The Eclipse Hooded Zip Tee. Due to the use of two types  Pontetorto  Technostretch  Fleece, M.E. has manufactured this garment with a flexible & active fit. They have used  Pontetorto  Techno Stretch Fleece in the main body, arms & upper hood to provide greater warmth where it’s needed, then a lighter-weight  Technostretch  Fleece is used to panel key areas such as under arms, collar & hem; basically the places where you don’t want too much bulk. The Hood will fit under your helmet & when you zip up you get full face coverage; great for those cold winter days. The off-set zip is a key feature if this lightweight midlayer/heavyweight baselayer. Not only does it stop you from catching your whiskers in the zips teeth, which is annoyingly painful, but as the zip runs at a different direction to other layers it reduces cold spots that you normally get from zips that are all lined up. The thumb loops are of a good size as sometimes thumb loops can be a bit snug, but these are lovely & comfortable. The longer length cut avoids skin exposure when reaching up high for a hold & the Polygiene anti-microbial technology helps keep the garment smelling fresh during prolonged use. I would use this piece when climbing or fast moving winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding or even hiking. Pontetorto Technostretch fleece for warmth & minimal bulk Lightweight Pontetorto Technostretch fleece panels in key areas Polygiene anti-microbial technology Active fit with longer length Close fitting Lycra bound hood with face protection & offset closure Flatlocked seams throughout for next-to-skin comfort YKK offset deep centre front zip for ventilation Napoleon pocket with mesh back Seam-free hips for comfort with a harness or rucksack Low bulk cuffs with integrated thumb loops For all you kit geeks out there, the links below will take you to Mountain Equipments Information pages where they will explain this jackets different fabrics, fills & constructions techniques in greater detail.

The Fitzroy Jacket is packed with Prima Loft Gold (100g fill in the body with 60g in the arms & hood). The Prima Loft Gold is the rebranded Prima Loft One.
