Mountain Equipment Switch vest, black
SWITCH VEST is a very light middle layer of a hybrid construction with excellent POLARTEC® Alpha® thermal insulation on the body and Pontetorto® Tecnopile fleece. You can wear the SWITCH VEST in the morning during cold climbs or you can put it on during downtime during the ascent. It will also serve great as an insulating layer during frosty descents.
Original POLARTEC® Alpha® military technology
The POLARTEC® Alpha® fabric was originally developed for the US military. It is a new technology with active insulation that can regulate body temperature both while moving and while standing. In this design, it also has great breathability, thanks to which you don't have to take off every now and then or add more layers when it's cold. In addition, POLARTEC® Alpha® has excellent thermal insulation properties at minimal weight, is easy to pack, dries quickly and is easy to wash.
- POLARTEC® Alpha® insulating layer (40g) in the body area. The upper material is lightweight Nylon 20D RS, which is stretchy, breathable and windproof.
- Pontetorto® Tecnopile 187 fleece knit used for side panels.
- Active Fit – narrow and perfectly fitting cut for active and unrestricted fast movement.
- Flat seams for great comfort when worn directly on the body.
- Full YKK zipper.
- Two insulated side pockets and one chest pocket with zipper.
- Elastic bottom hem of the jacket.
- Packable in its own pocket and can be attached to the seat with a carabiner using two loops.
Put it on and stay warm
As the name itself suggests, the SWITCH VEST is intended for rapid changes in climatic conditions. Definitely pack it for winter mountaineering or ski touring and ski alpinism. Within a few moments, you will start to feel a pleasant warmth on your body and you will immediately feel better. You don't have to worry even with high physical exertion. Whether it's POLARTEC® Alpha® or Pontetorto® Tecnopile fleece, both technologies have great breathability and dry quickly.
