The Arrow 1/4 Zip combines the wind resistance, wicking performance and warmth needed for long days in the mountains with the stretch required for technical ground and challenging rock climbing. Occupying a unique place in our summer rock collection, it’s an adaptable, lightweight layer for committing alpine routes and long sessions on rock.

With a lofted inner face and wind-resistant double-weave outer, the Arrow 1/4 Zip is more comfortable and wearable than a softshell and more protective than a lightweight fleece. The highly wicking lofted inner moves moistures away from the body as you move fast over approach pitches, while simultaneously adding valuable warmth on exposed ground or shaded belays. A trim Active fit, designed for mountain use, eliminates excess material and sits neatly under a harness. At the same time, a stretchy, unrestrictive feel throughout allows for complete freedom of movement, whether coiling ropes, shouldering packs or pulling crux moves. There is a chest pocket for storing essentials and a deep centre zip allows for heat and moisture management on the move.

Worn all day on multi-pitch rock routes or thrown over a tee for extra warmth when evening cragging, the Arrow1/4 Zip is one of our most versatile pieces for summer rock climbing and mountaineering.
