DETAILS
The Philo Hybrid Hooded UV Top was born from the need for serious sun protection, comfort, and performance during long sessions in warm water.
Whether you're chasing waves in the tropics or logging hours on your board under an unforgiving sun, we wanted to create a piece that had your back - literally.
We combined high-quality UV-protective Lycra with a performance-engineered hood and face-contouring fit to shield you from the elements, without restricting movement or comfort.
From its secure fit to its thoughtful details like the flexible brim and drawcord hood, this top is built to stay put, feel good, and let you focus on surfing - not adjusting gear or dodging sunburn.
In short: it’s protection, performance, and peace of mind - all in one top.

Most reliable, warm, durable wetsuits: they actually last several seasons unlike xcel and oniell

Owned almost all the other hoodie rashguards and this one is DA BEST. The little neoprene on the chest adds warmth and comfort, and the rashguard material is a little more insulating too. This will see me through a bunch of summer swells. Fit is also consistent (I'm a large in this one and almost every other brand, too).
Con: the fabric between the top of the shoulders to the top of the head is a little short. It pulls up on the small visor unless I'm paddling. Wish it was just a tad longer for comfort.
Matuse always makes their products great for sun, wind and cold water protection, love this company
It's more of a layer (ie rash guard) than anything else. Put this on, and then put on the BC Vest and now you're talking. Buy up a size, I'm a L, XL fits way better.

Love the 0.5mm Geoflex front panel, great for warm water.
Good quality and I would highly recommend.
Love the .5 mm chest pieces, and the hoodie works so great!
I am 6’1” and 210 pounds I bought the XXL. Fits moderately loose but it’s good, better than ordering small and it being tight. I think the quality would be good enough if I ordered too small. It’s a good feeling rashguard. The hood is a little loose and the drawstring is in a strange place but no effect while surfing. Keeps the sun off me here in the tropics. Pretty happy with it, I ordered another one immediately
It’s a great top love the way it feels and how it moves when I’m paddling
What a great top. Just used it for 10 days straight in Sumatra in the morning and evening sessions. Very well constructed and super comfortable
I live in Hawaii and this top checks all the boxes. Before this I had a Florence wind skin top that ripped when I fell on a wave. They refunded me kindly. I bought one of these. Way better. It has 0.5mm padding on the chest only, which makes it comfier to paddle. The rest of it is like a normal rashguard. Well designed.
I will prefer that the hood doesn’t had the cord with that plastic thing to adjust, other than that everything is great
This thing is great. The .5mm on the chest is perfect to prevent rash and rib pain. I was a little concerned it would be too warm, but I used in 90 degree NC weather and I was perfectly comfortable. I’m 162 pounds with somewhat of an athletic build and the large was perfect for me. I probably won’t use the hood, I kept it down and didn’t even notice it was there. 5/5!
After using this top in sunny summer SD I am quite pleased with it. The 0.5mm chest area helps prevent chafing and adds great comfort. A small thing is the hood cord toggle stopper is quite large and bulky, sometimes adding discomfort to the face/cheek area. Overall still a great product and glad with my purchase for water activities including surfing, body boarding and body surfing.
Thanks Matuse, just got my new Philo hybrid hooded UV Top and I'm pretty amazed how well designed it is. The lycra on most of the suit is warm, breathable and not too thin. The best part of the top is the .5 Geoflex limestone rubber on the front. It's perfectly placed on chest for just a lil cushion against the board and surprisingly great wind blockage. Cheers guys.
