    While 15 certainly looks like a much smaller number than 50, SPF 15 blocks over 93% of UV. The Echo is for wearing in hot conditions. You get something incredibly light with good airflow and still blocks almost all UV.

    I own the patagonia and echo from OR. The patagonia is more durable against the straps of a pack and the odor protection on a multiday hike is really nice. The OR echo is one of my favorite shirts if hiking without a pack. It is just incredibly light and I haven't really found anything that can match it in terms of weight, breathability, and drying ability. The issue I've had with the echo is the durability of the fabric. If you wear a pack for an extended amount of time it causes pilling and makes the shirt look bad after. The low weight of the fabric should be a plus due to the fact you could pack multiple shirts to your bag and add hardly any weight. That's all canceled out by the fact that the shoulders can't sustain a pack for more than a couple hours without pilling and wear. OR has a great warranty though and they sent me a new shirt no questions asked when I called them on the phone about the pilling issue I experienced. Perhaps the newer versions of the echo have fixed this issue, but they really need a thicker denier or more durable fabric around the shoulder and back of this shirt if used for hiking. Otherwise it's really just an athletic/day shirt.

    i have really been enjoying Simm's Bugstopper hoodies which are rated UPF30+. They size large so a normal medium on me makes it pretty baggy. But that is great for where clothing item below it for cooler days.

    Great video! Just a note on Patagonia capilene for sun protection- they actually did a recall on products made before Fall 2020. The UPF protection was not as high as they advertised it to be. They are allowing customers to return it for a full refund or store credit.

  • @radikl_ed
    @radikl_ed Місяць тому

    Remember that the effective difference between 15 upf and 50 upf is less than 5%.
    15upf implies 1 out of 15 rays passing through (6.6%) vs 1/50 (2%). So at a significant cost of breathability, upf 50 garments only provide 4.6% more protection. Basically negligible.

    The Sunshade Technical Hoody is Patagonia’s best comparable to these. 80 bucks but has all the features you need & it will outlast the cheaper ones w a lifetime guarantee. The button neck is something you’ll love

      Picked one up, I still support the Baleaf as a budget hoodie...But so far I am really liking the Sunshade Technical. I just wish they had more colors and were more in stock (supply chain problems). Wish they had a rust color.

  • @Clifford_C

    Very informative. Just as another person mentioned below, I too, have experienced the same issue with the Baleaf hood not staying put in the wind. The hood is too big and loose. The feel of the material is outstanding tho. I wore this on the PCT desert portion and I liked it. Besides the hood, I felt the shirt didn’t dry as fast as my 100% poly sun shirts, many nights it was still damp when I went to bed at camp.

      Its spandex that holds moisture. They really should just make them 100% polyester. Looks like the backcountry Tahoe 2 you mentioned has 2% more spandex then the Beleaf.

    • @Clifford_C
      @Clifford_C 3 роки тому +1

      @@michael133 It’s trade-offs. If I still want a shirt with 50 UPF rating but breathable, than I would need to look for a poly/spandex blend. 100% poly shirts with 50 UPF don’t really breath well. Now, if I do want a 100% poly that will let airflow, and dried quicker than a spandex blend, than I would have to settle for one with lower UPF rating like the OR Echo with UPF 15.

    I have the Baleaf, Patagonia Capalene Cool and REI Saharah shade hoodie. The Baleaf has the most colors and is the most budget friendly (I did see a UA hoodie at Costco for around $15 recently but haven't tried it) but the sleeves are to short in my size to make use of the thumb holes and the hood flies off even when I walk fast. The Patagonia has great material, the hood stays on OK and is the coolest on a very hot day. The REI is the best designed of the three besides the cuffs are a little bulky and don't allow as much air up the sleeves as the other two. It has good thumb holes and sleeve length, very comfy fabric and a "hidden" cinch in the hood to keep it from flying off. It is a little warmer than the Patagonia but I'm guessing it is also has more sun protection so that is a trade off. The REI hoodie design with the Patagonia fabric would be pretty great. I could probably live with the lack of thumb holes on the Patagonia if it had a way to cinch down the hood in the wind.

    Great review. Appreciate your straightforward and honest style. Shorter is better on UA-cam! Your mention of the Northface hoodie intrigued me, especially if it is as light as the Capilene Cool. I would like to see one. I have the Capilene Cool. It is really remarkably light. I have only used it on one hike so we'll see how it holds up. I am 6-1 and about 170 wearing a Medium and mine does not fit loosely as yours seems to. Here's a suggestion others might find useful - I thought putting the hood up would make it hotter, but in fact putting it up gets the material off your neck. Plus if you then put a hat on top (not underneath) the hood stays in place and lots of air is moving around my neck and down the back of the shirt. Worth a try. Hey, I'm in Los Angeles and I recognize some of your locations. In recent weeks I've done Baldy and Baden Powell among others and hoping to do other peaks in the San Gabes soon. Maybe see you out there. 🤓

    • @jazzfan7491
      @jazzfan7491 2 роки тому

      Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I agree it's a drawback of the Patagonia Capilene Cool that it doesn't cover the hands, especially with the intense sun here in SoCal. I bought some Outdoor Research sun gloves to use with the shirt, but haven't tried them for real yet. Agree that gloves are just one more thing to buy and worry about, but I figure I can use them when driving also...

      So the north face is a great hoody but has one big draw back. I’ll cover it in a video but spoiler…the material feels really heavy and I think it will become my late fall, winter and early spring hoody. Patagonia makes a few other goodies and the sunshade technical is quickly becoming my favorite
