Lightweight, warm, and breathable, this high-performance fleece hoody has been designed to meet the unique demands of winter climbing and balance your temperature on challenging ascents. It is constructed using body-mapped fabrics which deflect wind and cold on exposed climbs, yet breathe in high-heat areas and wick away sweat to keep you dry and comfortable when you’re pushing your limits.
The details have been designed specifically for vertical missions, with a low-bulk waist which fits seamlessly under your harness, and an under-helmet hood. The zipped chest pocket is accessible when you’re wearing a harness and is the ideal place to stash a snack or guide. Elasticated bindings at the cuffs and hem ensure a close fit to trap warmth, while the integrated thumb loops prevent the sleeves from riding up your arm, particularly on long stretches with your arms overhead.
Finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR, the Ascendor Summit Hoody FZ is the ultimate low-volume technical hoody for your fast and light mountain activities in demanding winter conditions.
How to measure.
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
Waist: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
Arm length: Measure horizontally from the centre of your back, across the shoulder, over a naturally bent elbow and down to the wrist fold.
While all our garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker midlayers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
All garments are designed and fitted to suit their intended end use. See below for a general description of our fit categories:
Regular: Neither slim nor loose. Regular fit items are the perfect balance of form fit and ease of movement.
Slim: A streamlined silhouette. Cut trim following the contours of the body. Expertly placed articulation of seams and the use of stretch fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement in these close-fitting items.
Relaxed: Our more generous fit. Cut loosely through the body allowing for ease of movement and additional layering.
Expedition: Designed specifically to accommodate the layering system and equipment required for high altitude and polar expeditions.
