If you're venturing on mid-winter alpine excursions or warm spring/summer missions, the all-purpose, all-season Zenith Hood is an essential hunting mid-layer top. An integrated slimline hood has a skull cap design, providing complete insulation without any uncomfortable bulk when paired with a barrier layer. In particularly cold conditions, you can lose up to 50% of your body heat through your head. Being able to retain body heat and transfer moisture is key to staying safe in the mountains.
The Zenith is light, warm, tough, and breathes well when the heat comes on. It utilises a 280gm RPET recycled polyester hard-faced, high-wicking fleece for the main body and a 205gm GRIDstretch, high-wicking, high-breathability fleece for the underarms. A body-mapped design for the ultimate in warmth, wicking, and breathability.
This is an excellent mid layer - really pleased I took it into a recent trip to the Kaimanawas - quality
Good hoody. Warm and good fit.
I loved everything about this but but the hood. I am 180 cm and 80kg and ordered a Large. Unfortunately, when the hood was up and I put a pack on, my neck movement was very restricted and locked in a forward position. It needed a longer neck as it was tenting off of my shoulders. Maybe I needed an XL. When I tried it, it was too long in the arms.
Brilliant piece of gear. Warm, comfortable... Really happy with it.
I like this Zenith, I have one of each color light and warm can be worn all year round I have the 2xl fits great.

REPREVE® recycled fabric uses plastic bottles which are collected and cleaned. The clean bottles are shredded and melted into plastic chips. These chips are processed and transformed into fibres, which are then knitted or woven to create the fabrics in our gear.
The main body of the Zenith is a warm 280gm hard-faced, high wicking fleece. This provides crucial insulation, breathes out moisture, and regulates your body temperature through all conditions.
A 205gm 4-way stretch, super breathable fleece is utilised in the underarms to provide freedom of movement and sweat ventilation where you need it most.
The hood is a snug and light skull cap style design, so it sits close underneath a jacket hood to provide extra insulation and is slim enough not to bunch on your back under your jacket when pulled down.
Two lower zippered handwarmer pockets keeps your essentials secure and your fingers toasty.
When you buy Hunters Element products, you are choosing to support the industry leader in social and environmentally sustainable practices. We are committed to making a real change, from eliminating plastic bags and using recycled cardboard for packaging to sourcing low-emission crafted materials and more.
