Mountain Equipment Oreus Hooded Men's Jacket

A groundbreaking synthetic insulated jacket that's great for alpine pursuits. Built with Aetherm Precision Insulation, the Oreus Jacket provides down-like warmth with the durability and weather resistance of a synthetic fill.

A super cosy, comfortable jacket, the Oreus Jacket is the result of a 5-year development project to produce one of the best mid-weight synthetic products on the market. Highly versatile, the jacket will accompany you on all your future adventures, whether it's hill walking in Scotland or rock climbing on high crags. The jacket is highly versatile, being worn as an outer layer, a super-warm mid-layer or over everything as a lightweight belay jacket. Utilising groundbreaking Aertherm insulation, the Oreus provides an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio, keeping you super cosy and ready to tackle the chilly hike ahead. The insulation is super packable, taking up little room in your pack. Aetherm Precision Insulation is warmer than anything of equivalent weight and breathable, preventing overheating. A heat-reflective layer also boosts warmth. The garment is incredibly lightweight and super breathable thanks to the PLASMA 10D outer fabric with a PFAS-free DWR finish. Highly durable and protective, the garment keeps you comfortable and ready to tackle your next adventures. Water-resistant properties provide protection and shielding in light rain and moist conditions. An integrated Mountain HC Insulated Hood shields you from changing weather and protects from blustery winds; it is fully adjustable and fits over a helmet with ease. For ventilation control and easy on/off, the jacket has a 2-way YKK moulded centre front zip with a rear insulated baffle, which is easy to use even with gloves on. Elasticated cuffs and dual tether hem drawcords prevent windchill while helping adjust the fit. The jacket has a regular fit to maximise thermal efficiency and allow full freedom of movement, and the articulated, pre-shaped sleeves allow for greater mobility. The Oreus features two zipped hand pockets, a chest pocket and an internal drop pocket with twin karabiner carry loops, providing space and storage for essentials you want to access easily on your hike. The internal pocket doubles as a pack pocket, allowing you to tuck it away when not in use.
