Reliable warmth and durability for year-round mountain layering
Mountain Equipment says:
A warm and quick drying fleece jacket that’s perfect for year-round layering in the mountains.
Polartec® Thermal Pro® fabric offers excellent warmth with minimal weight and an impressively fast drying time that makes it an ideal layering piece regardless of the forecast. The Litmus works perfectly under a waterproof once the rain starts to fall.
Our Verdict
The Mountain Equipment Litmus Jacket is a go-to, do-anything fleece for full year-round use on and off the hills. Nothing fancy, just consistent warmth and comfort that performs in all conditions.
Weighing 433 g (Medium), it uses a dense Polartec Thermal Pro fleece with a textured outer face that resists abrasion and a soft brushed interior that traps heat while drying quickly. The fit is trim but allows full reach and easy layering under a waterproof. The jacket feels structured and stable, with well-placed pockets and neat, low-bulk seams.
For those seeking a dependable fleece with lasting durability and balanced thermal performance, the Litmus Jacket stands out as a versatile, hard-working layer suited to everything from daily wear to demanding mountain use.
