Waste not, want not. The Mountain Equipment Earthrise Hooded gives us all the insulation we need while relying on recycled and repurposed materials to take some pressure off the planet. The recycled down gives us the lightweight, highly packable insulation we want for chilly crags, trailside snack breaks, and cold nights at camp. The recycled nylon shell cuts chilly breezes and adds some abrasion-resistance to fend off rocks and trees without using more virgin petroleum products. This adds up to a trustworthy, packable winter layer with a lighter environmental footprint that other insulated hoodies.
