Description

Mountain days are full of contrasts: freezing nights turn into warm mornings, and calm trails become exposed, wind-battered ridges. The Switch Pro Hooded Jacket is made to handle these shifts, keeping you comfortable whether you're sweating on a steep ascent or bracing against the cold at a windy rest stop. It balances moisture-wicking and heat retention, so you stay focused on the adventure, not on constantly changing layers.

 

Innovative Active Insulation

At the core of the Switch Pro is the Octayarn Warp-knit lining, a lightweight, breathable alternative to standard fleece. Its unique design, featuring eight-sided fibres, maximises surface area to trap heat and wick away moisture, offering warmth without extra bulk. The Octayarn fabric moves moisture quickly, keeping you dry during intense climbs and minimising the need to swap layers.

To prevent sticking when layering, the Octayarn lining is reversed in the arms, maintaining insulation while allowing smooth movement. The jacket's lightweight, stretch-woven outer layer adds wind resistance and repels light rain, while Pontetorto® Tecnostretch fleece panels, sourced from a family-run mill in Italy, improve the fit and flexibility. These panels also prevent overheating and reduce bulk, making this jacket ideal for active use on challenging terrain.

 

A Cold-Weather Essential

The Switch Pro Hooded Jacket offers the best active insulation in the range, making it the go-to choice for cold-weather adventures. Lightweight, packable, and warm, it’s a must-have for fast-paced missions and multi-day trips in unpredictable conditions.

  • The interior features Octayarn warp-knit lining, providing outstanding insulation, breathability, and next-to-skin comfort.
  • Pontetorto® Tecnostretch 187 fleece is strategically placed under the arms, across the top of the hood, and along the side panels to enhance airflow and ventilation.
