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 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 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 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 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 Atomic DT Stretch 2010

£150.00

This is the stretch version of the Montane Atomic DT 2.0 multi-activity jacket.

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 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 ...

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.

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 ...
