Mountain Equipment Switch Pro Hooded Men's Jacket

From frozen nights thaw to sun-drenched mornings, sheltered paths turn to bare windward flanks and the chill of exposed stance counters uphill burns. The highly breathable Switch Pro Hooded Jacket is built to cope with the changing demands of fast-paced activity in the mountains, where efficient body temperature regulation is a priority. It can both wick away moisture on strenuous uphill legs and retain warmth at wind-ravaged belays; it helps you keep moving and focusing on the task at hand.

The Switch Pro Hooded Jacket, made from a lightweight 20D RS Nylon outer fabric, boasts wind-resistant properties and a DWR finish, offering protection against wind and water in unpredictable weather conditions. The materials are designed with a mechanical stretch structure, ensuring a full range of movement during your next adventure. The jacket features an Octayarn Warp-Knit lining, which is an exceptionally comfortable and lightweight polyester fleece fabric. This material boasts high-wicking properties, ensuring you remain cosy during long adventures. A full-length YKK front zip assists in putting the jacket on and off, and can also be used to help regulate ventilation. The fleece is smooth and soft against the skin, minimising the risk of irritation or chafing, while also being breathable to help prevent overheating. Flatlock seams contribute to an irritation- and chafe-free experience, helping to prevent discomfort during extensive movement. Additionally, the Pontetorto Tecnostretch fleece fabric is incorporated in the underarms, along the top of the hood, and at the side panels, allowing for a full range of movement and enhanced comfort while navigating mountainous terrain. Elasticated cuffs and hem provide you with coverage from the changing weather, and a semi-elastic hem prevents wind chill from occurring. The Switch Pro has two zippered hand warmer pockets and one Napoleon chest pocket to provide you with space to store and stash any essentials you want to have on hand. Additionally, the jacket packs away discreetly into its pocket for easy transportation when not in use.
