Product stories
So light you'll always want to carry it.
The surprisingly light weight for easy portability* is made possible by the fabric woven with lightweight, ultrafine yarn that weighs only about 1 gram per 300 meters.** When you fold it up and place it in the accompanying pouch, it fits in the palm of your hand and takes up little space in your bag. It's lightweight and compact, making it perfect for commuting, going out in the neighborhood, personal travel, and business trips.
*Women's pocketable UV cut hoodie When measured with Japanese standard L (without storage bag), approx. 159 grams.
*55% recycled polyester fibre is used for the main body.
Just put it on for protection from the sun.
The secret to the protection for your skin lies in the fabric's double UV blocking that absorbs and reflects UV rays. The UV protection level is UPF 50+, the highest rating on the UV protection index for clothing. The effect lasts after washing because the yarn itself blocks UV rays.* In addition, a water-repellent agent affixed to the fabric's surface makes water slide off in light rain.
*Repeated use and washing may reduce effectiveness.
Fashionable sun protection all year round.
KOO JAEMO is a dancer and choreographer who often appears in the background for K-pop artists. Sun protection and fashion are essential in his profession, and he relies on UNIQLO’s Pocketable UV Protection Parka throughout the year. The key point is that the fabric is thin, but offers excellent UV protection. The hoodie can be worn even in hot weather, he says, and is ideal for fine temperature adjustment in air-conditioned rooms or when traveling overseas.
