Size guide and measurements

A game changer of a layer: lightweight fabric with a hood and thumb loops adds skin coverage on sun baked rock or glaciers - and delays the need to put on your mid layer as the wind picks up or the temperature dips.

Super soft and fast wicking to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the day, with hidden thumb loops when you need them. The hood has a cunning opening at the back to free your pony-tail, and a small zipped pocket keeps your energy gel or high factor sunblock accessible at all times.

Key features

  • Dual-structure polyester with permanent wicking performance
  • SILVERPLUS® treatment prevents odour build-up
  • Hood with rear opening for a ponytail
  • Concealed thumb loops, there when you need them
  • Hidden zipped pocket, accessible under a harness or pack
  • Flatlock seams throughout for zero chafing
  • Underarm gussets for ease of movement
  • Shaped for active women
  • UPF 15+ sun protection
Fabric and technology

Our Soltera fabric is a silky-soft polyester with a different knit structure on the outside to the inside, which moves moisture away from your skin. Because that behaviour comes from how the fabric is made, the wicking performance is permanent - it won't wash out after a season.

The fabric carries a SILVERPLUS® treatment, which prevents odour building up and means you can wear it for longer between washes. That's useful on multi-day trips, and better for the garment too - washing is what wears clothes out.
Specification
  • Fabric: 100% polyester, 105gsm
  • Made in: Portugal
Fit

Fitted up top, looser through the waist and hem for comfort and air flow.
Why we made this

Too many women's baselayers aren’t made with active women’s bodies in mind: too narrow across the shoulders, short in the sleeve or body, and quick to ride up the moment you reach overhead.

We wanted one patterned from how women actually move. That means room across the back for the muscles you build climbing and carrying a pack. Underarm gussets, so the hem stays where you put it when you reach above your head and no seams to rub all day.

Soltera is the baselayer we wanted and couldn't buy.
Care and aftercare
  • Wash at 40°C with similar colours
  • Hang dry, do not tumble dry
  • Iron on low if you really want to
FAQs

How does the sizing come up?

Fitted through the upper body but with room for athletic shoulders, and looser in the lower body for comfort and air flow. If you prefer a more relaxed fit around the armpit, you might consider sizing up.

Can I wear it on its own?

Absolutely, that's what it's designed for. But you can also wear a slim fitting layer underneath if you want. We've even worn the Soltera Tee under the Hoody for extra flexibility.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

It will squeeze over, but we didn't want to make it so big that it stopped working well without one.

What's the hole in the back of the hood for?

So you can post a ponytail through and stop your hair tickling down the back of your neck.

Does the pocket fit a phone?

No, and that's deliberate. The fabric is very light and a phone's weight would pull it out of shape. It's sized for small things: an energy gel or some sweets, your sun cream or a high-factor lip balm.

Does the fabric feel plasticky?

No. We spent a long time hunting for a soft, non-sweaty polyester that doesn't cling to your skin.

Is the light colour see-through?

No. We checked it against our darkest black sports bra and you can't see a thing.

Does the wicking wash out over time?

No. The moisture-moving behaviour comes from the knit structure itself rather than a coating, so it is permanent. It won't fade after a season.

Great top, would recommend!

"I took this top to lead my group in the Atlas Mountains. The hoodie was perfect. It stopped me from getting burnt and was cool and lightweight to wear. I like the fact it had a hole for my hair to go through in the hood, which made it comfortable. Ronnie was very knowledgeable and helpful to speak to. She creates tops from personal experience and understands what is needed on the mountain to make your journey as smooth as possible."
