What is the Alpenglow Hoodie?
It's a super lightweight hoodie designed for climbing and adventuring in hot climates and exposed, humid conditions. You can wear this clever hoodie next to the skin as it reflects 71% of near-infrared rays to help keep you cool. It also has built-in technology to help prevent odour build-up. What more could you want during summer?!
What is it made of?
The Alpenglow Hoodie comprises polyester textured stretch knit material that is lightweight, breathable and smooth against the skin. It offers UPF 50+ sun protection and is treated with Polygiene® Odour Control technology to give it an anti-odour finish. So, if you're working up a sweat, you won't need to worry about it stinking afterwards, also reducing the number of times you'll need to wash it - win! Polygiene® prevents the growth of odour-causing bacteria and fungi by integrating a low concentration of silver salt into the fabric. Silver salt does not contain nanosilver, so it's completely safe to wear and has natural antimicrobial properties, which are only active in the textile.
What are its features?
The highlight feature of the Alpenglow Hoodie is the 'BD.cool' mineral-based, in-fibre cooling technology. This technology reflects 71% of near-infrared rays to help reduce the wearers' perceived temperature, keeping you cooler for longer, even in the hottest surroundings. Being a mineral-based technology, this clever innovation proves no risk to health or safety when wearing the layer next to the skin, unlike artificial chemical alternatives.
An under-the-helmet hood also offers coverage for the neck and ears when you're on the wall, making this an essential piece of clothing for climbing trips to hot countries and desert settings or even tackling summer projects closer to home.
Underarm gussets improve range of motion where needed most for climbing and participating in dynamic activities like fast hiking, scrambling or even kayaking.
A subtle credit card pocket on the hip also provides somewhere safe to stash a card in case of emergency, whether you're gagging for a post-send coffee or a simple sweet treat to get you through the day.
