Designed as a result of layering feedback from Mountain Equipment's climbing team, the Switch Alpine Jacket can be worn as an outer layer in better conditions, or as an insulation layer when the temperatures drop. The lightweight jacket is highly breathable and fast-drying thanks to its Octayarn warp-knit lining and the 20D RS Nylon outer fabric is wind-resistant and finished with a PFAS-free DWR, providing protection from the elements.

The Mountain HC Hood ensures reliable weather protection even without the added protection from wearing a helmet, whilst the fitted but not restrictive alpine fit does not interfere with your movement on the mountains. Twin carabiner carry loops mean you can attach the packed-away jacket to a carabiner, keeping it securely by your side for whenever that cold breeze blows back in.
