Alpenglow Pro Hooded Top delivers sun protection and water resistance for alpine adventures
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This hoody is my go-to for sun-soaked climbs and variable mountain weather. The UPF 50+ fabric keeps me protected from harsh rays, while the PFC-free DWR sheds light moisture when the clouds roll in. Plus, the underarm mesh panels and quarter-zip make it super breathable when I’m working hard."
From desert belays to unpredictable alpine weather, the Black Diamond Alpenglow Pro Hooded Top is designed to keep us protected and comfortable in the elements. Its UPF 50+ fabric shields us from harsh sun exposure during long climbs or backcountry missions, while the environmentally friendly Empel™ PFC-free DWR finish adds reliable water resistance to fend off unexpected drizzles.
Built for movement and performance, this top features HeiQ Pure underarm mesh panels that enhance breathability and control odors, so we stay fresh even during multi-day adventures. The elasticized hood fits snugly over a helmet for added protection, and thumb loops keep the sleeves securely in place when layering or reaching high. With a harness-compatible fit, a zippered chest pocket for stashing small essentials, and a quarter-zip for easy venting, the Alpenglow Pro is an essential layer for any mission where the sun and elements are in full force.

Great sunshirt

I wish I got an
I wish I got an xs. I’m always either a sm or xs. 5,6” 125, and the small is pretty loose, but okay. Otherwise it’s perfect. The perfect layer for running in 40-50 degree weather.

Love my Alpenglow Hoody!
It fits perfect, doesn’t show sweat stains and stays fresh. Highly recommend a purchase, I’ll probably buy one in each color!

Comfy and Cool
This is a very comfortable sun sweater. It was surprisingly cool for being a darker color, at least in 60 degree weather. I’ll see how it does when it gets hotter out. The hood is a great size for climbing. The finger holes are great for some hand coverage. The only thing I wish it had is some side pockets. Ordered another one in yellow.

The Perfect Adventure Sun Hoody!
This is going to be my new Go-To for Spring ski touring when it's just a little too warm for a shell but the high altitude requires a high level of sun protection! The zippered front and vented areas are strategically placed! The fit is great and the way the fabric lays is soft and comfortable without being clingy.

Dozens of pills after 1 day of use
I wore this hoody for the first time out climbing yesterday and when I got home noticed dozens of pulls in the fabric and even a small hole from one of them. This type of wear is expected after a whole season - but 1 day??? Bummer. Wish they used more durable fabrics. Maybe a good hiking/backpacking sun hoody, but doesnt hold up on rocks.

Pffff, Heat Wave Shmeat Wave!
So far very happy with this hoodie. It's a bit thicker and heavier fabric than my REI Sahara sun hoodie, but with the zipper and the pit vents, it was still comfortable in the recent California heat wave. Also, it added a bit of warmth at night, which was unexpected. I usually wear a men's small, but went for the women's cut this time, and it fits well, not too clingy. We'll see how it wears with time, but so far so good if you're willing to have a bit heavier material for the sun hoodie.

Love it!
Bought this for a 5 day fast packing trip and loved it. Lightweight and breathable (with mesh armpits), and loved the yellow color. I especially love the quarter zip, as it allows me to zip the hood over my head/hat, and it stays there while I run. Would buy again!

Love this
Wore this to keep covered from mosquitoes while working, it has thumb holes, very comfortable. Kept me very covered and actually warm at night.
