Customers consistently praise the KÜHL Engineered™ Hoody for its excellent fit—trim, athletic, and well-proportioned without being tight or bulky—making it ideal for both layering and solo wear. The lightweight, breathable fabric offers superior moisture-wicking and sun protection, performing exceptionally well in hot, sunny environments and varied outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and work under intense sun. Users appreciate its durability after extended use, quick drying qualities, and versatile style suitable for casual or professional settings. Features such as hidden thumbholes, well-sized hoods, and stretch panels enhance comfort and functionality, establishing this hoody as a dependable, go-to piece for active lifestyles.
This hoody is my new Summer favorite as it checks all of my personal boxes. As a short, fit older guy it can be challenging to find shirts/hoodies that are well proportioned in all areas (chest, shoulders, arms, waist). I tend to buy SMALL but sometimes the chest/shoulders are too tight while the length is fine. If I go to MEDIUM it's often too long in sleeves and waist but perfect for upper body! Enter Kuhl. They seem to get the fit just right for guys my size and shape and the Engineered Hoody is a prime example. It's perfectly proportioned for an all-around great fit. Not too long, not too tight but still maintaining a snug look and feel and really shows off your body contours. The material and style, a sort of flexible "grid/waffle" design, looks fabulous while allowing great freedom of movement. This can worn on a casual night in town just as well as on the beach or hiking trail. On a recent 3-hour boat tour in Portugal the shirt kept me cool (breathable) and protected from the sun and as a side note the hood fit over my baseball cap and kept it on my head during the speedier, windier routes. To summarize: Great Fit and style? Check. Light and flexible? Check. Protects from sun but breathable? Check. Anyway, I bought two and will probably get one more. I wear them often!

Like wearing a cloud
The KÜHL Engineered Hoody might be the closest thing to wearing absolutely nothing while still looking incredibly put together. This thing is LIGHT. Like… “did I forget to put a shirt on?” light. Soft, breathable, stylish, and somehow perfect whether you’re hiking a trail, grabbing coffee, or pretending you’re an outdoorsman at the grocery sto...

🥵RUNS A SIZE SMALL🥵
Careful! This product RUNS A SIZE SMALL unless you prefer a sausage casing-like fit. I am 6’3” 188 lbs, usually buy large polos, and thus ordered a large for this too. But the large fit like long underwear, not a loose fitting sun shirt. An XL did the trick for me.

I wore this everyday on a hiking trip in Portugal
Perfect for travel, light weight, sun protective, looks nice and drys quickly. I wore it on the plane and every day hiking. The sun protection and light weight was perfect. I could wash it around late afternoon and it would be dry by morning. I'm ordering another one.

Looks Great/ Snug Fit
Runs snug, fits great if you are a lean runner/rock climber type, otherwise size up from your usual fit.

Best sun shirt this side of the Mississippi.
I LOVE this product! It fits close to skin, but roomy enough to not feel tight. I often get compliments when wearing it. I will be buying more of each color soon.
