Women's "White Sands" Dry-Weather Sun Henley

Heat-ready. Featherlight. No synthetics.

Named after the National Park in southern New Mexico, our Women's White Sands long-sleeve hooded henley brings you sun-safe, featherlight comfort in the dry heat for 90ºF+ / 30ºC days. Our 55% hemp / 45% lyocell blend delivers chemical-free UPF 50+, a soft, no-cling drape, and a hood that vanishes when you don’t need it.

Features & Fit

White Sands - Women's Long-Sleeve Hooded Henley in Obsidian (Black) (Front view)
  • Superior Sun Protection: Natural UV protection from a chemical-free weave that never washes out, plus extra-long sleeves with thumbholes to shield your hands from the sun.
  • Cooler Where It Counts: Dissipates heat 30% better than polyester and 40% better than cotton. Breathability increases 30% in dry heat, so coverage doesn’t mean overheating.
  • Soft, No-Cling Comfort: Lyocell adds a smooth hand and fluid drape; hemp keeps the fabric airy and supportive. No plastic sheen, no cling, just easy movement.
  • Naturally Fresh: Inherent odor resistance means fewer washes and more wears—gentle on skin and the planet.
  • Disappearing Hood: Light, oversized hood designed to accommodate hats and small helmets or hide within the garment
  • Fit: Relaxed through the shoulders and body for airflow, with extra long sleeves and reinforced thumbholes

Before You Buy

  • Does it show sweat? It depends on the color. White and black are the most forgiving. Prickly Pear pink shows some, and Agave green shows a bit more. In dry climates, a visible sweat mark is often gone within minutes. If visible sweat bothers you, white or black are the safer bet. But if you're choosing Agave green because you like the muted desert tone, know that what you're seeing is the fabric working, not failing.

  • How see-through is it? Agave green and Ironwood black are fully opaque. Prickly Pear pink is nearly opaque, though a dark-colored sports bra may show through slightly. Desert Willow white is semi-sheer (not see-through). High-contrast items underneath like a bright sports bra, dark tank top, or high-contrast tattoo may be faintly visible, but skin tone alone typically doesn't show. In our prototype testing, both the white and pink performed well on their own without a base layer. If you want zero sheerness, green or black will get you there, but most people have worn the white and pink confidently on their own.

  • Does color affect heat? Yes. The Desert Willow white, Prickly Pear pink, and Agave green all perform similarly. The Ironwood black absorbs more sunlight and will feel warmer, especially in direct sun. The trade-off: darker colors block more UV. All of our colorways have natural UV protection built into the hemp fiber itself, but if maximum sun protection is your priority, black has the edge.

  • How does it feel when sweating? It feels different than polyester, and that's by design. The hemp-tencel blend absorbs moisture rather than repelling it, so the fabric will feel heavier when you're perspiring. Polyester feels lighter because it's not absorbing anything, but that moisture is just sitting trapped between the fabric and your skin. Hemp-tencel pulls it into the fiber, spreads it out, and lets it evaporate. That evaporation is what's actually cooling you down. The sensation takes a wear or two to get used to, but our seasoned prototype testers (especially in dry heat) stopped noticing the weight and started noticing the cooling.

  • Is the hood too big? We intentionally sized the hood large. The previous version sat closer to the head, which looked cleaner but caught the wind too easily and didn't provide adequate sun coverage. The current hood stays put. It's sized to fit over a hat or cap, and at its fullest it will extend past your forehead. If that's more coverage than you want, slide it back an inch or two and it'll sit where you need it. We'd rather give you a hood you can adjust than one that won't stay up.
