Mountain Equipment Super Oreus Hooded Men's Jacket

Engineered for severe alpine conditions, this double-layer synthetic insulation belay jacket delivers maximum warmth-to-weight, storm protection and packability.

You thought the Oreus was super comfy? Well, the Super Oreus kicks it up a notch. It's twice as warm and twice as comfortable as the standard jacket, perfect for those wintery hikes. Offering warmth beyond its weight and pack size, it'll be an essential part of your kit for alpinism, trekking, and ski touring. Utilising groundbreaking Aertherm insulation, the Super Oreus provides an incredible warmth-to-weight ratio, keeping you cosy and ready to tackle the chilly hike ahead. With a double layer of insulation, the jacket traps heat with ease, keeping you warmer for longer even in the harshest of conditions. The insulation is super packable, taking up little room in your pack when no longer needed, so you still have room for other gear or equipment. Aetherm Insulation is warmer than anything of equivalent weight and breathable, preventing overheating. The jacket's outer layer is made from DRILITE LOFT 10D fabric, which is completely windproof, highly weather-resistant, and extremely light, protecting you against the elements without the bulk. Although lightweight, the jacket is durable, keeping you comfortable and ready for your next adventures. A water-resistant finish shields you from light rain and snow showers, keeping you drier for longer when the weather turns. Using Shoulder Shield Construction, the jacket has a seam-free design that reduces water ingress in exposed areas. An integrated Super Alpine HC insulated hood with Cohaesive cordlocks 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 mountain fit that allows full freedom of movement while allowing room for additional layers underneath. The Oreus features two zipped hand pockets, two chest pockets, and two large internal pockets, providing space and storage for essentials you want to access easily on your hike.
