KEY FEATURES OF THE ZPACKS THE MIRAGE MERINO SUN HOODY:

• Designed in conjunction with Evolved Supply Co.
• Made with a 96% Merino Wool Blend, the shirt is soft and smooth against the skin with no itchiness or transparency.
• The ultralight 3.98 oz/sqyd Mirage Merino Wool fabric is very breathable, but still thick enough to provide miles of durability on or off trail.
• Quarter length zipper allows you to regulate your body's temperature.
• Comfortable hood provides protection from the sun while still allowing for air flow.
• Integrated thumb holes prevent your sleeves from riding up and help provide sun protection for the top of your hands.
• The sleeves provide excellent range of motion while eliminating a top shoulder seam that could rub against your backpack straps.
• A gentle dove tail shape on the rear of the hoody helps provide coverage when riding a bike or reaching above your head.
• Sizes are US Men's, however the athletic fit and stretchy material work well for women's figures as well.
• The material is stretchy, allowing it to comfortably conform to your body's movements.
• Wool stays warm when wet and also helps with temperature regulation in warm weather making it an ideal baselayer.
• Moisture wicking and breathable material provides superior thermoregulation in a variety of temperature ranges.
• Merino is unique in that it absorbs odours and reduces unpleasant smells. 
• UPF 40+
• The wool fabric is pre-shrunk, however it will lose a small amount of length and girth if washed and dried with regular laundry. Hand wash or machine wash cold and line dry if you wish to preserve the initial sizing.
