What is the Echo Hooded Jacket?
This streamlined, breathable softshell offers you durable protection from harsh elements when you're challenging yourself on a rocky mountain expedition. Constructed with Exolite fabric for enhanced weather resistance, venture further than ever with the Echo Hooded Jacket.
What is it made of?
Mountain Equipment has crafted this jacket with its durable Exolite 125 stretch double weave. This fabric has been developed and tested to withstand hard-hitting winds whilst offering a breathable, stretchy layer for optimum comfort and manoeuvrability.
What are its features?
Thanks to the brand's attention to detail, this jacket is versatile enough to wear for day-to-day pursuits when the weather is a little rough.
The elasticity of the stretch double weave allows unhindered motion to help you tackle dynamic movements when scrambling through rocks and up steep inclines. Alongside total mobility, the Exolite 125 is windproof and water repellent, offering excellent weather resistance to keep you comfortable in harsh conditions.
The elastane bound Mountain Hood with a rear adjustment offers a more personal fit and extra shelter from the elements. The hood is helmet compatible and is constructed with the same softshell fabric as the rest of the garment for maximum windproof protection, helping to keep the nasty gusts out of your ears!
Sleeves are articulated and pre-shaped to improve freedom of movement, perfect for hitting the rocks at your local crag. The cuffs are elastane bound to allow better flexibility around the wrists for more technical climbing jobs.
At the hem, you will find a dual tethered drawcord for adjustment, to personalise the style and fit whilst helping increase the wind resistance of the design by drawing the hem close.
Two hand pockets provide storage for small items or are handy for keeping your mitts toasty when you're on the move in the winter months.
Additionally, a napoleon chest pocket offers secure storage for more valuable items like a phone, wallet or keys.
Overlocking and top stitching help reinforce seams to finish the design and create a durable, versatile outer layer that you can wear up the mountains or for walking the dog before work.
How does it fit?
The Echo Hooded Jacket has an active fit. It would fit slightly trimmer than a regular jacket to enhance the weather resistant properties and give it a clean looking style.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
Use this jacket as a sturdy outer layer in unsettled conditions for maximum protection against the elements.
