For those who need more convincing, we caught up with 2 passionate mountaineers Sebastian and Benjamin who have been big fans of our Protium fleeces for a while now.

Montane’s Protium range is one of the best-loved in our new season collection. These insulated layers are lightweight, breathable and comfortable - a versatile piece of kit for your layering system this season . Whether you’re heading out walking or hiking in the hills, or simply looking for a warm fleece for colder mornings and evenings this season, a Protium fleece is a great option for a wide variety of activities. We love to be in the mountains, it doesn’t matter what weather or season it is. When we are in the mountains, we feel at home, no matter where we are in the world. In the mountains we can fully concentrate on the moment and leave the everyday stress in the valley. You experience nature very intensively and get to know yourself better. The hood is nice and snug, it has no means of adjusting the fit, but I found it a tight but non-constrictive fit. That has room for a hat underneath, yet can still fit under a helmet.

After this endurance test in Ecuador we can say that we are fully satisfied. The moisture management and thermal regulation are outstanding. The fit is also very good, even when used as part of a layering system you never have an oppressive feeling. The material used and the workmanship are what we have typically come to expect of Montane - excellent quality. It can either be used as a warm midlayer or a lightweight outer layer when the weather is on your side. We are Sebastian & Benjamin, two brothers from Austria and our goal is to climb the 7 Summits. The 7 Summits are the highest mountains on every continent. We have already completed three of them and the fourth is in planning!
