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 Take

The Capilene Cool Sun Hoody is the piece we recommend when a customer says, "I burn easily." While the standard Capilene Cool Daily is a fantastic all-rounder, this specific "Sun" version is the specialist. We love the addition of the button closure at the neck—it solves the common problem of floppy hoods exposing your throat to the sun, especially on glaciers where light bounces off the snow from every angle. The fabric feels slightly more substantial than the Daily, giving you a true sense of protection without feeling heavy. It’s the closest thing to wearing shade.

Details & Features

Protective Construction: Made from 100% recycled polyester jersey with a specialized texture that provides UPF 40+ sun protection even when wet.
Engineered Airflow: The fabric’s textured back prevents it from clinging to sweaty skin, promoting cooling evaporation when the heat ramps up.
Secure Hood: A generous hood is designed to fit over a ball cap and features a button closure at the neckline to seal out UV rays and keep the hood secure in the wind.
Total Hand Coverage: Unique cuffs feature both thumbholes and middle-finger loops to keep sleeves extended over the backs of your hands, ensuring maximum protection while climbing or using poles.
Essential Storage: Includes a secure zippered side pocket with a corrosion-resistant zipper for stashing keys, lip balm, or cash.
Chafe-Free Seams: Minimal stitching and carefully placed seams reduce friction points, ensuring comfort under a heavy pack or harness.

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?

Patagonia

We stock Patagonia because they prove that performance and responsibility are not mutually exclusive. For decades, they have been the conscience of the outdoor industry, but more importantly for our customers, they build gear that simply works. From their legendary Regulator fleece to their bombproof shells, Patagonia equipment is a staple in our packs because it survives the abuse of the alpine environment season after season—and it’s all backed by their Ironclad Guarantee.
