Technical Specifications

performance

The Guide Merino Mid Hood is a premium technical fleece engineered for serious mountain use. Made from an advanced Italian merino-blend fabric — 76% polyester, 18% non-mulesed wool, and 6% elastane — it combines natural thermoregulation with durable stretch and efficient moisture transport. The smooth exterior withstands abrasion, while the soft interior wicks sweat by capillary action and spreads it across the surface for faster evaporation. Warm, wind-resistant, and highly breathable, it performs across a wide range of activities including ski touring, alpinism, climbing, hiking, and year-round outdoor missions. A fixed, adjustable hood, pre-bent sleeves, and a tilted collar zipper provide comfort under packs and shells, while two oversized chest pockets remain accessible with alpine equipment. Durable, versatile, and purposefully refined — a reliable mid layer for long days in varied terrain.
