Our Take

We like the Alpenglow Hoody for how naturally it keeps you cool and protected during long stretches of climbing, hiking, or traversing in strong sun. The BD.cool fabric noticeably reduces heat buildup, and the hood design works cleanly with a helmet without feeling restrictive. Add in the odor-control treatment, and it’s a layer that stays comfortable over long, active days.

Straight From The Source

Why We Love It
Erika Birkeland

Sun exposure at altitude is relentless, and the Alpenglow Hoody is built specifically for that environment. The UPF 40+ protection is serious, and the fabric wicks and breathes well enough to wear all day while moving hard without overheating. What guides consistently point to is the hood, sized to fit over a hat or under a helmet without bunching or adjusting, which is exactly what you want on a long alpine day where conditions change and you never fully stop moving. The mineral-based BD.cool technology reflects infrared rays rather than just blocking UV, which keeps the fabric from absorbing heat and cooking you on exposed terrain. It works as a standalone piece in warmer conditions and as a base layer when temperatures drop, earning its place in the pack across a wide range of objectives.

“The black diamond alpenglow hoody provides a perfectly sized hood for both a hat and a helmet, and comfortable material. This is my go to baselayer.”
— Erika Birkeland, RMI Guide

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?

Black Diamond

Black Diamond has been outfitting mountain professionals for decades, building gear that’s tested on real climbs, not just in labs. We carry Black Diamond because their designs consistently deliver dependable performance where it matters most.
