Mountain Equipment Aiguille Hooded Men's Top

Mountain Equipment's Aiguille Hooded Men's Top is a versatile stretch hooded top for keeping the sun and wind at bay. From the sea-sprayed cliffs of Pabbay to the iconic spires of Patagonia and golden Chamonix granite, it is a quick-drying and breathable technical layer for long mountain days.

The durable 175 g/m² stretch jersey fabric offers good abrasion resistance and some wind protection on belays or ridgelines. The soft fabric ensures next-to-skin comfort and efficient moisture management during demanding approaches, run-out cruxes and alpine tours. The high neck and close-fitting hood provide invaluable sun protection on glacier approaches or south-facing walls, and the double-layer cuffs with integrated thumb loops offer extra warmth at windswept belays.

With a slim fit, the Aiguille layers well beneath a shell or insulating layer, fitting neatly under a harness without bagging out and obscuring access to crucial protection.
