly the hoodie dries. During a recent sunset jog up the 4-mile trail in Yosemite to reach Glacier Point, I was drenched in sweat upon arrival. As the temperatures drop pretty drastically in the valley, I was concerned about getting cold during the descent. However, within approximately 20 minutes of taking pictures and admiring the view at the viewpoint, the shirt was completely dry. Besides its performance, the Sprint Heather color does have one minor drawback it tends to attract dirt more easily than other colors. While regular machine washing doesn't always remove those stains entirely, a quick hand wash does the trick. I don't have that problem with the Serene Heather color. In conclusion, this sun hoodie has exceeded my expectations for high-output activities. Its excellent sun protection, quick-drying capability, and eye-catching colors make it an essential piece of gear. Just be mindful of the dirt factor if you opt for the brighter color. Nonetheless, I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a reliable and functional sun hoodie.

The Arc'teryx Outdoor Market - Taema Hoody is a game-changer for my outdoor adventures! The breathability is unmatched, keeping me cool and dry during intense activities. The fit is perfect, and the moisture-wicking feature is a game-changer. I use it even when is sunny out instead of SPF. Highly recommend for any outdoor enthusiast!
