Mountain Equipment Highpile Hooded Men's Jacket

Inspired by our 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 when budgets were small, and ambition was high.

This jacket from Mountain Equipment is soft and warm, providing excellent stretch and wicking properties, making it an ideal mid-layer for mountaineers and walkers alike. With its retro feel, the Highpile Hooded Jacket is at home everywhere, from bare mountain bothies to busy city streets. Made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste, this high-loft fleece traps heat in small air pockets, storing heat efficiently, while drying quickly, keeping you warm and cosy after an uphill climb. Durable EXOLITE 125 softshell fabric overlays on the shoulders and elbows are treated with a DWR (Durable Water Resistant), paying homage to Mountain Equipment's early fleece styles and reinforcing areas vulnerable to abrasion and thinning. Two zippered handwarmer pockets keep hands warm, while providing space to stash your essentials, and a zippered chest pocket increases storage space. A snug grown-on hood and elasticated cuffs offer a warm seal, adding extra protection on wind-blasted plateaus. Overlocked and top-stitched construction throughout reduces chafing for increased next-to-skin comfort. Designed around our Alpine Fit and with excellent stretch, the Highpile Hooded Jacket layers well while allowing for a complete range of movement.
