First off, thanks to Tommy Dolkas for promptly responding & answering my questions. I'm 6'/195lbs. Sleeve 36.5. Bought the EQ in XL. Used for fishing on lakes in an open boat or streams and rivers on foot. Easily my favorite sun hoodie. I have 2 other high-end brands. One brand is a close second because it's made from Brrrr fabric which really does enhance cooling...not a huge amount but it is slightly cooler. Plus it's SPF 50. (I've been out all day on lakes in blazing sun & have never been burned wearing my EQ. SPF 30 seems to be sufficient). Sadly, other shortfalls knock it down. The other, also 50, can't compare due to not cool or cooling even though they claim 'for tropics'. Both competitors were substantially more expensive. Now for the Anetik EQ: The fit including sleeve length using the thumb holes is perfect. 5+. Body length. Perfect. 5+. Body size just a little big but still a 5. The hood was a pleasant surprise. I almost didn't buy it because of the strings. What's with those? Found out hood stays on when doing 40 down the lake. Pulling the cords gathers the hood material and keeps it in place for quite a while. No fasteners. So simple! 5++. Two pockets are a nice add but not sure if I'd use the front one. Just me. Still nice. 5. So what would make the EQ a 5+ overall? Brrrr fabric and DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE. Maybe an EQ+? When I shop for another sun Hoodie, it'll be Anetik. Easy choice. Just ordered a mask. Could not be happier!
