The natural shield against the alpine sun.

The Merino Sun Hoodie redefines sun protection for the mountain athlete who prefers natural fibers over synthetic plastics. Designed to offer a cooler, more breathable alternative to traditional polyester sun shirts, it utilizes a lightweight Merino jersey fabric that keeps pure wool next to your skin for superior temperature regulation and odor resistance. Whether you are navigating a glacier in full sun or hiking through the high desert, this hoodie provides UPF 40+ coverage without the clammy feel of synthetic fabrics, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable even when the heat ramps up.

Our Take

We stock the Merino Sun Hoodie because it solves the biggest complaint about sun shirts: the "plastic bag" effect. Most UPF shirts are 100% polyester, which can feel sticky and smell terrible after a single day of sweat. Smartwool’s solution uses the natural ability of wool to regulate temperature and resist odors, making this the superior choice for multi-day trips where washing isn't an option. It feels like a premium base layer but acts like armor against the sun.

Details & Features

Natural Performance: Built with a lightweight Merino jersey fabric that keeps 100% Merino wool next to the skin for comfort and moisture management.
Core Spun Durability: Utilizes a recycled nylon core wrapped in Merino wool to increase the garment's lifespan without sacrificing the soft feel of wool.
UPF 40+ Protection: Provides substantial protection against harmful UV rays, reducing the need for constant sunscreen reapplication on covered areas.
Chafe-Free Seams: Offset shoulder and side seams are strategically placed to prevent irritation under backpack straps.
Extended Coverage: Features a large hood designed to drape over a hat or helmet, plus thumbholes to keep sleeves in place and protect the backs of hands.
Relaxed Fit: Cut with a relaxed silhouette that promotes airflow and allows for unrestricted movement without being baggy.

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.

Who are these guys?

Smartwool

Smartwool revolutionized the outdoor industry by introducing the performance benefits of Merino wool to the world of active pursuits. We carry them at Whittaker Mountaineering because they consistently set the standard for active comfort and temperature regulation. Their gear is built to handle the rigors of the mountains while remaining soft enough for days of continuous wear, making them a reliable staple in any climber's kit.
