behind the lens:

When most people think of mountaineering, they picture the full body down suits worn at the summit of Everest. But the reality of climbing on smaller mountains, is that things can warm up pretty quickly when moving uphill.

That’s why Bight Gear created the Solstice Graphene Hoody, designed to protect from the sun, wick moisture, and reduce odor. From hiking, climbing, and scrambling several miles with thousands of feet of elevation gain, we not only captured the imagery for this new layer, but actually got to experience the shirt at work throughout the day.

This project made it quite clear why this technical hoody should be an essential piece of your kit.
