Montane Dyno (2012)

£100.00

The fabric is less rubbery and less stretchy than some and there’s no fleecy lining. It’s also very thin, so it’s pleasingly lightweight. It’s not fully windproof, but general wind-resistance is good and breathability excellent. The tighter fit, coupled with this fabric construction, makes this one of the best jackets for removing moisture close to the skin. Adjustment is very ...

Montane Flux Jacket (2012)

£130.00

Boasting a wealth of features, the Montane Flux Jacket is quite simply great value for money. Made from Eco-PrimaLoft – where at least 50 per cent of the insulating material is recycled fibre – it will keep you warm enough for summit stops and short lunch breaks for a reasonably low weight (420g, size 10). Its outer shell is water-resistant ...

Montane Bionic Long Sleeve Crew Neck (2012)

£60.00

A really lightweight base-layer made from Sportwool – a unique fabric that blends the best properties of merino wool on the inside, and polyester on the outside. Merino wool excels at trapping water vapour perspiring from the skin, whilst polyester transports moisture to the outside, spreading it out so the fabric dries extremely fast. So this base-layer works just as ...

Montane Sabretooth 2011

£150.00

The Montane Sabretooth has been a Trail favourite for a couple of years; it still offers an excellent range of features. The Polartec Powershield fabric has a membrane with tiny holes, which makes it very windproof while being pretty breathable. The fabric offers the right degree of insulation, so it feels reasonably warm and can be combined with a thinner ...

Montane Slipstream Gilet 2011

£45.00

At a minuscule 80g (size M), the Montane Slipstream Gilet packs down to the size of a golf ball and claims to be the world’s lightest core body protection. It feels almost weightless – but the Pertex Quantum fabric that makes up most of the gilet is windproof and water-repellent, making this a useful extra layer in blowy conditions. Dryactive ...

Montane Mantra

£125.00

The Mantra is a really lightweight soft shell, with a fabric that’s so flexible and easy to move around in you can almost forget you’re wearing it. The clean, smart lines make the Mantra look as good on the street as it performs in the mountains, and it’s stylish enough for the pub, too. It features Polartec Power Shield fabric, ...

Montane North Star 2011

£180.00

The Montane North Star is quite an unusual design. It is longer than most down jackets so you get far better protection around your bum. At 574g it is surprisingly lightweight for its features though as this is a pretty warm duvet. There is a hood too with good insulation, a volume adjuster and a massive wired peak so it ...

Montane Mantra

£125.00

From the school of classic lightweight, short-cut soft shell design, the Mantra is perfect for use as a mid-layer when conditions require something more waterproof to go over the top. For something so light it is remarkably warm, the fabric doing an excellent job of blocking the wind and keeping out the rain, while the fleece inner helped trap the ...

Montane New Sabretooth 2010

£150.00

What’s in a name? The original Montane Sabretooth soft shell jacket was made from Polartec Windpro until July 2010, but from autumn 2010 there is a new version that uses Polartec Powershield. This new fabric has a membrane, which leads to a lower weight plus an increase in water resistance and wind resistance. What’s not to like? DesignThe old Sabretooth ...

Montane Prism 2.0 2010

£100.00

The Prism 2.0 is the lightest insulated jacket in the Montane range and now it uses 40g/m2 Primaloft Eco insulation so that it reduces its impact on the planet. The shell is windproof, while the weight and bulk are low enough to make this a warm and comfortable jacket for general hill use. Unlike some insulated tops it also features ...

Montane Scarab

£100.00

A warm jacket, but the Scarab has excellent venting through the pockets and this, plus an excellent combination of fabrics (Pertex with a pile lining), means it breathes incredibly well so remains very versatile. Includes a roll-away hood, which is very comforting when it is needed. Yet despite all these features, it’s also very light and packs down well, too. ...

Montane Sabretooth Jacket 2009

£150.00

The grey area between soft shell and fleece is spanned by the Montane Sabretooth, which is described as a ‘highly technical soft shell’ jacket as it is more wind- and water-resistant than other fleece mid layers. But most importantly it does not have a membrane so it is far more breathable than most soft shells. DesignThe Montane Sabretooth is a ...

Montane Dragonfly Shirt 2009

£40.00

Some base layers we looked at were designed to cover a number of activities – including skiing and yachting. But the Montane Dragonfly Shirt has obviously been designed for UK walking. Utilising two grades of Polartec Powerdry fabric, the back and arms get high-wicking fabric while the chest and underarms get a stretchier weave, which is tough and enables excellent ...

Montane Puma 2.0

£100.00

The sleeve and hem lengths were spot-on, as was the collar. The Polartec fabrics stretch well enough to enable effortless movement and the Velcro adjustable cuffs pull up to cool down.  Soft shell is always a compromise and the Puma is light and ultra-breathable. A versatile jacket. VITAL STATSColours: Deep red/graphite, black/graphiteSizes: XS-XXLFabric: Polartec Thermal Pro with Hardface technologyWeight: 600g ...

Montane Puma 2008

£100.00

This top sits at the softer end of the soft shell category. The fabric is Polartec Thermal Pro with a slightly denser and harder-wearing face treatment, which also makes it a little more water-resistant than conventional fleece. The result is a garment that is exceptionally breathable and a little lighter than some other options. The fabric is also more stretchy ...

Montane Puma

£90.00

Perfect throughout, with Velcro adjustable cuffs, drawcord adjustable hem and a lovely, soft, high and very snug collar. The Puma also has plenty of stretch in the fabric, which enables easy movement and allows for an extra layer underneath. It feels reassuringly warm and cosy just pulling it on. Not the lightest, but while this goes against it in the ...

Montane Flux

£100.00

This insulated jacket is a sound contribution from Montane, consisting of Primaloft fill and a jam-packed list of features. To start with, the Flux has one of the best hood designs. It not only draws in around the face and has a wired peak, but it also fits over a helmet and still cinches in at the neck. When the ...

£75.00

This duvet jacket weighs 372g; synthetic insulation; large chest pockets; hood rolls to collar; elasticated cuffs; scoop tail; excellent movement in sleeves; packs into its own pocket; ideal as back-up insulation from spring to autumn. But not as warm as others.

Montane Jaguar/Panther

£90.00

Polartec Wind Pro fabric provides the basis for this fleece mid layer, and this really gives it an advantage as the fabric holds back the wind a little better than more open-knit materials. The inside of the material is extremely fluffy, making this very warm. You get a hem and collar drawcord to lock out the draughts too. For a ...

Montane Verso Jacket

£100.00

This insulated jacket weighs 448g, so it is ideal for carrying year-round, and like many others of its type it makes use of Primaloft insulation and Pertex fabric to keep the weight down. It stuffs into the chest pocket, saving the weight of a stuffsack. To keep draughts out the front zip has a baffle on the inside and the ...

Montane Puma

£90.00

This provides a different kind of soft shell experience from some other jackets, but it is quite suitable if you want something beyond what a normal fleece can offer. It is made from a fabric that is more wind- and water-resistant than a conventional fleece and it also feels far more durable. Under the arms you get more conventional stretch ...
