Cotopaxi Women's Sombra Sun Dress

Cotopaxi Sombra Sun Dress

Built for hot days on the water or around town, the Sombra is a lightweight, hooded sun dress that trades bulky coverage for something you'll actually want to wear all afternoon. It packs UPF 50+ protection into a breathable polyester shell, so you can skip the extra sunscreen layers on the parts it covers.

Why We Carry It: We like having a real sun-protection option that doesn't feel like a technical shell, something you can paddle in and then walk into town for coffee without changing.

Highlights

• UPF 50+ protection: Blocks the sun on long days at the lake or river without needing to reapply sunscreen under it.
• Hooded coverage: Extra shade for your neck and head when you're out without a hat.
• Long sleeves with thumbholes: Keeps sun off your hands and forearms and stays put while you're paddling or hiking.
• Antimicrobial, wicking finish: Stays fresh and dries fast after a swim or a sweaty walk back to the car.
• Polygiene anti-odor treatment: Handles repeat wear between washes, useful for multi-day trips.
• Adjustable drawcord hem: Tucked into a hidden pocket so you can shorten the length or let it hang loose depending on what you're doing.
• Drop-in hand pockets: Somewhere to stash keys or a phone without carrying a bag.
• Contrast binding at cuffs and hood: Small detail that adds a bit of color without making it feel like technical gear.

Best For: Paddlers and lake days where you want sun coverage without switching into a full technical layer. Works just as well as a throw-on piece for wandering around town afterward.

Condition Note: Knee length with a drop hem, so it layers easily over a swimsuit or leggings depending on the day.
