Adaptive protection for technical climbing

The Mountain Equipment Arrow Men's Zip T is a lightweight technical mid layer designed for rock climbers and alpine mountaineers who need warmth, breathability, and wind resistance without the bulk of a soft shell. Built from 182g/m² double weave fabric with a lofted inner face, it combines efficient moisture management with reliable protection on exposed terrain. Designed for long multi-pitch routes, alpine objectives, and demanding approaches, it delivers unrestricted movement and all-day comfort on technical ground.

Performance & Engineering

• Double Weave Mountain Fabric – Engineered with 182g/m² double weave fabric and a lofted inner face to provide wind resistance, warmth, and highly effective moisture management during sustained mountain movement.
• Active Fit Construction – Built with an Active Fit that minimises excess material and layers neatly beneath a harness whilst maintaining complete freedom of movement when climbing.
• Deep Quarter Zip Ventilation – Designed with a YKK® deep centre front quarter zip that allows rapid heat and moisture regulation during demanding approaches and steep ascents.
• Lofted Inner Face Technology – Utilises a lofted inner construction to wick moisture away from the body whilst adding valuable warmth during exposed belays and changing mountain conditions.
• Climber-Focused Storage – Equipped with a Napoleon chest pocket that keeps essential items secure and easily accessible when wearing a harness or pack.
