The streamlined regulator for vertical motion.

The Women's Kyanite LT Hoody is the versatile solution for mountain athletes who need warmth without the bulk. Designed to function as a high-performance thermal regulator, this lightweight layer manages the fluctuating temperatures of technical climbs and high-output approaches. Its incredibly soft, stretchy fabric moves with you through every reach and high step, offering a "second-skin" feel that layers imperceptibly under a harness or shell. Whether worn as a standalone piece on a cool morning or as the engine of a deep-winter system, it delivers the efficient moisture management required to keep you dry and comfortable from the trailhead to the summit.

Our Take

The "LT" stands for Lightweight, and that is exactly why this piece earns its spot in our kit. While the standard Kyanite is a cozy powerhouse, it can be too warm for skinning uphill or climbing in shoulder season. The Kyanite LT hits the sweet spot—it feels more like a heavy thermal base layer than a jacket, meaning you can actually move in it without boiling over. We love the "No Slip Zip" because there is nothing more annoying than a zipper that creeps down while you're focused on the route.

Straight From The Source

Why We Love It
Erika Barrett

Our guides consider the Kyanite Lightweight Hoody an essential year-round layering piece because of its perfectly balanced, barely-there weight. The incredibly soft fleece material breathes easily when thrown over a sun hoody for summer rock climbing, yet provides crucial insulation when tucked under a puffy for winter ski tours. This unmatched versatility and completely unrestricted mobility make it a trusted, everyday staple that adapts to any alpine objective.

“"The Kyanite LT is the perfect weight for layering year round. In the summer I throw it on over my sun hoody for climbing, and in the winter it fits perfectly under a puffy while ski touring."

-Erika Barrett”
— Erika Barrett, 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?

Arc'teryx

Arc’teryx has earned its place in alpine operations through decades of producing gear tailored to mountain professionals. At Whittaker Mountaineering, we carry Arc’teryx because when conditions get serious, their build quality, thoughtful design and materials stand up to the most extreme environments we climb in.
