Mountain Equipment Shroud Hooded Men's Fleece Jacket

The Mountain Equipment Shroud Hooded Jacket is a warm technical fleece for cold weather mountaineering, alpine climbing and ski touring. Its 256 g/m² Cycloknit fabric pairs a tightly woven outer surface that resists wind and abrasion and repels snow with a high-loft fleece lining for insulation and moisture management.

Key Features

• 256 g/m² Cycloknit fleece with a plush inner pile and durable outer surface for rapid-drying warmth and wind resistance
• PFAS-free DWR finish
• Active fit engineered for unrestricted movement without excess material
• Grown-on hood with elastane binding for a snug, comfortable fit
• Two zipped hand pockets with concealed zips, plus one zipped chest pocket
• YKK centre front zip
• Low-profile cuffs to minimise bulk, and a hem that sits flat beneath harnesses or rucksack waistbelts

Mountain Equipment positions it as an outer layer in favourable conditions and a fast-drying insulating mid-layer otherwise, and rates it above many soft shell alternatives in that mid-layer role.

Technology

Mountain Equipment is a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, an independent, non-profit organisation that works with brands and factories to improve working conditions for garment workers.

Cycloknit blurs the lines between soft shell and technical fleece, combining insulation, wind resistance and comfort for demanding use in cold weather. A densely knitted outer face provides wind, water and abrasion resistance, while a soft high-loft fleece inside provides incredible comfort and warmth.
