  • Zenith Hood

    Colour
    Desolve Veil
    Alpine
    Size

    If you're venturing on mid-winter alpine excursions or warm spring/summer missions, the all-purpose, all-season Zenith Hood is an essential hunting mid-layer top. An integrated slimline hood has a skull cap design, providing complete insulation without any uncomfortable bulk when paired with a barrier layer. In particularly cold conditions, you can lose up to 50% of your body heat through your head. Being able to retain body heat and transfer moisture is key to staying safe in the mountains.

    The Zenith is light, warm, tough, and breathes well when the heat comes on. It utilises a 280gm RPET recycled polyester hard-faced, high-wicking fleece for the main body and a 205gm GRIDstretch, high-wicking, high-breathability fleece for the underarms. A body-mapped design for the ultimate in warmth, wicking, and breathability.

    • Main body - 280gm RPET hard-faced, high-wicking fleece
    • Underarms - 205gm GRIDstretch fleece
    • Weight SzM: 575g
    • Made from 53 recycled plastic bottles
    • Lightweight and packable
    • Ergonomic cut
    • Body-mapping design
    • Integrated slim-fit hood
    • Zippered lower pockets
    • High-cut 1/2 front zipper for temperature regulation

    All round top quality mid layer

    This is used as my mid layer for the last 4 years as advertised and it's awesome I can wear this all day and it looks good feels good just good a few mornings and nights where its droppeded below 0 even -6 I've used this in my layering system nothing special no puffer jacket or proper insulation layer apart from base layer and this has done the job extremely well the hood isn't the best as it fits odd however if your not keen to get a beanie out or balaclava it does the job in a pinch, been used abused never missed a beat. The HE team has really created something good here

    Hood was too small

    I loved everything about this but but the hood. I am 180 cm and 80kg and ordered a Large. Unfortunately, when the hood was up and I put a pack on, my neck movement was very restricted and locked in a forward position. It needed a longer neck as it was tenting off of my shoulders. Maybe I needed an XL. When I tried it, it was too long in the arms.
