What is the Eclipse Hooded Zip-T?
The Eclipse Hooded Zip-T from M.E. is a fabulous mid-layer that feels at home in just about any outdoor scenario; layer it up for extra warmth when you're out in the mountains in rubbish weather, or wear it on its own on a nippy bluebird day. It's extremely fast drying, easy to care for and weighs just 290g, making it an ideal companion to your kit collection no matter what activity you're getting up to.
What is it made of?
The Eclipse is made using Pontetorto Technostretch 187. This is a lightweight, stretchy, breathable gridded fleece fabric that's ideal for active, fast-paced use. Mountain Equipment have then given this fabric a Polygiene anti-microbial coating to resist the build-up of bad odours, allowing you to wear the Eclipse for multi-day excursions without it needing a wash.
What are its features?
To further add to its 'do-it-all' capabilities, the stretchy close-fitting hood, with an offset zip (to keep a potentially cold zip off your face) fits exceptionally well under a helmet and coverstitchedseams throughout ensure great next-to-skin comfort. There's a zipped Napoleon pocket with a mesh back to secure a phone or a couple of energy gels whilst the full YKK zip in the front allows you to easily regulate your body temperature. The jacket also features low bulk cuffs with integratedthumb loops which perfectly ties this piece together and makes it the ideal, low bulk option for all of your outdoor adventures.
