Product Information

Full details

The Montane Caldus XT 2.0 Fleece Hoodie is designed for male adventurers who require reliable thermal performance in sub-zero mountain environments. Utilizing high-loft THERMO HL fleece, this garment excels at trapping body heat while maintaining the breathability necessary for strenuous climbs; however, its bulky, high-loft structure means it is less packable than thinner midlayers.

FAQs

Is this hoodie windproof?

No, the Caldus XT 2.0 is designed for insulation and breathability. It should be worn under a windproof shell in exposed conditions.

Can I wear this under a climbing harness?

Yes, the pocket placement is specifically designed to be accessible while wearing a climbing harness or a backpack hip belt.

Is the hood adjustable?

The Caldus XT 2.0 features a high collar design for thermal coverage, but it does not include a traditional adjustable hood.

Does it fit true to size?

It features a Regular Fit, designed to accommodate a base layer underneath. If you prefer a very tight race-fit, you may want to consider sizing down, though standard sizing is recommended.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, you should avoid fabric softeners as they coat the synthetic fibres and significantly reduce the garment's ability to move moisture away from the skin.

Troubleshooting

Excessive moisture build-up inside the jacket

Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking synthetic or wool and open the centre-front zipper to increase airflow.

Fleece feels less warm than when new

High-loft fibres can mat over time. Gently brush the fabric to restore the loft and wash according to the care instructions to remove trapped oils.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for cold-weather performance
  • Highly effective at wicking moisture during high-output activity
  • Freedom of movement provided by mechanical stretch
  • Functional pocket placement for technical mountain use

Cons

  • High-loft material is bulkier than lightweight microfleece options
  • Requires careful layering selection to avoid overheating in mild conditions
  • Synthetic fleece material is not windproof on its own

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Caldus XT 2.0 requires no complex setup; simply choose the size that fits over your base layer. For optimal performance, ensure the cuffs and hem sit flush against your skin or underlayers to prevent heat escape. When cleaning, wash the fleece on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the wicking properties of the technical synthetic fibres. It is best to air dry the garment; avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the high-loft fleece structure and reduce its thermal efficiency.
