Mountain Equipment Glace Hooded Men's Top

A light and fast-drying hooded top for sun-baked glacier approaches and south-facing granite walls.

With lightweight, highly wicking fabric and a relaxed hood, Mountain Equipment's Glace Hooded Top provides essential sun protection for extensive rock routes and glaciated afternoon descents. Equally at home under warmer layers during pre-dawn approaches, it's a versatile layer that can be worn all day and is a staple of the Mountain Equipment climbing team.

Cut with a slim fit and using flatlock seams and soft fabric, the Glace is comfortable against the skin and beneath a harness, while the relaxed hood can be worn over or under a helmet to provide invaluable shade from the sun's glare. Built-in HeiQ odour-neutralising technology helps keep wearers feeling fresh over multiple days, earning the Glace a place on any big trip or expedition. As a by-product of the food industry, HeiQ technology is bluesign® approved and one of the most environmentally promising approaches to fabric odour control currently available.
