The WS-MH02, known as the “Sun Hoodie” in the office, is a great addition to any kit. The idea for this garment came from constant sun exposure at the beach or in the desert. I wanted something I could put on and stay protected from the sun without overheating. By using Nuyarn’s merino wool / tencel blend, which comes in at 105gsm, we were able to accomplish that. The Sun Grip buttons are a nice feature because when it’s hot out you can leave them undone for extra ventilation. Personally I like to leave them undone after repping out a few pushups and I’m feeling a little chesty.

The MH02 is also an excellent base layer for when the temperature starts to drop. Because of this, the garment was designed to hug the body a bit more. Even with it being a slightly slimmer fit than normal, the elasticity of the merino wool allows for freedom of movement and keeps you from feeling restricted. I also added a bit more length so if it makes its way into the drier you don’t end up with an expensive merino wool crop top. In fact, I’m wearing the MH02 right now. It’s 5:28pm on a Wednesday and currently 60 degrees out. I should probably do some pushups.
