Bottom Line The Ridge Merino Solstice is a merino sun hoodie designed for breathability, temperature regulation, and sun protection during hikes and other outdoor adventures. I tested the Solstice during a month of bikepacking and
Summary: The Ridge Merino Solstice stands out as an affordable all-around merino sun hoody. Though the fabric feels a little heavy for the hottest days, it does everything else really well: sun protection, durability, comfort, and no-see-through looks especially. The larger hood is a matter of personal preference, but overall the design is thoughtful and the fit is forgiving.
