Hurley Hybrid UPF Hooded Lycra
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Water, Ready for the Sun
The Hurley Hybrid UPF Hooded Lycra is a long-sleeve hooded rashguard built around one idea: spend more time outside without paying for it later. The hybrid fabric performs in and out of the water, moving with you whether you are paddling out, walking the beach, or heading off the sand. Built-in UPF sun protection shields your arms, torso, and neck so you can focus on the session, not the sunscreen reapplication.
Hybrid Fabric That Works In and Out of the Water
Most rash guards feel stiff on land and most hoodies feel wrong in the surf. The Hurley Hybrid UPF Hooded Long Sleeve sits in neither camp. The hybrid construction is engineered to handle water entry and quick-dry performance while keeping the relaxed, comfortable feel you want when you are out of the water. The result is a single layer that covers you from the lineup to lunch without a wardrobe change.
UPF Sun Protection Built In
The fabric carries built-in UPF sun protection that blocks harmful UV rays across the full sleeve and torso. The attached hood extends that coverage to your neck and the back of your head, the zones that take the most exposure during a long session. For surfers, paddlers, and anyone who logs serious hours under the South Florida sun, that overhead protection is not a bonus feature -- it is the point of the hood.
Hurley Design and Fit
Hurley has built its identity around ocean culture, inclusion, and the kind of positive energy that comes from time spent in the water. The Hybrid UPF Hooded Lycra carries that through in a clean, athletic cut with a small graphic at the left chest. The fit is athletic without being restrictive, so arm reach and paddling motion stay unrestricted. The long sleeves stay in place rather than riding up mid-session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Hurley Hybrid UPF Hooded Lycra a rash guard or a sun shirt?
- It functions as both. The hybrid fabric and UPF protection make it a proper rashguard for water use, and the hooded, long-sleeve design doubles as a sun shirt for beach and outdoor wear. Hurley markets it as a hooded lycra, but it covers the same use cases as a UPF rash guard hoodie.
- Can I wear this rash guard hoodie in the ocean?
- Yes. The hybrid fabric is designed to perform in and out of the water. It handles salt water, moves with you while paddling, and dries quickly when you exit the surf.
- Does the hood provide sun protection?
- The attached hood extends UPF coverage to your neck and head, areas that receive direct overhead sun exposure during surfing, paddling, or any extended outdoor activity.
- How does a hooded rash guard differ from a standard rash guard?
- A standard rash guard covers the torso and arms. A hooded rash guard adds an attached hood that protects the neck and back of the head. This matters most during long water sessions where the hood eliminates gaps in sun protection that a standard rash guard leaves open.
- Is this a good option for a men's hooded rashguard for surfing?
- Yes. The Hurley Hybrid UPF Hooded Long Sleeve is built specifically for active water use. The hybrid construction handles repeated water entry and the athletic cut allows full range of motion for paddling and pop-up.
- Where can I buy the Hurley Hybrid UPF Hooded Lycra?
- It is available at Island Water Sports in store and online. You can reach the store team at 954-427-4929 for any questions.
- How do I care for a UPF hooded lycra?
- As a general rule for hybrid lycra and rashguard fabrics: rinse in fresh water after ocean use, machine wash cold with mild detergent, and hang dry away from direct heat. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade performance fabrics over time. Check the garment's care label for the manufacturer's specific instructions.
