Casa de Luna Manzanita Forest Sun Hoodie
A summer staple on the trail, this hooded sun shirt was inspired and selected by trail angel legends, Terrie and Joe Anderson. They generously opened their home, Casa de Luna, to PCT hikers for over 20 years.
With a loose t-shirt-like fit and UPF50+ fabric, you’ll stay comfy all day whether you’re exploring a new trail close to home or far away. The smart lay-flat seam design, kangaroo-style front pocket, and breathable hood are constructed from breathable, protective fabric.
True-To-Trail Print: Inspired by Casa De Luna, this print features Manzanita trees and shrubs to commemorate the landscape around the home where Terry and Joe hosted nearly 20,000 hikers.
At Terrie and Joe’s request, 5% of the retail price will be donated to the Pacific Crest Trail Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. To help support their continued efforts to preserve the trail for generations to come.

Saw this beauty at Appalachian Trail Days and knew I had to have it. Not only is it beautiful, it’s highly functional, protecting me from damaging UV. Love it!
The kiddo wore this as SOON as she gotIin her hands! perfect choice
This is my 4th shirt. I bought the PCT and woodgrain shirts back in 2024 and wore them almost every hike. They are still in excellent shape but finally started fading out so I decided to upgrade this year.
I bought the Rock Chuck shirt in January and let me tell you, nothing I’ve ever worn before geta the attention of them dirt woodland creatures. Nearly everyone I pass on trail comments.
I wanted to make sure it didn’t look like I was posting the same hike in the same shirt every time so purchased the aqua Seven Peaks last month. Sure, it’s doesn’t get the attention of the Rock Chuck but it’s still the same great quality shirt as the others. And the light color helps in the baking California sun. my only gripe is I wish it had the town shirt logo on it like most of the others. It helps when someone ask where I got it from but I can’t talk be it in out of breath climbing a hill
This Bluebell was purchased for my wife at the same time as the Red Eft hoodie I reviewed previously. That review applies to this shirt also. We are both pleased with all the products we have acquired from Townshirt. Our sincere compliments to Dylan.
I love TownShirts, I got a whole load of these as gifts for my groomsmen. They love them and we hit the trail on my Bachpacking trip in style! We love the sun protectio, breathable fabric, and got tons of compliments on the trail! Thanks a ton TownShirt team, y'all rock and I will always share my love for y'all when I get the chance!!
What a perfect shirt. I purchased a large which is a bit oversized for me but I love it! I wore it on a quick three day backpacking trek near Grouse Ridge in Sierra Nevadas. I received numerous compliments and my 9 year grandson thought it was pretty cool. Although he truly believes that the marmots are actually otters. I’m still working on animal identification with him. Love this shirt!
First the design of the Sun Hoodie is excellent! It's incredibly comfortable and the fabric print with the Rock Chucks is about the most adorable thing around. I love the thumb loops, front pocket, and adjustable hood. The fabric is extremely light and breathable. I took it out for the first time in Big Bend Ranch State Park and it performed very well. I might dip it in permethrin to help keep biting insects at bay. So far I'm extremely pleased with this shirt and ordered two more! Thank you Town Shirt!
I consider myself somewhat of a gearhead, and I have tried many brands. This sun hoodie is hands-down one of the best pieces I own. It keeps me cool in the hot Arizona desert, and keeps the sun off my face with the enclosed hoodie that snaps together under your chin for extra coverage. I own 2 of these hoodies and I just ordered two more!
I don’t know how they do it, but this is the most amazing shirt. The lily print is cool on hot days and warm on cool days. Just buy the shirt. My favorite. I have other brands of a “sun shirt” but this one is the very best. Well worth the $$. Again, just buy the shirt. The biggest problem is choosing which print.
I love it ,very comfortable . Do you have shorts sleeves with Hoodie and different colors. Thanks.
A lovely print that delights little old ladies in southern churches. This print was so nice my mom let me wear it to church. I now refer to this as my “fancy” Townshirt.
Ohhh... the places this shirt has taken me. Love it always get compliments. Makes me feel beautiful, makes me feel strong. My favorite shirt, my backpacking must have. Just love it.
Super comfy and cool. I broke my new top in in Colorado with 90° temps and it's great! Love the deeper hood! It pulls all the forward over my ball cap.
I love everything about this sun shirt! This is my fourth Townshirt and besides being super comfortable they look great and I am constantly asked where I got my shirt!
Great customer service
Most awesome sunshirt ever.
Durable & doesn't hold my sweat! Love this shirt & thank you for making clothing that is fun!! I also really appreciate the button to keep the hood up and sun off my neck
Rocks as always
Well made and colorful
Always great!
Positive: I really love the look, and that they have big sizes. Looks great, dries super fast. E-Mails were answered immediately and the shirt came quickly, even to Europe. Quite comfortable even when it is hot, unless it gets very humid, then it feels sticky. On the other hand, some loose threads after only a couple of days wearing it, and it does smell, especially on day 2 without shower. Not as bad as cheap synthetics, can tell it is high quality material. Have not worn it for longer yet... not sure if I can bear the smell for a week without showers. Compared to what I usually wear (Merino wool), the smell is a big difference. On the other hand, Merino is too hot with long sleeves (at least for me). So we'll see how it goes... maybe I'll get used to it.
Thanks for the thoughtful review, Kathrin. We’re glad to hear you liked the look, sizing, quick dry time, shipping speed, and customer service.
Any shirt worn for multiple hot days between washes can pick up body odor, especially in humid conditions. Our fabric is built around sun protection, quick drying, breathability, stretch, durability, and comfort in warm weather.
The loose threads are the part we’d like to take a closer look at. That is not something we want to see after only a couple days of wear. Please email us a photo when you have a chance so we can review it and make it right if there is a construction issue.
Thanks again for taking the time to share detailed feedback.
I live the fit of this top and the fabric. The cinch at the waist is so functional. Perfect weight and the color is outstanding!
This gets comments everywhere I’ve hiked or paddled with this beautiful top!
This is the coolest shirt I've ever owned. I absolutely adore the red eft design. I've gotten so many compliments on it and it's wicked comfortable!
