Alpenglow Hooded Shirt
Shield yourself from the sun with the Black Diamond Men's Alpenglow Hooded Shirt during long days on belay under the searing desert sun. Its lightweight fabric protects your skin from harsh UV rays without making you overheat, and it wicks sweat to help you stay dry and cool. Mobility-enhancing underarm gussets and an under-the-helmet hood allow you to wear it while climbing without feeling like you're in a straight jacket. Black Diamond also added a polygiene anti-odor treatment to keep the car from smelling foul on the long car ride back from the desert.

Perfect for the Longs Peak Trail
I wore this hoody recently on the Longs Peak trail, and it was exactly what I needed. Lightweight and breathable on the climb, but still gave enough coverage and sun protection at higher elevation. The fit is comfortable, layers easily, and the fabric held up great through a long, demanding day. Highly recommend it for serious hikes and mountain adventures.

Great sunshirt
I wear my hoody every day as I'm a redhead who's outdoors every day walking and climbing in the summer. It's super-lightweight, blocks all UVs, and even looks good. I never put sunscreen on anymore, and the hood fits over my cap or helmet easily. I own three, and they're great. Highly recommend.

I’ve tried hoodies from three
I’ve tried hoodies from three well known outdoor gear companies, and I have found the BD Alpenglow to be the most comfortable and best fitting of all of them.

Amazing quality, great odor repellence
I wore this hoody, went climbing for hours in early August, went out with friends afterwards for drinks and it still has no smell on it. Dries super fast, and is great for all things outdoor

Didn’t fit right
Xs was still too big, sleeves and torso are long- wish Black Diamond offered an xxs or made the women’s without the annoying side pocket.

Works great and fits with other Sun Hoodies well
I purchased this because of the mineral based sun block. As compared to the sweat activated cooling from Columbia, etc. I found that it works well to block sun and keep you cool. Tested in mild desert temps around 95 and I felt cool. The only think to be aware of is it does not absorb water like Columbia Omni Freeze or Patagonia Capilene so you do not have the evaporative effect and it's not AS cool as its competitors. Best for lower temps where you don't need to be soaking in water, or just don't care. For extreme temps were you want to maintain evaporative effects this would not be the best.

Awesome Hoody
My partner and I wear ours rock climbing when there is a chill in the air or too much sun exposure. We also wear it hiking up 14'ers and other alpine hiking trips. It has become our go to hoody!! It is light weight, breathable, dries quickly and allows total freedom of movement. Well Done BD!!

Everyday Comfort
I have several Alpenglow Hoodies and I wear them everyday from Spring to Fall. They take care of the early morning chill, protect from the noon time sun and stymie those pesky mosquitoes at dusk.

Solid Sun Hoody
This thing is comfy, light, and protects you from the elements while keeping you cool. The only drawback for me is lack of chest zip or snaps. I believe the Alpenglow Pro has that though, so I'll have to check that one out!
