What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This is my go-to for high-alpine approaches and sunny ridge scrambles. The fabric feels cool even under a pack, and the hood stays put in the wind. I especially love the high collar and built-in thumbholes—they keep me covered without feeling bulky."We chase long objectives under big skies, and the Black Diamond Alpenglow Pro Hooded Top is made for exactly that. Built with BD.cool mineral-based tech, this sun hoody reflects heat and keeps us cool when we’re moving under intense solar exposure. The UPF 50+ protection gives us full-coverage confidence for full days outside.The quarter-zip design lets us vent on the climb, and the stretch-woven panels add mobility where we need it most. The fitted hood layers comfortably under a helmet, while thumbholes and a drop-tail hem keep everything in place when we’re on the move. For alpine starts, mid-day scrambles, or desert climbs, the Alpenglow Pro is always in our pack.
