Mountain Equipment says:
A midweight hooded fleece jacket boasting exceptional breathability and fast drying performance.
Allying a custom-developed fabric to a classic hooded jacket design, this is a fleece ideal for year-round use whether backpacking, mountaineering, or climbing.
Our Verdict
Weighing 416g (Medium), the Apiro Hooded Jacket uses a 223 g/m² brushed-back stretch fleece that feels soft, breathable, and quick-drying. The fit is regular, allowing easy layering over a base layer or beneath a shell. The elastane-bound hood sits close to the head without restricting movement, and the flatlocked seams prevent bulk under straps.
Breathability is a real strength, making it comfortable through varying levels of effort, while the fabric dries quickly after sustained exertion. The construction feels solid for its weight, and it handles repeated use under a pack well. Although not designed for rough abrasion, it stands up well to regular mountain wear.
Overall, the Apiro is a dependable mid-layer that works across seasons, offering excellent comfort and versatility for hiking, climbing or everyday outdoor use.
