Love the sun, but hate what it can do to our skin, especially areas that are continually exposed, such as ears, face, etc?\u00a0 Here\u2019s a nifty new Zhik product that helps keep us out where we love to be. While the Zhik Motion top<\/a> does a great job of wicking moisture away from your body and cutting wind chill, the real draw is how it combats the sun\u2019s rays, especially around the head and face, which is accomplished by a hood and balaclava. The hood is form fitting, meaning it stays put.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was a bit skeptical about the balaclava function, it hangs just off your face so as not to obstruct breathing but keeps the lower portion of your face well out of the sun.\u00a0 A big bonus.\u00a0 When not in use, it comfortably rests below your chin.\u00a0 Similarly, when you pull the hood off, you\u2019ll hardly know it’s bunched up around your neck.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering UFP 50-plus protection, the Zhik Motion top is breathable, fast drying and also functions as a great base layer.\u00a0 If you\u2019re thinking it\u2019s your typical regatta shirt but with a hood, you’ll be surprised by this.\u00a0 It\u2019s much heavier and has a soft \u201cpeached finish,\u201d which means that toward the end of the manufacturing process it\u2019s received a light sanding. You can really feel the difference between this and a typical sun-blocking top.\u00a0It\u2019s not waterproof, which isn\u2019t the intent, but it does shed small amounts of spray. And its four-way stretch helps ensure you\u2019ll not only be protected from the sun but comfortable while out there.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available in men\u2019s sizes from S to XXL, and women\u2019s sizes from XS to XL. Black or Platinum at $99.99\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
