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, the 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 you’ll wear all day and is a staple of Mountain Equipment's 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 you 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.

HeiQ Fresh - Uses an odour neutralising compound derived from sugar which binds to molecules which smell. This is one of the most effective ways to prevent odour buildup in garments, and unlike silver-based treatments it 'attacks' the actual molecules which smell, rather than the bacteria which cause the buildup of those molecules. As such it has no environmental concerns and , produced as a by-product of the food industry, is one of the least harmful approaches to odour control that there is.
