Design inspiration: Firewheel

Meet the Firewheel

A little trail-side knowledge about the inspiration behind the print.

Bright Colors for Pollinators

Firewheel flowers have vivid red, orange, and yellow petals designed to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Their bright, contrasting colors act like a big "landing pad" that visually signals nectar rewards.

Drought Tolerance

Firewheels are super hardy and naturally thrive in dry, sandy, and poor soils. Their native habitat (especially in parts of the southern U.S. and Mexico) shaped their evolution to survive with little water.

Where You’ll Find Them

You can find firewheel flowers (Gaillardia) growing wild across much of the southern and central United States, especially in places like Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. They thrive in sunny, open fields, along roadsides, and in dry, sandy soils.

Survived my longest hike to date in this!

Used this hoody on my longest to date hike. 18.3 miles to the top of El Capitan in Yosemite NP. Weather was nice and cool on the way up but blistering hot on the way back down. Having the ability to zip down the front a bit and disperse some heat was awesome! My favorite color is blue so that puts the cherry on top for me!

Great shirt and great sun protection!

The Ultimate Sun Hoodie for Outdoor Adventures!

I was really looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint! This is the brand’s first model with a 3/4 zip, and it’s a game-changer. It keeps everything that makes their sun hoodies great: top-tier UPF50+ sun protection, outstanding breathability, and a super comfortable loose fit. But the 3/4 zip? That’s the real upgrade! It allows for quick ventilation when things heat up while still keeping you protected and comfortable.

Out on the trail, it feels fantastic. The flatlock seams prevent chafing, the fitted hood shields your neck and face without limiting visibility, and the kangaroo pocket is super handy for keeping small essentials within reach.

And let’s talk about the design… It’s a real work of art! Featuring a hand-painted watercolor print, it beautifully captures nature in full bloom. The Firewheel flower, a symbol of resilience and beauty, is surrounded by vibrant spring colors, making this hoodie truly unique. Whether you're hiking remote trails or just strolling around town, this piece stands out in the best way possible.

If you're looking for a high-performance, breathable, and stylish sun hoodie, this is a must-have. Top-notch protection without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics. Don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it! 🔥🏔️☀️

Fabulous sunshirt.

Great design - Love the features (hood, pocket), and the loons make me smile every time I put it on. SIZE NOTE: The unisex size is very generous. I am 5'11", athletic build, and I typically wear a women's size 12. I ordered a medium - in hindsight I should have ordered a SMALL. I guess I could give the shirt to my husband, but I like it so much that I'm holding on to it even though it is too big for me.

I appreciated the fast shipping. I get lots of compliments from non-hikers who are not familiar with the brand.

Epic and Stylish

I could not be happier with my new sun hoodie. The 1/4 zip is fantastic when it gets hot (and in find some shade). The loon designis fabulous. I can't wait to get a real work out this summer.

To my second sunhoodie with love

Dear sunhoodie, you makes my hikes comfortable and very stylish. While my other shirts have all pilled under my backpack straps, you always come out of the wash like brand new. And most of all, I love how your zip allows me to get in and adjust the girls in my sports bra without flashing the world. I love u forever. -Pikachu

Fantastic Sun hoodies!

Got this and another in a different design for my husband. Also bought two (in golden winged warbler and the bluebells design) for myself. Fantastic sun hoodies, great quality. Only complaint is my two have the town shirt logo on the front. Why do some and not others. Definitely detracts from the hoodie print.

LOON ZIP HOODIE

Bought it for my avid outdoorsman son . He likes the feel and protection provided by the fabric but really LOVES the print.

Gorgeous item!

Love the print, it is even more vibrant in real life. The zip is a great edition, I overheat really easily so it is nice to have the option of some ventilation whilst still staying protected from the sun.

M is larger than other mediums from TownShirt

It’s cute, but it’s a little sloppy on. I have the non-zip sun hoodies mediums and they fit great. I’d maybe go a size down if you want a more snug fit

Cool print

Love the print, love the fit. Classic Town Shirt quality. My only slight complaint is I don’t love the zipper when I’m sleeping, the inside can rub on my skin uncomfortably. But I can just change shirts to sleep while camping so it’s not a huge deal.

Awesome sauce!

Loving this new sun hoodie. The zip feature is fantastic for a little ventilation. Fit is perfect. A little roomier than the standard sun hoodies but oh so comfortable. Score!

But… Beware! You will get a ton of compliments cause this is 🔥. The colors are bold and they definitely pop!

Town Shirt never disappoints and always delivers. It’s
