I have always been a user of short sleeves and tank tops for my trail running adventures, but this hoody has totally changed my thinking. I originally bought a Remix hoody for working on an organic farm at 7000' in northern NM and was very impressed with the level of protection from the sun it gives and how cool and breathable the fabric is at temps above 80F. One day after work, I decided to test it on a 6 mile trail run to see how it would perform with my heart rate above 130 for over 30 minutes, and was surprised that it felt cooler than my usual lightweight short sleeve. The past few month I have used the Remix for all my runs and it keeps me protected and cool no matter how warm and sunny. Also, the Remix hoody makes a really nice combination with a wind jacket for alpine conditions in the summer for a fast/light/breathable combination for my longer runs above tree line. It also pairs well with rain gear when conditions get nasty. A really great piece of kit! I now own a couple of the hoodies and a pair of the tights and use them for all my trail running adventures and work.
