Wind-resistant warmth for mountain movement

The Mountain Equipment Durian Hooded Men's Jacket is a versatile midweight fleece designed for mountaineers and ski tourers who need warmth, breathability, and weather protection in a single layer. Built with 270g/m² microgrid stretch fleece with a hardface outer, it bridges the gap between a traditional fleece and a soft shell, offering excellent wind resistance, moisture management, and comfort during high-output mountain activities. Made with 94% recycled polyester, it provides a lower-impact option without compromising performance in demanding environments.
