The La Sportiva Men's Cloud Shadow Sun Hoody is a lightweight, technical sun-protection hoody engineered specifically for long multi-pitch routes, exposed cragging days, and high-alpine approaches. Designed to keep you cool and shielded when the Australian sun beats down, this active top delivers UPF 30+ UV protection without trapping body heat or adding weight. Whether you are leading pitches under intense sunshine at Nowra, belaying on exposed sandstone ledges in the Blue Mountains, or logging long alpine approaches, the Cloud Shadow Sun Hoody provides breathable climate control.
Crafted from an ultralight, fast-drying 100% recycled polyester knit fabric, this hoody actively pulls moisture away from your skin during strenuous climbs. The technical crossover hood is shaped to fit comfortably over or under a climbing helmet, extending coverage around your neck, ears, and head. Low-profile thumbholes at the cuffs keep sleeves securely in place during high-reach movements while shielding the backs of your hands, and anti-odour Polygiene® treatment keeps the garment fresh across multi-day trips.
Combating harsh sun exposure without sacrificing mobility, the La Sportiva Men's Cloud Shadow Sun Hoody is an essential layering piece for warm-weather rock climbers, mountaineers, and outdoor athletes.
