What is the Mimic Alert Hoodie?
It's a lightweight, stretchy, insulated jacket designed to keep you warm and comfortable during various high-energy mountain pursuits and outdoor activities in changeable conditions. It's ideal to be worn alone as a protective outer layer in milder climates or beneath additional layers as part of your technical mountain layering system.
What is it made from?
Insulation: The jacket uses Haglof's own Mimic Silver sheet insulation for low-bulk, reliable warmth, even when wet. Mimic Silver is a fantastic synthetic insulation that's incredibly breathable and helps to regulate body temperature, balancing the body's microclimate when working hard. It's made from 100% recycled polyester, which, though recycled, maintains the performance and feel of virgin polyester. Unlike natural down, Mimic Silver can retain heat even when wet, a great all-around choice for active use in unpredictable climates. This sheet insulation can’t migrate, unlike down and thanks to its built-in stretch, it offers excellent flexibility, allowing it to move with you.
Outer: The Mimic Alert is constructed from a durable 30-denier woven ripstop outer, made from 100% recycled polyester. Although this material may feel thin to the touch, it's highly durable whilst being lightweight enough to enhance the jacket's breathability. This helps keep your body temperature more regulated and prevent moisture buildup when you’re working hard.
Lining: Haglofs has lined the jacket with a soft 30-denier woven stretch fabric, which is smooth to the touch, durable and stretchy enough to offer freedom of movement and comfort. The material is made from polyester, 75% of which is recycled. This low bulk and breathable fabric sits neatly inside the jacket without adding too much additional weight or affecting pack size.
The face fabric and lining are finished with a PFC-Free DWR (durable water repellent) to resist light rain or snow, although please note that this doesn't make it fully waterproof. PFC-free DWRs are much more responsible than regular water-repellent treatments, as they don't use harmful forever chemicals that cause damage to the environment and ecosystems.
Other fabrics: The pockets are lined with a super soft knitted brushed tricot lining made from recycled polyester for next-to-skin comfort and warmth for cold hands.
The Mimic Alert's cuffs are made from a super soft and stretchy knitted material made of polyamide and elastane. This material is highly stretchy yet durable enough not to start looking shabby after a few wears.
What are its features?
The Mimic Alert features a streamlined feature set to keep weight and bulk to a minimum. An insulated hood with a high collar offers warmth and protection from the elements whilst being fully adjustable, allowing you to cinch it close to the face for maximum thermal efficiency. A soft integrated chin guard helps prevent discomfort around the face when the jacket is fully zipped.
For storage, you'll find two zippered hand pockets and one internal chest pocket ideal for securely stowing your cold-weather essentials, such as gloves, a beanie, a mobile phone and trail snacks.
A drawcord adjustable hem and elasticated cuffs help keep warm air inside the jacket and seal out the elements, enhancing the jacket's fit and thermal efficiency, even over bulky midlayers.
