Hurley H2O-Dri Outback Hooded LS Top
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Elements
The Hurley H2O-Dri Outback Hooded Long Sleeve Top is engineered for surfers, paddlers, and anyone who logs serious time outdoors. It combines Hurley's H2O-Dri moisture-wicking technology with UPF 50+ sun protection and a built-in hood, so you stay cool, dry, and covered from the first session to the last.
H2O-Dri Performance Fabric
The shell is a 135gsm performance blend of 90% polyester and 10% spandex. That ratio gives the fabric just enough stretch to move with your body while the H2O-Dri treatment pulls sweat and moisture away from your skin and pushes it to the fabric surface where it can evaporate. The result is a top that keeps you feeling dry even when conditions push your heart rate up.
UPF 50+ and Hood for Full Sun Coverage
Rated UPF 50+, the Outback Hooded LS Top blocks more than 98% of UVA and UVB radiation. The built-in hood extends that coverage to the back of the neck and ears without requiring a separate hat or neck gaiter, making it a practical all-in-one layer for long surf sessions, stand-up paddling, or a full day at the beach.
Perforated Fabric Construction
Perforations throughout the fabric create micro air channels that promote passive airflow. This breathability upgrade is what separates the Outback from a basic rash guard, letting heat escape and fresh air in so the top feels comfortable even in warm, humid conditions.
Details and Finish
Hurley finished the Outback with a Fastlane screenprint graphic and a Fastlane Woven Label for clean brand identity. A custom back neck label replaces the standard sewn-in tag for reduced irritation, and an H2O-DRI heat transfer at the hem confirms the fabric's performance certification at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Hurley H2O-Dri Outback good as a rash guard?
- Yes. The H2O-Dri Outback Hooded LS Top functions as a surf shirt and rash guard alternative. It provides UPF 50+ sun protection, covers the arms and neck, and the stretch polyester-spandex blend resists chafe from board wax and wetsuit collars. For in-water use it dries quickly thanks to the H2O-Dri wicking construction.
- What does UPF 50+ mean on a long sleeve shirt?
- UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+ means the fabric blocks more than 98% of both UVA and UVB solar radiation that reaches the skin beneath it. On the Hurley Outback this rating applies to the body, sleeves, and hood, giving full-length arm and head coverage without sunscreen on those areas.
- How does H2O-Dri fabric work?
- H2O-Dri is Hurley's moisture-wicking treatment applied to the polyester-spandex fabric. It uses the capillary properties of the polyester fibers to draw perspiration and water away from the skin and spread it across a larger surface area on the outside of the shirt where it evaporates faster, keeping the skin-side feeling drier.
- Does the hooded long sleeve top have a zipper or is it a pullover?
- The H2O-Dri Outback Hooded LS Top is a pullover silhouette with no zipper. The hood is integrated into the neckline and pulls on over the head. This keeps the construction simple and eliminates a potential point of irritation against the skin or a wetsuit.
- How should I care for this Hurley long sleeve shirt?
- Performance polyester-spandex blends like the H2O-Dri Outback should be machine washed in cold water on a gentle cycle and line or hang dried. Avoid high heat in the dryer, bleach, and fabric softeners, which can break down the H2O-Dri moisture-wicking treatment over time.
- Can I wear this as a standalone top or is it meant to layer under a wetsuit?
- Both. The Outback Hooded LS Top is designed to be worn as a standalone sun-protective layer for warm-weather surf, paddling, beach days, or outdoor activity. It is also thin enough to wear under a spring suit or shorty wetsuit for added warmth and chafe protection on cooler days.
- Where can I buy the Hurley H2O-Dri Outback Hooded LS Top?
- It is available at Island Water Sports in South Florida and through the online store at islandwatersports.com. For in-store questions call 954-427-4929.
