Ideal for warm & dry conditions

The Apex Hood Base Layer takes everything people love about our bamboo charcoal-infused honeycomb fabric and adds the major advantage of full head and neck protection. Built for long, exposed days in the sun, this technical layer keeps you cool, dry and comfortable through heat, humidity and hard work. The breathable fabric naturally wicks moisture, regulates temperature and resists odour, making it ideal for high-output adventures.

The streamlined hood offers extra UV protection over your head, ears and neck without feeling heavy or restrictive. The hood also features a built-in face veil, giving you discreet face coverage when stalking through scrub. Four-way stretch mesh underarm panels boost airflow and mobility, allowing you to move freely. It’s the piece you’ll reach for on any adventure where protection and comfort matter.

The Apex range is designed as a next-to-skin base layer with a slim, performance fit. If you prefer a more relaxed or regular fit, we recommend sizing up. Also available in a tee, long-sleeve crew and quarter-zip top.
