The Taiss Light can be worn any time of year and is perfect for all kinds of mountain activities. Medium-strength 4-way stretch fleece with high nylon content and shaped cut provide freedom of movement and abrasion resistance. The smooth outer material makes the jacket ideal for wearing under a hardshell layer. The material is breathable and dries quickly, while flat seams improve wearing comfort. The pockets are placed higher up to accommodate your climbing harness. Thumb loops and the tight-fitting helmet-compatible hood make the Taiss Light a highly functional, versatile mid-layer.

Our Verdict

The Mammut Taiss Light ML Hooded Jacket is a stellar mid-layer option for any out pursuit. Its warmth, breathability, and stretch make it incredibly versatile across seasons and activities. The medium-weight fleece fabric has a high nylon content, providing warmth and excellent durability. But it’s the 4-way stretch that allows this jacket to shine – the athletic fit and gusseted underarms never restrict mobility, whether hiking or climbing.

The smooth outer face slides easily under an outer shell, while flat seams prevent chafing under a pack. The fitted hood is helmet-compatible, and the higher hand pockets sit clear of a belt-belt, so they are accessible with a rucksack or harness on. Nice touches like the thumb loops and quick-drying moisture-wicking fabric ensure you stay comfortable on any adventure. Whether you need insulating warmth on a cold weather start or a breathable layer for high-output days, this technical mid-layer refuses to compromise between thermal regulation and freedom of movement.
