This parka is suitable for sun protection, combining breathability and UV cut effects. The fabric is water-repellent, so it doesn't retain water easily even when wet, providing a comfortable feel when used near water. The hood and sleeves that cover the back of the hands effectively block sunlight. It also has hand pockets convenient for storing small items. I realized I had purchased the wrong size after home cleaning before use, and have been storing it at home. I only tried it on indoors. I have thrown away the tags. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. The photos appear blue, but the color is more like turquoise. I will fold it up small for shipping. Thank you for looking.
