I got one of these a few years ago, and then another more recently. The first one was white, but lots of use + not washing it that much turned it into a shade of light gray. I snagged it on a tree limb so, rather than keeping to apply sunscreen I just got a new one. The sleeves are a little short for me (I have long arms) so rather than stretching the arms out I just wear sun gloves; that's not a big issue. The one issue is I'd appreciate some sort of lightweight drawstring for the hoodie. While in zero/light wind or with the wind behind you the hoodie stays on, a stronger wind coming at you sends the hoodie back (as you might imagine). Some wear a ball cap to deal with hoodies like that, but I mostly use an REI Sahara hat over the hoodie to provide even more sun protection and to keep the hoodie in place. That works well.
