Altitude Sun Hoodie

Altitude Sun Hoodie

I tried to save some money by buying another brand. When I got the other brand it was heavy and hot and did not breath well. Obviously I wasted that money and then decided to purchase the altitude Sun Hoodie. It is such a nice shirt. It is light and breathes well. I like the color that I chose as well. It is worth spending a few extra dollars for a nice product. Lesson learned.

Excellent wicking and sun protection

I used this to hike the JMT. It kept me cool and definitely protected me from the sun. Its also quite robust. I fell and got a graze on my arm through the hoodie. However, the fabric remained undamaged which is surprising and excellent.

Stellar sun hoodie for warm weather

After some time with this and the long and short sleeved Altitude shirts, I'm so impressed with how they perform in hot weather. Some of the coolest material on the skin I've come across in 40 years of backpacking. So breathable! The odor factor isn't up to merino or alpaca wool level, but those materials are too warm for hot weather, and this does outperform other hot weather material for odor resistance. Very lightweight also - right up there with some of the lightest material in my gear locker.
