Ultralight Tahoe Pro LT Sun Hoodie built for cooling comfort and full sun coverage
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wear this when I need maximum sun coverage without overheating. The fabric feels cool right away, dries fast, and stays comfortable even when it’s humid. The hood and thumbholes really help reduce how much sunscreen I need on long days."
We pull on the Tahoe Pro LT Sun Hoodie when the sun is relentless and shade is limited. Built by Backcountry for high-heat, high-exposure adventures, it delivers lightweight protection that keeps us cool, covered, and moving comfortably through long days outside. Whether we’re hiking, trail running, or exploring exposed terrain, it provides reliable coverage without feeling heavy.
The ultralight knit fabric wicks moisture efficiently and dries quickly to manage sweat in hot conditions. S.Café ICE-CAFÉ technology enhances cooling, odor control, and UV protection while staying soft against the skin. A full-coverage hood shields the head and neck, thumbholes extend protection to the hands, and a concealed hood snap helps keep everything in place when we’re on the move.

About The BGA Brand
In 1996, Backcountry's founders set out to make the backcountry more accessible. That same spirit drives BGA today. Built on decades of gear experience, BGA delivers the quality, design, and durability you need to get where you're going. Our goal is simple: build reliable, responsibly made gear for people who actually get out there. From weekend missions to dawn patrol sessions, every piece is designed to perform, last, and earn a permanent spot in your kit.

Built By Gearheads
We live and breathe the outdoors, so every stitch of BGA gear is made with a mission in mind. Designed in Park City at the foot of Utah’s Wasatch mountains—and tested by our Gearhead® Experts who use it every day—BGA styles are built to perform wherever the snow lands, trail leads or adventure calls.
A lightweight women's sun hoodie built from breathable, moisture-wicking performance fabric keeps skin protected on long daylight outings. The fixed hood and UPF+ rating add neck and face coverage while four-way stretch and an athletic cut deliver mobility for steep approaches or long pedal miles. Integrated thumbholes lock sleeves in place when layering beneath a shell or when moving fast, and the design encourages airflow so heat sheds without sacrificing coverage. As a technical outerwear performance layer, it fits easily under a shell for cooler days or stands alone when the sun is high.
On a July ridge hike the top breathes and wicks, thumbholes steady sleeve position on sun-exposed scrambles. Spring river fishing benefits from the UPF+ hood that shields the neck; pairs well with polarized sunglasses and a utility vest. Coastal paddle trips use the quick-dry, four-way stretch fabric to fit comfortably under a life jacket while allowing full reach. Camping evenings and light alpine approaches call for a lightweight layer that moves with climbing or trail steps, and it suits active women who value sun protection, comfort, and simple versatility for travel and everyday outdoor chores.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I pick in the Backcountry Tahoe Pro LT Sun Hoodie—Women’s if I plan to wear it under a pack or harness?
The Tahoe Pro LT is a slim-fit sun layer with a 25.5-inch center-back length; choose your usual women’s size for a close athletic fit and size up if you want room for a thicker base layer or to avoid the hem riding up under a harness or hipbelt. Use the women’s size chart (available XXS–XXL, chest ranges listed on the product page) and prioritize chest measurement and desired ease over weight alone.Is the Backcountry Tahoe Pro LT Sun Hoodie suitable for hiking and high-output activities?
Yes—this hoodie is designed for warm, sunny, high-output use like hiking, trail and road running, and fishing, offering UPF 50+ sun protection, moisture-wicking, quick-dry performance, four-way stretch, and integrated thumbholes for movement and coverage. It is not a rain shell or insulated layer, so add a waterproof shell for wet conditions or an insulating midlayer for cold.How does the Backcountry Tahoe Pro LT Sun Hoodie compare to other sun-performance tops?
The Tahoe Pro LT uses Singtex S.Café Ice-Café mélange jersey with cooling and odor-control properties (39% Ice-Café nylon, 29% polyester, 19% nylon, 14% spandex), giving a lightweight, stretchy, and close athletic cut with UPF 50+—it’s more streamlined and performance-focused than relaxed sun shirts but lacks insulation and waterproof construction found in jackets.Will the Tahoe Pro LT restrict movement when climbing or running, and any fit tips for those activities?
The four-way-stretch S.Café fabric and slim athletic fit support dynamic movement for climbing and running, and thumbholes help keep sleeves in place; however, the relatively short center-back length can ride up under a climbing harness, so select a size with a bit more hem coverage if you need overlap with a harness or bulky hipbelt.How should I care for the Backcountry Tahoe Pro LT Sun Hoodie to maintain stretch and sun protection?
Machine wash and tumble dry per the garment’s sewn-in care label, wash with similar synthetic items, avoid bleach and fabric softener, and avoid high-heat drying that can degrade stretch fibers and performance finishes; there’s no separate waterproof treatment to reapply, and store the hoodie clean and fully dry.
