Women's Summer Freeze™ Hoodie 4.9 5 15 15
Great for hot weather! I bought this hoodie to for fishing in a tournament in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I couldn't believe how cool I stayed all day in the heat of Mexico. This hoodie is cute, comfy, and cool. Definitely lived up to my expectations! February 12, 2013
Women's Summer Freeze™ Hoodie I bought this shirt for my daughter to walk with me and in Midsummer the temperature 40 degrees centigrade. The performance was excellent. Columbia for congratulations, continue always innovating December 26, 2012
Great idea, great product It's a great idea for this product. I always wanted something that I can wear for going in and out of an air conditioning room, without the hassle of putting on and taking off a jacket constantly. This product made it easy for me! It's good that I can wear this without feeling overheated after leaving an air conditioning room, and it offers good coverage so I don't get too cold when I am in an air conditioning room. The hood is great too as sometimes I will be sitting right underneath the AC air outlet on a bus so the hood made me feel more comfortable in that situation. I can keep this on when it's windy and not too sunny outdoors. However, I do need to take it off if I stay out under the strong sun for too long.I got the geyser color and it looks fabulous. It's the first time I have a top in this color and I am glad I chose this color. The material is good, soft and comfortable. I don't get overheated by it because it doesn't trap moisture due to the Omni-Wick feature, which is very helpful for me as it's humid in Honolulu. It definitely beats the traditional cotton hooded sweater. I usually wear XS for Columbia's clothing, and I got this for XS, which is true to size for me October 4, 2012
Great sun protection I was a river guide in Moab, UT all summer; this hoodie was excellent for uv protection. It got hot in 100+ weather, but get it wet in the river and it cools you off real fast. Plus, the hood makes you feel like a Jedi. I am 5'11" with really long arms and the sleeves were adequate when not extended, and the torso was long enough. The fabric is a little fragile.

Just what I was looking for I live in florida and have been searching for a really good beach cover up. This lightweight, UV protected hoodie is perfect. September 2, 2012
Great light weight hoodie I've found this the perfect layer for the cooler summer evenings. Being light weight, it gives that extra little warmth. I can leave my heavier jackets or hoodies behind. It even fits in my SLR camera bag making it even more ideal when I'm on a hike. August 15, 2012
Love the Women's Summer Freeze I love this shirt! I have it in chartruese, purple and white. Okay. The morning starts out on the coolish side. It's perfect. Afternoon it turns warm. Perfect. A big plus is that it attractively hides my midsection ripples. August 8, 2012
Amazingly comfortable! You can't believe a hoodie with long sleeves like this can actually keep you cool and comfortable, but it does. I've worn it on long walks in summer weather and I am more comfortable than my walking partner is wearing short sleeves and slathered with sunblock. In this hoodie, I don't need to put sunscreen on, so right away I am more comfortable!I highly recommend this to anyone who needs sun protection, wants to look stylish/sporty, but wants to stay cool in hot weather.

Boating Shirt We recently got our first ski boat and I was hoping this shirt would provide the protection I wanted from the sun while keeping me cool enough to be comfortable sitting in the boat while my boys swim and do other things. I am very pleased with it's performance! We have had an unseasonably warm summer and last week I sat out in 100 degree, cloudless weather protected by the sun and as comfortable (or more comfortable) in the heat as I would have been with any tank or short sleeve shirt! This hoodie passes with flying colors! Thanks Columbia! July 24, 2012
Good sun protection I got the bright yellow hoodie and wore it fishing in a boat and also on a long hot road trip in a convertible. The shirt kept me from sunburn, and probably from heat stroke as well! I was hot and doubting that the cooling features were working until I took the shirt off and began to feel even hotter.I like the styling and the fit and the soft fabric also. I am 5 feet 2 inches and weigh 100 pounds. The extra small is just right, not too tight, not too loose. July 1, 2012
Amazing Sun Shirt I am extremely sun sensitive, to the point that I cannot be in the sun at all. I wore this hoodie to the zoo on an 80+ degree day. I was amazed that not only was I protected from the sun, it really did keep me cooler. I was actually more comfortable than my friends in tank tops. I ordered a second one in another color. Thank you Columbia for making a sun protective product that also helps keep you cool. Fantastic product! May 29, 2012
Relaxed fit, breathable top I bought this shirt so I could throw it on outside with out having to slather my arms in sunscreen. It's a lightweight material, very breathable. It's a relaxed fit without being baggy. I'm 5'9 and 138 lbs and bought the Small. Arm length is good and I can wear a fitted tank or tee shirt underneath easily. May 7, 2012
Perfect Hoodie! As someone who cannot afford to get a sunburn, I'm always looking for the newest styles in the Omni-shade. This was such a great idea to have a hoodie! It's super light and breaths very easy. It's great for hot weather. Because of the lightness of it, the kangaroo pouch doesn't seem very sturdy. I really wish it had thumb holes. April 28, 2012
Comfy! I love this shirt. In fact, I'm wearing it now. It's light on the skin and just enough for a warm spring morning. The hood does tend to end up on my shoulder in the wind or bending over, but not too bad. I was very happy with this one. April 17, 2012
Really works! I ordered a bunch of Columbia clothing at once, and I have to say that this one stood out from the crowd. I was skeptical of the omni-freeze technology, but sure enough I was out gardening in the direct sun in 70+ degree weather, and while everyone around me was taking off layers, I found I actually had to go and put another layer ON! As far as I can tell, as soon as you sweat hits the fabric it activates a cooling effect - kind of like stepping in the cool shade when you're all sweaty and immediately feeling a drop in temperature. It's one of my new favorite things to wear. I'm 5'8 and 125 lbs and ordered an extra small, and it's not snug fitting by any means. I could easily still throw a tank top and a tshirt on underneath and have room for this guy on top. Any larger of a size and I would have been swimming in it. Great overall purchase. April 15, 2012
