Mountain Equipment Fitzroy Men's Jacket

Warm, lightweight, and virtually impervious to wind, rain, or snow, the Fitzroy Jacket is the ultimate all-weather insulator for cold and damp conditions.

Inspired by the harsh Scottish winters and the rapidly changing weather in Patagonia, the Fitzroy Jacket is a must-have for anyone who needs reliable wet or dry insulation in extreme environments.

Designed to be easily thrown over a shell at a freezing belay while navigating a plateau in a whiteout or stopping to refuel, the Fitzroy offers significant insulation without the hassle of undressing to add layers or worrying about getting wet. It's one of the most versatile and resilient jackets available, a reliable companion when the weather changes or the day takes an unexpected turn.

Extensive testing has proven that PrimaLoftⓇ Gold Hi-Loft Ultra insulation with Cross Core™ aerogel technology is the top synthetic fill for this purpose. It remains highly thermally efficient even when wet, dries quickly, and withstands constant packing and unpacking while staying mobile enough for climbing steep pitches or wearing for long periods.

The WINDSTOPPERⓇ shell is completely windproof and highly weatherproof. Paired with the helmet-compatible Mountain HC Hood, the Fitzroy is one of the most protective jackets of its kind.
