What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I like that this hoodie feels genuinely cool in hot weather. The fabric breathes incredibly well, and the mosquito protection works without any chemical smell or stiffness."Midsummer trails and open granite slabs feel more manageable when the Royal Robbins Salathé Sun Hoodie shields us from harsh sun and persistent insects. The lightweight, ultrabreathable fabric moves easily as the day warms, and the relaxed fit with extended shoulders keeps our range of motion open during scrambles or long approaches. A hood with an elastic brim stays put in breezy conditions, giving us added coverage without distraction. Royal Robbins integrates Mosquito Protection Technology™ to block bites without chemical treatments, and the UPF 40+ fabric boosts confidence when hours of sun exposure are part of the plan. Elasticated cuffs, a drawcord hem, and a half-zip design help fine-tune airflow and fit across shifting temperatures. Whether we’re hiking, traveling, or covering ground near the water, the Salathé Sun Hoodie offers dependable protection in a featherlight package.
