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 Atomic (2012)

£100.00

The Montane Atomic has been around for some years, but it is now made from Pertex Shield, a very thin and lightweight laminated fabric with a print finish on the inside. This jacket packs down small and is very light, but with the drawback of not being quite so comfy as one using 3-layer fabric such as the eVent used ...

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 Venture 2011

£220.00

The Montane Venture has been a popular multi-activity and hillwalking jacket for many years. It is a relatively stripped-down design, which means it is lightweight at 452g (men’s L). The low weight is due in part to this jacket only having two chest pockets, rather than three or more. Also it is quite short compared to others, and all this ...

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 eVent Superfly Trousers 2011

£130.00

The mid-priced Montane eVent Superfly Trousers strike a fine balance between technicality and simplicity. They may lack features such as belt loops, pockets and a fly zip, but they do have reinforced ankles, backside and knees, a drawstring at the ankle for volume adjustment, and water-resistant zips. They feel like trousers that have had some serious thought over the essential ...

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 Minimus Jacket 2011

£120.00

Weighing in at just 220g (men’s L) and packing down into its own apple-sized stuffsack makes the Montane Minimus Jacket a true ultralight option. Much of the weight saving comes from the fabric, which is Pertex Shield, and in the lab it gives top-end breathability and waterproof performance figures. And it does all that for an incredible £120, making it ...

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 Minimus

£120.00

An incredibly lightweight waterproof, weighing in at a cool 180g (size 12). The Pertex Shield fabric is very light and easy to move in, although it does feel a little on the flimsy side and is fairly noisy, too. It will withstand a good beating from the rain, though, and its waterproofness is helped by a decent storm flap hidden ...

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 Terra Pants 2011

£70.00

The Montane Terra Pants are very functional hill trousers that look as ‘techy’ as they are. The use of Tactel fabric (green areas) means these trousers are water-resistant, light and very fast-drying, which are all essential features on the hills. The Cordura (black areas) adds useful additional abrasion resistance on the legs and seat for when you are scrambling around. ...

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 Venture

£200.00

The Venture stands out from most of others, not only because of its technical performance, but because it is lightweight and very packable too. It’s a great looking jacket, made from lightweight yet reassuringly durable fabric. There’s a high collar to bury your face into when the weather turns nasty, with a soft fleece lining under the chin. And most ...

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 Superfly XT 2010

£300.00

The Montane Superfly XT is a classic hill jacket and for this winter it has had a facelift. It now weighs in at just 574g (size M), which is very light for its features. There are new colours and new panel configurations as well as additional reflective tape. The fabric used is the same well-proven eVent, which is as good ...

Montane Atomic DT Stretch 2010

£150.00

This is the stretch version of the Montane Atomic DT 2.0 multi-activity jacket. You do pay extra for having stretch material, but the benefit is a closer fit that does not restrict movement too much and remains comfortable. The fabric is Entrant, which is a well-proven waterproof and breathable fabric. The design is close-fitting and short with a slight scoop ...

Montane Atomic DT 2.0 2010

£120.00

The use of Entrant fabric keeps the price of the Montane Atomic DT 2.0 down, yet it still offers very good waterproof and breathable performance. The jacket is a typically performance-orientated design from Montane, so you get a relatively close and short style but it still maintains good freedom of movement. There are two chest pockets, and these can be ...

Montane Venture 2010

The Montane Venture general-purpose jacket has been popular over recent years, and for this winter it has an improved hood and a change of fabric panels to create some small changes to the performance. The jacket is still made from eVent fabric, which is a proven top performer. The body has a main front zip that now has an internal ...

Montane New Sabretooth 2010

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 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 Atomic DT

A very light jacket, the Atomic is cut quite short, making it suitable for summer use and high-energy activities, and it packs down easily in its own stuffsack. The Entrant DT Storm and Kudos nylon ripstop fabric is soft to the touch, although less breathable and more rustly than some. It is incredibly waterproof for its weight, though, with a ...

Montane Prism 2.0 2010

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 ...

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. ...
