The Mountain Equipment Highpile Jacket is a high-performance midlayer designed for adult men who need reliable warmth during cold-weather expeditions or chilly everyday commutes. Featuring a 250g high loft fleece and durable soft shell overlays, it offers an excellent balance of thermal retention and mobility, though its athletic alpine fit means those preferring a looser, casual look may need to consider sizing up.

No, it is designed for warmth and insulation. The soft shell overlays offer limited wind and weather resistance, but it should be worn under a hardshell jacket in heavy rain or snow.
An alpine fit is a trimmer, athletic cut designed to move with your body during active pursuits. It reduces excess bulk, making it easier to layer under outer shells.
Yes, it functions well as an outer layer in dry, cold conditions. However, in high winds, you may experience airflow through the fleece sections.
The jacket is equipped with a durable YKK moulded centre front zip, known for its reliability in cold temperatures.
The jacket weighs approximately 450g, making it a versatile choice for lightweight mountain kits.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it continues to stick, lightly rub a graphite pencil tip or specialized zipper lubricant along the YKK teeth.
High-loft fleece can 'mat' over time. A gentle brush with a soft-bristle garment brush can help restore the loft and trapped air pockets.
To maintain the longevity of the fleece and its soft shell overlays, wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Always ensure all zippers are closed before laundering to protect the teeth. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the performance of the fleece fibers and the water-resistant finish of the soft shell panels. For drying, air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the elastane components. When layering, this piece is best worn over a moisture-wicking base layer and under a waterproof shell to maximize its thermal efficiency in harsh conditions.
