2026 Men's Vertical Hoodie: Your Ultimate Mountain Companion

Imagine the warmth of a puff jacket, combined with the unrestricted movement and superior breathability of a technical fleece. That's exactly what the Vertical Hoodie delivers – a game-changer for your cold-weather adventures. Don't let its soft, inviting appearance fool you; this is a highly engineered insulation garment, meticulously designed for ski touring, alpine climbing, and any activity where staying warm, dry, and comfortable in unpredictable mountain conditions is paramount.

At its heart is advanced Polartec® Alpha® Direct fabric, a marvel of textile innovation. This technical material masterfully mimics the insulating properties of animal fur, providing exceptional warmth for its incredibly low weight. But unlike traditional insulation, Alpha® Direct is also remarkably fast-drying and superbly ventilating, actively regulating your temperature to prevent overheating during high-output ascents while keeping you cozy during exposed descents or rest stops.

Every detail of the Vertical Hoodie is engineered for performance. A half-length zipper minimizes weight and allows for quick ventilation adjustments. A discreet, zippered chest pocket keeps essentials secure and easily accessible. And when icy winds bite, simply pull up the fitted hood for instant protection. Best of all, this powerhouse of warmth and breathability packs down incredibly small, making it an essential, space-saving addition to your pack for every mountain mission.
