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!

Love this hoodie!
I bought this for golf during the summer in Florida. The material is lightweight, breathes well you can feel it come through and material. The fit is excellent more towards the fitted. The hood is the same material with a nicely shaped and sized hood. I can wear a baseball cap or visor and the hoods covers well without being huge and annoying....

Works like a charm hiking in the sun
For too long I would hike in minimal clothing and sunscreen, but belatedly realized the importance of evaporative cooling. This is the second brand of sun hoody I've tried, and the Kuhl version makes you think "why didn't anyone think of this before?" "This" being a hoody with different fabric to maximize cooling and protection. My hiking comp...

The hoodie I did not know I needed.
Lightweight and awesome. I had to buy a second to vary my wardrobe. Very comfortable, provides layer for warmth but also good for sun protection on hotter days.

Cool hoodie
6’5’” 200 comfortable cooling hoodie. Just long enough. Slightly snug fit compared to other kuhl tops. Looks great.
