No matter what time of year it is, you need to protect your skin from the sun — and the REI Men's Sahara Shade Hoodie is a great way to shield yourself from harmful ultraviolet rays. This long-sleeved sun shirt is on sale for just $21, a 65% discount off the original retail price of $60.

The sale price is for three colorways. At the time of publishing, they were available in several men's sizes:

• Black Heather — small, medium, medium tall, large, extra large, 2XL, and 3XL

• Deep Marine Heather — small, medium, medium tall, large, extra large, 2XL, 2XL tall, and 3XL

• Saragasso Sea — small, medium, medium tall, large, extra large, 2XL, 2XL tall, and 3XL

Not your preferred look? Several other colorways are also on sale:

• Blue Nights Heather — $25, available in 3XL only

• Oxide — $30, available in small, medium, large, 2XL, and 3XL

• Harvest Sage — $30, available in medium only

• Open Air Granite Peak Blue — $30, available in 2XL only

No matter which color you choose, you will benefit from fabric with UPF 50+ sun protection that will not deteriorate no matter how much you put your new hoodie through the laundry. That is reassuring when you are out on the trails, on your bicycle, or out on the water this fall, to wear as a layer this winter, or if you're stocking up your wardrobe for next spring and summer.

The material will also wick moisture away from your body so that you and your sun shirt dry off more quickly. The hoodie is designed for you to have flexibility in your movements, and there are thumb holes if you like to use those to help keep your sleeves in place.
