Mountain Equipment Durian Hooded Women's Jacket

A midweight, hardface fleece that balances warmth, breathability and protection during ski touring and mountaineering. The strength of the Durian Hooded Fleece lies in its adaptability: warm, wicking and highly wind resistant, it holds its own as an outer during a high-energy ski tour and as a mid-layer during long days in changeable conditions. By bridging the gap between a fleece and a soft shell jacket, it offers an elegant alternative to multiple layers for those who value simplicity.

The Durian uses 270 g/m² microgrid fleece, with a soft and highly wicking inner face and a densely woven, resistant outer face. The hard outer face adds significant wind resistance and keeps light snow and spindrift at bay, while the soft inner face keeps you warm and comfortable all day, even when you're working hard. The elastane-bound hood provides additional protection from the elements, and reinforced thumb loops stop the sleeves riding up when reaching for holds or pulling on gloves.

The full front zip allows you to dump heat when working hard, while the Active Fit reduces excess material, keeping the fleece neat beneath a harness and allowing for effective layering without jeopardising freedom of movement. Made from 94% recycled polyester derived from old plastic bottles, the Durian requires less energy and fewer resources in its production than virgin polyester and diverts plastic from landfill.
