Columbia Women's Summit Valley™ UPF Hoodie

This shirt worked great to protect my skin from the sun. The shirt was a perfect length, I really like the thumbholes. I wasn't keen on the hood when I bought it, in the end the hood proved useful in protecting the back of my neck from the sun.

Bought this before a week rafting trip and I love, love, love this top. It is a great weight for hot days on the river or when you just need a little extra layer. Okay, I know that a lot of the negative reviews address the fact that it easily snags. I guess it may. I have a couple snags on mine. But, maybe I’m just über chill about that kind of stuff. I am rough on outdoor gear, so snags, stains, tears, etc. happen and to me on this top the snags do not make the top unsightly. Back to what is awesome, the hood and neck design is fantastic coverage but not at all confining. I like how the top is not like a v at the neck, but more of a funnel neck into the hood. I’ve gotten many compliments on the top (green pattern), even with snags. Overall, I really have been pleased with this top. It has been great for camping, hiking, and of course rafting.

I bought this for active use in very hot, humid climate. I used it this morning on a long hike and was very impressed. It was incredibly breathable and actually kept me from getting too hot. I will be buying more for daily outside active wear for sun and heat protection. I recommend buying 2x larger than your usual size so it is very loose and breathable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually wear a medium but this was too small for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the feel and the color. I ordered a 2nd one and now that I'm wearing them it snags so easily. I'm disappointed that it looks terrible with all the snags.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Usually love my Columbia purchases but sadly bought 2 of these hoodies and both of them have snags to no end. They seem to appear out of nowhere. I still wear them because I like the weight of the fabric but have to self hypnotize myself to ignore all the snags

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really liked this top until it snagged several times on only my second wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As mentioned by others while I liked the design of the piece and the way it felt, the fabric snags easily. Not only does it snag, the layers of the fabric seem to separate. Very disappointing.
