{"product_id":"mountain-equipment-switch-mens-vest","title":"Mountain Equipment Switch Men's Vest","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hybrid vest with an insulated front and low-profile grid fleece back for fast moving mountain sports. Worn over a base layer during cardio sessions above the tree line or as part of a layering system on long ski tours, the Switch Vest is a low-profile layer for fast-moving mountain sports. It can wick away moisture during strenuous uphill efforts and provide valuable core warmth and wind protection when the pace slows, allowing you to focus on the task at hand, not swapping layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInnovative Active Insulation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing a combination of innovative Octayarn warp-knit lining, lightweight stretch-woven nylon outer and Pontetorto Tecnostretch fleece, the Switch Vest provides a versatile layer of active insulation for alpinists, climbers and ski mountaineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the microscope, the Octayarn lining is made from hollow, multidentate fibres, with each individual fibre having eight protruding cog-like teeth. This complex 3D structure increases surface area and traps warm air, improving warmth and moisture-wicking capability while reducing overall weight. Octayarn offers the thickness of an 80 denier fibre but for half the weight and considerably less bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven in a highly breathable warp-knit and without an inner face fabric, the Octayarn across the front of the vest offers unparalleled moisture transfer, keeping you comfortable when working hard, particularly on technical or steep terrain where constantly switching layers is not convenient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lightweight, stretch-woven outer offers wind resistance and PFAS-free water repellency across the front of the vest, protecting you from light rain, spin drift and cold winds. Bluesign-approved Pontetorto Tecnostretch fleece across the back and sides ensures a low-profile, neat fit and prevents overheating. Crafted at a family-run fabric mill in Italy, this highly technical, low-bulk stretch fleece is Mountain Equipment's highest-performing fleece fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight 20D RS Nylon outer fabric, wind resistant with mechanical stretch and PFAS-free DWR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctayarn warp-knit lining for exceptional insulation, breathability and comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePontetorto Tecnostretch 187 fleece in the back and side panels for increased breathability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatterning and Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive fit for complete freedom of movement with no excess fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlatlocked seams throughout for increased next-to-skin comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePockets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 zipped hand pockets, sit high enough for use with a harness or rucksack waistbelt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 zipped chest pockets for essentials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacks into hand pocket with twin carabiner carry loops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentre Front Zip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYKK centre front zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArmholes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElasticated armholes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow bulk elastane bound hem, sits comfortably under a harness or rucksack waistbelt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003e190 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOuter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003e20D RS Nylon, 100% Polyamide, wind resistant, mechanical stretch, PFAS-free DWR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLining\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003eOctayarn warp-knit, 52% recycled polyester, 48% polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePanels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003ePontetorto Tecnostretch 187, 92% recycled polyester, 8% elastane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003eS, M, L, XL, XXL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003eDusk\/Cosmos, Pine\/Fern, Anvil Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpine climbing and ski touring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-output mountain sports in cool conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as an active mid-layer under hard or soft shell jackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast and light missions and multi-day objectives in cold conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1264\/3521\/files\/Octayarn_5a1c19a8-57bc-4d61-aa7b-bf2bb17d1053.jpg?v=1727675218\" alt=\"Octayarn active insulation fabric logo\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%; vertical-align: middle;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOctayarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOctayarn is a soft, wicking and warm fabric made from a unique cog-like fibre.
