The Alpenglow Pro sports a ¼ zip opening for regulating body temperature, HeiQ Pure™ underarm mesh panels for extra breathability, a concealed chest pocket, thumb loops, and an over-the-helmet compatible hood, making this hoody an essential layer from the desert to the alpine.

"This is a very cool jacket. I love the color, red/orange. The stretchy material is great. It’s light weight, but excellent wind protection."
"Breathable, right fit and works well in cold or warm weather"
"I’m always a medium. For this shirt I needed a small (5’10”/145lbs) The shirt is nice and does what it supposed to. I wish I could have given it 5 stars, but the best I can do is 2. For the price, the shirt is way too fragile. Get too close to a branch, you have a pull. Wear a backpack or Camelbak and everywhere the bag touch the shirt, the surface is destroyed. So, nice shirt, I like it, but after one full day of use, it already looks horrible."
"This is a perfectly fine sun hoodie, but the pro version is unnecessary. The neck zipper and pocket add extra bulk and discomfort with virtually no utility. Buy this hoody, just get the normal version without the "pro" features"
"Fits true to size and is comfortable to wear, hood can get up over a helmet without significant movement restrictions. My only complaint is the material is a bit too heavy and warm, it’ll be excellent in cooler seasons, but a bit too warm for spring sun protection"
"Great fit! Nice lightweight, yet versatile- grabbing a 2nd color for sure"
"Comfortable, lightweight and well ventilated, thumbs up!"
"I recently wore this over a synthetic T-shirt snowshoeing at 10k feet. The coverage is perfect to knock down any light wind but light enough keep you from overheating. Also perfect for sun protection, and the hood fits easily over a helmet. The fabric is a bit heavier than a regular sun hoodie, and is very stretchy. The pits are vented, and the quarter zip makes temperature adjustment on the fly fast and easy. I used this in early spring, and was moving. It is probably not adequate for any substantial insulation, but great to have on while you're moving."
"From glaciers to grasslands, from mountains to rivers, and experiencing all four seasons in one day as they say in Chilean Patagonia, the Alpenglow Pro Hoody was at once essential and effective. It's now the first thing I pack I want to be ready for the elements, come what may."
"Perfect light weight sun protection. Very comfortable."
