Alpine-Ready Synthetic Insulation Without the Bulk
Designed for demanding alpine pursuits, the Mountain Equipment Oreus Hooded Jacket delivers the warmth of down with the resilience of synthetic insulation. Crafted with cutting-edge Aetherm™ Precision Insulation—developed over five years—this mid-weight synthetic jacket offers superior thermal performance, breathability, and packability in rugged, cold conditions. Whether you're scaling exposed ridgelines or winter climbing in wet, windy environments, the Oreus is engineered to excel.

Recycled Construction — Insulated with 100% recycled polyester; shell and lining made from ultra-light, breathable 10D recycled polyamide
Helmet-Compatible Hood — Fully adjustable Mountain HC Hood fits over helmets for alpine protection
Adaptable Fit — Regular fit with articulated sleeves ensures freedom of movement for layering and technical climbs
Versatile Storage — Hand pockets, chest zip pocket, and large internal drop pocket that doubles as a pack pouch with karabiner loops
Two-Way Zipper — YKK® moulded zip with rear baffle, easy to operate with gloves and protects against heat loss
Real-World Use Case
From high-altitude ascents in the Karakoram to winter bivvies in the Southern Alps, the Oreus is the synthetic layer climbers reach for when the forecast turns cold and unpredictable. It thrives as a standalone shell or as a warm belay layer during long alpine pushes.
