هودي ميراج ميرينو للشمس

The merino fabric kept me cool on exposed ridges and was somehow still warm during a chilly descent, which is exactly what I hoped for after reading about those 3,000 trail miles. My only worry was snagging it on brush, but after three days of scrambling it looks brand new.

Took this on a week-long alpine trek and its UPF rating made a real difference above tree line—my neck didn’t burn once. The merino wool breathes so much better than the synthetic sun shirts I’ve worn before, and it doesn’t stink after days of hiking.

After 300 miles on the Arizona Trail, this hoody still looks and feels new. The merino wool is surprisingly breathable under a pack strap, and the thumb loops keep sleeves from riding up when I'm scrambling.
