Mountain Equipment says:
A warm, high loft hooded fleece for winter
mountains and everyday layering.
With exceptionally warm 250g high loft fleece fabric and Exolite soft shell overlays the Highpile Hooded Jacket is the ideal mid-layer for cold and challenging mountain conditions. A grown-on hood adds extra protection on wind blasted plateaus.
Our Verdict
The Mountain Equipment Highpile Hooded Jacket combines vintage-inspired style with functionality, delivering exceptional warmth and comfort for winter mountain adventures.
Constructed from 100% recycled 250g/m² high-loft fleece, this jacket excels at trapping heat, making it ideal for cold conditions. Adding EXOLITE 125 soft shell overlays on the shoulders and elbows enhances durability, particularly when carrying a rucksack or navigating rugged terrain. Its Alpine fit, pre-shaped sleeves, and elastane-bound hood ensure it layers well and moves with you, offering comfort without restricting mobility.
Practical features include two zipped handwarmer pockets and a top-stitched construction that minimises irritation during extended wear. Weighing 489g for a medium, the jacket strikes a good balance between warmth and packability.
