The Mont Guide Hoodie for Men is a lightweight, bulk-free insulating layer perfect for cold/wet conditions.
Mont Adventure Equipment says:
The Mont Guide Hoodie for Men is a lightweight, bulk-free insulating layer perfect for cold/wet conditions. Primaloft® Gold 60 synthetic insulation is highly breathable, absorbs less than 1% moisture and is extremely compact.
The Guide Hoodie is made with the same advanced Hydronaute XT™ membrane as our top-end expedition down jackets. By using Hydronaute XT, a waterproof rip-stop fabric, the Guide Hoodie has much greater protection from precipitation. In temporary, light precipitation the Guide Hoodie will function effectively as an outer layer. Hydronaute XT fabric, as well as being waterproof, is 100% windproof.
Hydronaute XT fabric is far more than just breathable: by actively removing perspiration while keeping out exterior moisture, Hydronaute XT enhances the performance of the Primaloft Gold by keeping it dryer. In cold, wet and windy conditions, Hydronaute XT and Primaloft Gold are the perfect combination to keep you warmer, dryer and more comfortable.
The double-ended YKK locking zip on the Guide Hoodie does not slip and can be easily operated with just one hand. By using a double ended zipper the bottom can be opened up for ventilation and to increase functionality, particularly when climbing or belaying.
An insulated and adjustable hood with elasticised facing, zippered hand warmer pockets, an internal zippered breast pocket and hem and cuff adjustments complete the Guide Hoodie.
