Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Equipment Aerotherm Hooded Jacket is an ideal technical layer for active adults who prioritize mobility and breathability during high-intensity mountain pursuits like trail running, fast-packing, or technical climbing. This jacket excels at providing a windproof barrier and moisture management in moderate weather, though it is designed as a lightweight performance piece rather than a primary heavy-duty insulation layer for extreme alpine cold.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Aerotherm is windproof and highly breathable, but it is not a fully waterproof hardshell. It will handle light mist, but it is not designed for heavy, sustained rain.
Can I wear this under a harness?
Yes, the slim Active fit and articulated arms make it excellent for wearing under a climbing harness.
How do I store the jacket when not in use?
You can stuff the jacket into its own zippered hand pocket. It also features integrated loops so it can be clipped to your harness or a backpack.
Is the hood helmet compatible?
The Mountain Hood is adjustable, but it is primarily designed for high-mobility use rather than fitting over bulky climbing helmets.
What is the best way to clean the garment?
Machine wash in cool water with a technical detergent; do not use fabric softener, as this affects the wicking performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside during intense exercise
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking base layers; the Aerotherm moves moisture outward, but it must be moved from your skin first.
Zipper sticks or is difficult to operate
Check for fabric caught in the track and ensure the zipper is clean of dust or grit. A dedicated zipper lubricant can be applied if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and packable for fast-and-light adventures
- Excellent windproofing for exposed ridgelines
- High breathability prevents overheating during intense activity
- Active fit allows for unrestricted range of motion
- Convenient integrated storage system with harness clips
Cons
- Not intended for heavy-duty rain protection
- Lightweight construction means it is less abrasion-resistant than heavier hardshells
- Not a thermal layer for sub-zero stationary use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the technical fabric, machine wash the jacket in cool water with a mild, technical-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can clog the fibers and reduce the breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities of the lining. Hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Because the jacket features an Active fit, it is designed to be worn over minimal base layers. If you are between sizes or prefer a layering system for cold weather, consider how much volume your base layers occupy before selecting your size.
