Mountain Equipment Highpile Hooded Women's Fleece Jacket in Allium-Cosmos

Season:AW26

Brand:Mountain Equipment

Code:ME-009008-Me-02327

Inspired by Mountain Equipment's original pile fleeces of the 1970s and 80s, the classic styling of the Highpile Hooded Jacket is a throwback to the golden age of Himalayan climbing.

Soft and warm, and with excellent stretch and wicking properties, it is the ideal mid-layer for mountaineers and walkers needing to beat the cold. With its retro feel, the Highpile Hooded Jacket is at home everywhere, from bare mountain bothies to busy city streets.

The high loft fleece, made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste, is soft, stretchy and comfortable against the skin. Designed for cold-weather conditions, it traps heat efficiently and dries quickly, keeping you warm after an uphill climb.

Durable and weatherproof softshell fabric overlays on the shoulders pay homage to early fleece styles and reinforce areas vulnerable to abrasion and thinning. Zippered handwarmer pockets help thaw frozen fingers, and a snug, grown-on hood adds extra protection on wind-blasted plateaus.

Designed around an Alpine Fit and with excellent stretch, the Highpile Hooded Jacket layers well while allowing for a complete range of movement.

Features:

  • 250g m⁻² high-loft fleece fabric for exceptional warmth
  • EXOLITE 125 soft shell shoulder patches for toughness and wear-resistance
  • Alpine fit for complete freedom of movement with room for layers
  • Elastane-bound hood for added protection from wind and weather
  • Over-locked and top-stitched construction throughout for next-to-skin comfort
  • 2 zipped hand warmer pockets and 1 chest pocket for secure storage
  • YKK® Vislon® centre front zip to vent and layer with ease
  • Elastane-bound cuffs and hem to seal out the wind while adjusting the fit precisely
