Capilene Cool Sun Hoody
The cooling refuge for the exposed route.
The Capilene Cool Sun Hoody is the dedicated shield for days when the sun is the primary hazard. Unlike standard base layers, this piece is engineered specifically to manage the intense exposure of glacier travel, high-altitude approaches, and open water. Built with a specialized textured back that lifts the fabric off your skin to maximize airflow, it offers substantial UPF 40+ protection without the stifling heat of traditional sun shirts. Whether you are navigating a reflective snowfield or baking on a desert wall, this hoody allows you to skip the constant sunscreen reapplication and focus on the route, keeping you cool, covered, and burn-free.

Our Philosophy
We Simplify Outfitting
Whittaker Mountaineering was born out of the need for RMI to make sure their clients had the appropriate gear to get to the top of Mt. Rainier safely. After decades of trying, reviewing, arguing-over, and recommending gear, we can’t help but know what we’re doing by this point. We know what works, we know what doesn’t, and we use that expertise to stock our store.
