Ultralight merino wool sun hoody/baselayer.
Ultralight merino wool sun hoody/baselayer.
Duckworth's Vapor Hoody is the perfect lightweight, 4-season Merino layer for people constantly on the move.
Our Vapor Hoody begins with natural, Montana-grown Merino Wool that's then spun and knit into our proprietary Vapor Wool fabric blend. Vapor Wool combines three different fibers to create a garment that is lightweight, soft, cooling, antimicrobial (odor-free), moisture-wicking and ultra-fast-drying.
It's perfect as a baselayer during high-exertion winter activities or as a sun hoody that keeps sun off the skin (UPF-50) and the body cool when worn solo in the heat. Featuring a loose-fit hood, this versatile Merino Wool hoody was born in the Montana backcountry and has been performance tested in environments from Arizona to Alaska.
American-made with Montana wool.
NEW FOR 2026: The vapor collection now features an updated vortex-spun yarn construction designed for greater durability, reduced pilling, and longer-lasting performance. This improvement strengthens the fabric while preserving its ultralight breathability and soft feel that continues to improve with wear and washing.

"I just finished the Tahoe 200 ultra marathon. I wore the mens vapor hoodie for the whole 3 1/2 race. It was extremely hot during the day and 50s at night. The hoodie kept me nice and cool and covered in the heat of the day and it also helped keep the mosquitoes off my head at night! I would highly recommend this shirt!"
"I've been wearing the crew neck vapor long sleeve as a winter base layer for years. I sized up on the hoody to wear as a sun shirt for a river trip and it's great, one of my favorite pieces of clothing."
"I love this thing. The women’s were sold out. So I opted to try the men’s. I’m a Medium women’s and purchase Small men’s. For a hoody it’s just fine. So soft and comfortable with the perfect amount of stretch. I have not sweat it in yet, as per the video “directions”."
"Great comfortable layer to take the chill off. Sleeves long enough to keep the sun off too. Would buy again."
"Awesome feel, true to size, comfortable fit and material. Good for cozy wear or outdoor work in the sun."
"My favorite layer for work, hunting. I own two"
"My husband loves it so much we (it’s his daily wear) bought a second one! Now I can convince him to take it off so I can (occasionally, like literally every few months) wash it. Before he literally hated to spend a day without wearing it so I could wash it! Except now on really cold days he insists on wearing both at once🤣"
"Totally impressive very comfortable 5’ 10” 180 lbs large fits excellent, I have to get more for summer I require sun protection. These will work well and I feel stylish for a Idaho resident."
"Im buying all of them"
"Fantastic light weight hoodie. I fish a lot and I have always used synthetics that start to stink or take forever to dry. Ive been a merino wool t shirt guy for years and figured it was time I got more of the best to keep me cool on the water."
