What does fit mean?

Follows the line of your body, but gives you room to move.  

A loose fit for every day comfort, while not being baggy.  

Size Chart

Warm no matter what. Lightweight warmth with an ergonomic cut and merino fleece panels creates freedom of movement for freeriding and ski touring. The Arete can be stashed away in your pack and will provide instant warmth once layered.

100% merino wool insulation regulates your temperature to keep you warm when it matters, even when wet.

Arete uses a light, soft touch 100% recycled Pertex® Quantum ripstop shell. An eco-friendly, PFC-free, durable water repellent (C0 DWR) finish sheds light rain and snow to provide additional weather protection.

What’s so epic about Merino Wool?

Merino Wool is the OG performance fibre, crushing it since way before oil-derived synthetics arrived. Cool when it’s hot, warm when it’s not, just as epic when wet and never stinks. We’ve tapped into the natural perks of this legend, while adding a new-school spin to meet the needs of mountain bikers, skiers, snowboarders and mission-seekers. 

To ensure the highest standards of animal welfare, environmental care, and social sustainability, we use ZQRX-certified Merino Wool.

Arete Merino Insulated Hooded Jacket

Love the black one so much that I decided to get the other colour (thistle cloud) too! Lovely and flattering fit, beautiful colour, light but warm. Overall, the perfect winter jacket.

The perfect jacket

Love my new jacket, it keeps me toasty warm but is also light weight. I get so many compliments on the colour. I’m a 12/medium usually, but ordered a large/14 and it fits perfectly in the length of the arms and the length in the body
