Northyard Featured in NBC Select’s Best Cooling Shirts of 2026

We’re proud to share that Northyard has been featured in NBC Select’s “Best Cooling Shirts of 2026,” where our Men’s UPF 50+ Hoodie Shirt was selected among a curated list of leading performance apparel brands.

The feature places Northyard alongside globally recognized names such as Under Armour, Columbia, and Nike—brands that continue to define innovation in athletic and outdoor wear.

Recognized for Real-World Performance in Heat Conditions

In the NBC Select editorial feature, the Northyard Men’s UPF 50+ Hoodie Shirt was highlighted for its practical performance in real outdoor environments.

The editor noted its suitability for all-day wear in hot conditions, particularly for outdoor activities such as golf and general sun exposure. The shirt was recognized for its ability to balance breathability, sun protection, and comfort during extended use.

Designed with performance in mind, the hoodie shirt features:

• UPF 50+ sun protection for extended outdoor exposure
• Moisture-wicking fabric that helps keep the body dry
• Lightweight, breathable construction for warm weather
• Flatlock seams designed to reduce friction during movement
• Reflective detailing for low-light visibility
• A hood for additional sun coverage when needed

Built for Outdoor Movement and Everyday Use

Northyard products are designed around a simple principle: performance apparel should adapt to real-life conditions, not just workouts.

The UPF 50+ Hoodie Shirt is widely used across multiple outdoor scenarios, including:

• Running and training sessions in summer heat
• Golf and long hours under direct sunlight
• Hiking and outdoor recreation
• Fishing and general outdoor work

The combination of lightweight fabric and functional design allows it to perform across both athletic and casual environments.

Part of a Growing Category of Cooling Performance Wear

The NBC Select feature reflects a broader trend in 2026 toward high-performance cooling apparel, where consumers increasingly prioritize:

• Sun protection (UPF-rated fabrics)
• Moisture management
• Breathability in high temperatures
• Multi-purpose athletic-casual design

Northyard continues to develop products aligned with these needs, focusing on accessible performance wear for everyday athletes and outdoor users.
