Above: Men’s Summit Sun Hoodie (first) and Women’s Summit Sun Hoodie (Second), designed to manage solar load and heat stress during sustained movement in hot, exposed operational environments. Beyond Clothing’s Summit Sun Hoodie is a lightweight exposuremanagement layer designed for warmweather and alpine operations where prolonged sun exposure, sweat accumulation, and heat retention can directly impact operator endurance and effectiveness.
