Mammut Taiss Light Ml Hooded Jacket - Men's
Overview
The Mammut Taiss Light ML Hooded Jacket is a lightweight, technical fleece built for climbers, fastpackers, and active hikers who prioritize mobility and breathable warmth. Constructed from a 56% nylon / 32% polyester / 12% spandex blend with abrasion-resistant nylon panels, it balances stretch where you need it with durability on contact zones. The semi-fitted, hip-length cut layers cleanly under shells; harness-accessible pockets and an under-helmet hood keep it purpose-driven for multi-pitch climbing and crag days. As part of Mammut's Responsible Collection and bluesign® APPROVED, it’s a good choice for buyers seeking a performance midlayer that performs on sustained aerobic approaches while remaining compact and comfortable for year-round exploration.
