The Shroud Hooded Jacket is a seriously warm fleece layer that’s been designed for cold weather mountaineering, ski-touring and alpine climbing.
A great outer layer in better weather the Shroud also performs perfectly as a fast drying and warm mid-layer in a way that many soft shell jackets won’t, it’s a hugely versatile addition to your cold weather kit.

With climbing and mountaineering in mind the Shroud uses a slim, active fit that still allows some room for base layers.

Cycloknit - Cycloknit blurs the lines between soft shell and technical fleece, combining insulation, wind resistance and comfort for demanding use in cold weather. This patented fleece has been developed by one of Mountain Equipment's Taiwanese partners and combines a densely knitted outer face - akin to a "hard face" - that provides wind, water and abrasion resistance, while a soft high-loft fleece inside provides incredible comfort and warmth. It pushes the limits of what a midlayer is capable of, and whilst it doesn't quite provide the protection of a double-weave soft shell fabric, it does provide a valuable middle ground, keeping out plenty of wind, snow and light rain.
Pontetorto - Pontetorto Technostretch is a range of exceptionally fast drying fleece fabrics with superb warmth and softness.
