What is the Alpenglow Pro Hoodie?
It's a versatile hoodie that you can wear next to the skin or as a lightweight outer layer in warm yet unpredictable conditions. Whether hiking during the summertime or spending a hot day training at the crag, it'll keep you protected from the sun and shielded from any showers that come your way.
What is it made of?
The Alpenglow Pro comprises a nylon stretch jersey, which is lightweight yet incredibly durable and feels smooth against the skin. The fabric offers UPF 50+ sun protection to deliver effective shielding from the sun's harmful rays, making it ideal for those adventuring midsummer and who hate the feeling of sticky sun cream!
It's treated with GTT Empel™ technology to provide ample water resistance. However, please note that this doesn't make it completely waterproof. Green Theme Technologies (GTT) Empel™ DWR takes a much more sustainable approach to water-repellent treatments, being completely free of water, palm oil and PFC pollutants to lessen its environmental impact.
Mesh panels under the arms are treated with HeiQ Fresh odour neutralising technology, which uses food industry sugar by-products to create one of the most environmentally friendly and least harmful ways of neutralising odour. It allows you to benefit from all the performance of nylon without spoiling the fresh mountain air!
What features does it have?
A quarter-zip opening at the neck allows for extra ventilation when working hard, while the elasticated over-the-helmet hood provides further coverage for multi-pitch ascents and long belay jobs in exposed surroundings.
The specifically developed length and fit are harness-compatible for maximum functionality and comfort. Thumb loops help to keep the sleeves in place when reaching for the next hold or handling gear.
Last but not least, this hoodie comes with a zipped chest pocket for keeping valuables and small essentials close to hand, whether trail snacks, energy gels, keys or a mobile phone.
