Women's 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 a women specific 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.

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!
