At the top of an alpine ridge, the biting wind reminds you why gear is essential. The Oreus Vest from Mountain Equipment, the result of a five-year project, is designed to tame these elements. With its patent-pending Aetherm™ Precision insulation, it offers unparalleled warmth for its weight, while remaining breathable and compressible. Imagine a synthetic vest that keeps you warm without weighing you down: that's exactly what Oreus offers.
Whether you're climbing the peaks of the Karakoram or ski touring in the Alps, this vest is a true temperature chameleon. It transforms as well into a protective outer layer as it does into an ultra-warm mid-layer. The enthusiastic feedback from our athletes testifies: the Oreus is a trusted ally for all your adventures.
Its thermal performance and short drying time are undeniable assets for any outdoor sports enthusiast. Lightweight and compact, it easily fits into your backpack, ready to accompany you on the highest summits or the Scottish trails. With the Oreus Vest, every outing becomes an adventure without compromising on comfort.
