UOG TOP PICK - Extrem MTN Arete LB Synthetic Hoody is the lightest Synthetic jacket we currently do. Because of this and its unique reversible design, we have singled this out as one of our favourite jackets of the season. 

Berghaus says: 

The Men's MTN Arete LB Synthetic Hoody is lightweight, breathable, synthetically insulated and extremely packable. Its reversible nature means you can wear a windproof outer to keep chilly breezes at bay, or wear that fabric next to your baselayer and have a more permeable outer that enhances breathability when you’re working hard. Versatile warmth without bulk, or unnecessary weight. When you know you should take an insulated piece with you, but worry about weight or bulk, there’s no need to hesitate when the garment is this light.

Our Verdict

The Mountain Arete LB Synthetic Hoody is the lightest weight member of Berghaus' newly re-introduced Extrem range. It is a very versatile jacket and one of the lightest synthetic jackets on the market.

The main thing that stands out about the Arete LB is that it is reversible, offering two jackets in one. This makes it more versatile than your typical synthetic jacket. One side is a windproof layer that protects you from harsh winds while keeping you insulated. The other side has a more breathable fabric that allows the wind to pass through, cooling you down when exerting yourself.

This dual function makes the Arete LB the perfect jacket for various outdoor pursuits. The windproof side is ideal for use on the bike or as a lightweight mid-layer. The breathable side is perfect when you need to move fast on a winter trail run or a fast ascent.

Overall, the Arete LB has a looser fit than you may expect. This works well, as it leaves space for winter layering. This allows you to wear a base layer, a mid-layer, and an outer layer without feeling constricted.

The Arete LB has a variety of uses and, given its weight, is perfect to always keep in your bag no matter what the season or activity. It is undoubtedly a step forward in synthetic jackets.
