Altitude Sun Hoodie

The Altitude Sun Hoodie was built for pushing boundaries and conquering new heights. Designed for those who seek adventure and demand performance, the Altitude is one of the lightest weight synthetic sun hoodies available. Here's why it's perfect for your next excursion:

  • Near Weightlessness and Breathability: Experience unparalleled comfort with the Altitude's lightweight construction and exceptional breathability. Whether you're trail running, hiking, or exploring the great outdoors, its thoughtful design ensures you stay comfortable every step of the way.
  • Sun Protection: Named for its ability to shield you from the harsh sun at high elevation, the Altitude Sun Hoodie is your defense against sunburns. Tested on the challenging Uinta Highline Trail, it proved its worth over 100 miles of rugged terrain, with 80% of those miles above 10,000 ft in elevation.
  • Moisture Management: Stay dry and comfortable no matter the conditions. The performance synthetic fabric wicks moisture away from your skin and dries rapidly, making the Altitude suitable for year-round use as a base layer.
  • Comfortable Fit: Designed for high activity, the Altitude offers an athletic fit that's not tight or restrictive. This allows the synthetic blend to effectively manage moisture while providing freedom of movement.
  • More Coverage: The high collar offers maximum coverage, even when the hood is down. The ultralight fabric provides sun protection without causing overheating, so you can adventure day-in and day-out without worrying about sensitive skin. 

Experience better back country comfort with the Altitude Sun Hoodie. No hardware, no frills—just 4 oz of breathable & protective performance.

FUZE Antimicrobial Treatment

The polyester fabric used for the Altitude is literally lined with Silver. No, really. Silver mineral naturally kills bacteria & has been used in antibacterial ointments for years. FUZE™ has developed a method to permanently bond Silver mineral to fabrics to increase bacteria resistance & improve odor control. 

Now you get a 4 oz synthetic sun hoodie that not only wicks moisture & dries quickly, but ALSO kills bacteria & prevents odor buildup!

When bacteria come in contact with the silver mineral that has been permanently bonded to the fabric, the silver pierces their membrane shell - killing the bacteria.

Fantastic product

This is the perfect base layer for 4 season backpacking or hiking. Keep the sun and bugs off you and doubles as a sleep sac without the fussing around with a sleeping bag liner. I bring two on every trip and swap them to clean as I hike on bigger trips.

Lightweight, comfortable and practical! I originally bought a medium which is my normal size but it was a little snug so I gifted it to my wife. Got a large and it fits the way I like so now we match! If you see a 6' 170lb guy and a pretty blonde on trail that are matching don't laugh because we're both happy with Outdoor Vitals!!!

Delicate Hoodie

Fits well, true sizing. Very comfortable in cool weather. Rather delicate piece, After first wearing during a backpack, material did not hold up well. A pull developed where pack was on back. Did not affect performance. Expected better performance. Would buy again knowing its limitations but there are other stronger hoodies on the market.

Great base layer

I’ve got 3 of these now. Love it as stand alone top in summer as well as a base layer when it’s cooler.
