Gear of the Week | Mammut Taiss Light ML Jacket

Sporty midlayer for alpine tours

by Johannes Wolf 01/26/2025
With the Taiss Light Jacket ML, Mammut has a warm yet breathable mid-layer in its range. It's suitable for everyday wear as well as ski touring, mountaineering and alpine skiing.

Nowadays, it has become a standard mid-layer. Alongside the base layer and hardshell jacket, the main purpose of the midlayer is to store heat and serves as an intermediate layer under the hardshell jacket. The onion principle has proven itself over the years, because thanks to the different layers you are well equipped for all temperatures.

I've been wearing the Mammut Taiss Light ML Jacket on my adventures since the beginning of this winter. The jacket was therefore used on ski tours, skiing and cross-country skiing as well as mountaineering. The mid-layer is very comfortable to wear, especially in cold temperatures. The material is extremely breathable and dries quickly if you do work up a sweat. The 4-way stretch fleece provides sufficient freedom of movement, which is particularly important while climbing. Thanks to the high chest pocket, the mid-layer is also compatible with a climbing or high touring harness. The thumb loops on the sleeves are another very practical feature. These keep your hands warm and prevent the sleeves from riding up.

The Mammut Taiss Light ML Jacket also performs well as a classic jacket for everyday use. So far, the material has been able to cope with pretty much every activity, which is why the jacket is the ideal candidate for Gear of the Week, in my opinion. The jacket is also available as a hooded option.

A few more details about me. I am 179 cm tall, weigh approx. 70 kg and usually wear a size M. I have the jacket in size L and as a result it currently fits rather loosely. If you prefer a tighter fit, you might be better off with a size M. However, as the jacket is more of a slim fit, size L works just fine.
