REI Sahara Shade Hoodie
The REI Co-op Sahara Shade Hoodie is one of those pieces you’ll end up reaching for again and again, whether you’re hiking, paddling, or just out in the sun. I’ve owned the women’s version for years and love how it pulls double duty: great sun protection (hello, fewer sunscreen stops!) and a lightweight layer when temps drop.
This hoodie is well-made, durable, and comes in fresh new colors every year, so you can build a collection that fits your style.
