Montane | translate:/Global/SiteRating: 5

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 Terra Alpine

£80.00

Really quite technical trousers and performed incredibly well on the hills. The stretch-woven fabric is more like traditional soft shell, which allows for a great range of movement whilst remaining close-fitting and doesn’t ride up. This can be particularly useful on windy ridges and when tackling difficult terrain. The narrow fit in the leg is helped with a zip-opening ankle ...

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 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 Venture

£120.00

A great pair of hard-wearing trousers, with excellent waterproofing and breathability as afforded by a 3-layer eVENT membrane. The face-fabric is particularly rugged with large reinforced sections around the ankle area to protect against rubbing and further reinforcement around the articulated knees and backside. The trousers have been built with quite a fitted shape that really helps to keep rustling ...

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 Terra Converts 2010

£75.00

While pretty much any trousers can be used for hill-walking, some are better than others – and the Montane Terra Converts are feature-packed to lift them above the opposition. They are reasonably light, so they’re good for backpackers. The material is a fast-drying nylon as used by many brands, but it benefits from reinforcement panels on the knees and seat ...

Montane Terra Pants

£70.00

Hard-to-beat walking trousers that perform well in all but the hottest and coolest conditions. The sizing is quite generous, but to fine-tune the fit they’ve got a part-elastic waist and chunky, removable belt. The fabric is soft, supple, very lightweight and water-repellent, and dries really quickly. It also provides some wind protection, and is wonderfully breathable. There are wide, zip-access ...

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

£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 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 ...
