Climbing Heritage
Inspired by the originals.
Inspired by Mountain Equipment's original pile fleeces of the 1970s and 80s, the Highpile collection looks back to the golden age of Himalayan climbing while bringing high-loft fleece performance up to date for modern mountain and everyday use.
Made from 100% recycled post-consumer material, Highpile fleece is soft, stretchy and highly breathable with excellent moisture-wicking performance. Explore Highpile at Countryside Ski & Climb.
