The classic design of the Highpile Hooded Jacket is inspired by Mountain Equipment's original fleece jackets from the 1970s and 80s. It harks back to the golden age of Himalayan climbing, when budgets were small and ambition was high. The Highpile is soft and warm, very stretchy and offers excellent moisture management. This makes it an ideal mid-layer for mountaineers and hikers who want to brave the cold. With its retro look, the Highpile Hooded Jacket is at home anywhere, from bare mountain huts to busy city streets.
The high-pile Fleece is made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste. It is soft, stretchy and comfortable against the skin. It also retains heat effectively and dries quickly.
The shoulders and elbows are reinforced with weatherproof Softshell to protect against abrasion - a tribute to our first Fleece. Zippered slit pockets warm icy hands and the close-fitting hood provides additional protection against wind and cold.
The Alpine Fit and excellent stretch ensure unrestricted freedom of movement, which also works in a layering system. The Highpile Hooded Jacket is the right choice for cold, demanding conditions on the mountain.
