Breathable warmth with extra weather coverage

The Mountain Equipment Alta Via Hooded Men's Jacket is a lightweight mid layer built for hikers seeking breathable warmth, unrestricted movement, and the added protection of an integrated hood. Engineered with 193g/m² stretch waffle fabric made from 100% recycled polyamide, it balances next-to-skin comfort with efficient layering performance when conditions become cooler or windier. Designed for hiking and general outdoor use, its versatile construction works equally well as a standalone layer or beneath a shell, while the hood provides additional coverage on exposed trails.
