Lightweight protection for exposed mountain routes

The Mountain Equipment Arrow Hooded Women's Jacket is a lightweight technical layer designed for climbers and mountaineers tackling alpine ridges, multi-pitch rock routes, and exposed mountain terrain. Built with 182g/m² double weave fabric with a lofted inner face, it balances wind resistance, moisture management, and stretch mobility while remaining more protective than a lightweight fleece and more comfortable than a traditional softshell. Designed for fast-moving mountain use, it performs equally well during long approaches, technical pitches, and exposed belays.

Performance & Engineering

• Double Weave Performance Fabric – Engineered with 182g/m² double weave fabric with a lofted inner face to provide dependable wind resistance, breathable warmth, and effective moisture management during demanding climbs and mountain approaches.
• PFAS-Free DWR Protection – Built with a PFAS-free durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that sheds light moisture and helps maintain comfort when conditions become damp or change rapidly.
• Mountain Hood Design – Equipped with an elastane-bound Mountain Hood that delivers added protection from wind and weather whilst maintaining a streamlined fit for active mountain movement.
• Climbing-Focused Storage – Designed with two zipped hand pockets and one zipped chest pocket to keep essential items secure and accessible whether wearing a harness or carrying a pack.
• Slim Active Fit – Features a slim fit, coverstitched seams, adjustable hem drawcords, and a YKK® centre front zip to maximise freedom of movement, layering efficiency, and all-day comfort on technical terrain.

Care & Longevity

Regular cleaning helps preserve breathability and moisture management, whilst appropriate reproofing can help maintain water repellency over time. Do not use care methods that conflict with the manufacturer's instructions.
