Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Equipment Highpile Half-Zip is a high-performance midlayer engineered for adults seeking superior warmth during cold-weather alpine pursuits or everyday winter outings. Constructed from 250g high-loft fleece, it offers a perfect balance of thermal insulation and breathability, though its specialized alpine fit may feel restrictive if you prefer a looser, relaxed silhouette.

FAQs
Is this fleece windproof?
While the high-loft fleece provides warmth, it is permeable to air for breathability. Use an outer shell for full wind protection.
Can I wear this as an outer layer?
Yes, it is suitable as an outer layer in dry, cold conditions, though it is not waterproof.
How should this fit?
It features an alpine fit, meaning it should sit close to the body to function efficiently as a midlayer.
What is the best way to clean the fleece?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and do not iron.
Is the pocket large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the Napoleon chest pocket is designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and small navigation tools.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder fabric shows signs of pilling
Use a specialized fabric shaver to carefully remove pilling, though the EXOLITE overlay is designed to resist this wear compared to standard fleece.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the zipper track; if it remains stiff, clean any grit from the teeth using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Highpile Half-Zip, follow these care instructions: wash in cold water using a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the breathability and loft of the fleece fibers. Air drying is recommended to maintain the structural integrity of the high-loft fleece and the stretch soft shell overlays. Because of its alpine fit, this garment is best paired with a technical base layer underneath and a waterproof shell jacket on top to maximize the effectiveness of the layering system.
