Mountain Hardwear Women's Summit Grid Half Zip Hoody

Mountain Hardwear Women's Summit Grid Half Zip Hoody

A lightweight, versatile grid fleece midlayer built for women who want one go-to layer that works from summer high country backpacking to winter desert treks without overthinking the packing list. The Summit Grid Half Zip's breathable grid fleece, scuba hood, and half-zip venting make it the kind of piece that earns year-round rotation without ever feeling like a compromise.

Why We Carry It
It's the fleece midlayer we recommend for active women who want a lightweight, packable grid fleece with a hood and half-zip that works as a standalone layer or under a shell across a full range of conditions and seasons.

Highlights

• 200 g/m² grid fleece in 100% polyester — A lightweight, breathable grid construction that delivers genuine warmth without the bulk of a heavier fleece. The open grid pattern promotes airflow and moisture management during active use while trapping enough heat for cold mornings and camp evenings.
• Center front half-zip for easy venting — Open it up on sustained climbs and close it down when the effort drops without a full layer swap. The half-zip that makes a fleece significantly more versatile than a pullover across variable effort levels and temperatures.
• Three-piece fitted scuba hood with double bungee cinch — A close-fitting, structured hood that stays put in wind and provides genuine head and neck coverage without the floppy, unstable feel of a standard hood. Double bungee adjustment for a customizable, secure fit that layers cleanly under a shell or helmet.
• Raglan sleeves for unrestricted movement — Sleeve construction that eliminates the shoulder seam for a full, unrestricted range of motion overhead and through all-day active use without the binding that standard set-in sleeves create on sustained climbs and technical terrain.
• Kangaroo pocket for hand warming and essentials — A classic front pocket that keeps hands warm on cold starts and stashes a phone, snacks, or a map without the weight and complexity of multiple zippered pockets.
• Adjustable hem cinch — Seals in warmth at the waist and customizes the fit for different layering combinations without a fixed hem that creates bulk under a shell.
• MHW patch logo at bottom left hem — A clean, subtle branding detail that gives the Summit Grid a polished, considered look without an oversized logo.
