title: Description content: | 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. - title: Features content: | Neck protection & built-in face veil 145gsm honeycomb fabric 125gsm mesh vent underarm Bamboo charcoal infused Moisture wicking Quick-drying Cooling properties Highly breathable Odour-resistant Antimicrobial properties Comfortable relaxed fit UV protection Ideal under garment - title: 'Size & Fit' content: | Natalya is 165cm (5'5) and wears a size S Michael is 183cm (6'0) and wears a size L Slim performance fit Size guide is available to view above size options - title: Bamboo Charcoal Fabric content: | Bamboo charcoal fabric is made by drying and burning bamboo plants in an oven at temperatures above 800°C. The charcoal is further processed into nanoparticles, which are embedded into polyester fibres. The result is a technical fabric that offers excellent moisture and temperature regulation, as well as the natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of bamboo. The unique composition of the fabric means it’s breathable and quick-drying in the summer and provides insulation in the winter. Pretty impressive, right? We think so. Cooling/Thermal Properties The tiny bamboo charcoal nanoparticles are highly porous, which allows air and moisture to easily pass through the fabric. This means when the body heats up and starts to sweat, the moisture is absorbed by the fabric and transported away from the skin. As the moisture evaporates, heat is released, cooling the air between your skin and the fabric. The breathable micro-gaps in the nanoparticles also allow hot air to escape, keeping you fresh for longer. In cooler weather, the moisture wicking properties of bamboo charcoal fabric actually help to keep you warmer by preventing sweat from cooling against the skin. # Size guide size_guide_url: https://images.ctfassets.net/vqzddtz845zg/6CDjVuQ5QWbvFThdvmgUX0/37101e20eda5d4880c26de3c96d31c9d/apex_hood.png # Schema json_ld: true --- # Apex Hood Base Layer > When conditions demand extra coverage without added weight.
