Montane Mens Duality Jacket RRP £280

Product Information

Combining durable, high-performance Gore-Tex waterproof fabric alongside highly efficient, lightweight Primaloft Silver insulation. Though I've not yet managed to poke a hole in any of the jackets the Fitzroy feels like it has the most robust fabric, and it's the one I'd choose on a wet day too. Personally I'd probably not consider a climbing layer with more than 60g of insulation (I've climbed in my Patagucci Nano Puff a few times and it's been great) and I'd take a 100g jacket as being in light to moderate belay jacket territory so low pockets and huge internal pockets make sense to me. The Montane Duality Jacket is incredible for a versatile and durable waterproof synthetic insulated jacket. Comfy on the move yet warm when you're stationary, the new version of this synthetic insulated jacket is significantly thicker than the original, making it potentially a better bet in winter.

The Men’s Insulated Duality Jacket is built with technology which makes it the ultimate companion for mountain walking and mountaineering.Where product tags have been removed, even if they have been re-attached, Mountain Kit will not be able to refund the product. The big advantage of synthetic insulation over down is that it still performs (after a fashion) when wet, so synthetic insulated jackets are well suited to the sort of conditions generally met when walking and climbing in our winter mountains. The table below is designed to help you understand where Montane products are made and what they are made from. Meanwhile, the Pertex Quantum inner 'is super lightweight and packable and is also slippy to make it easy for pulling on over other garments.

Meanwhile, PrimaLoft® Gold synthetic fill offers water-resistance, fast-drying properties and high levels of breathability in a lightweight package that makes the Duality ideal for active and rigorous pursuits in cold conditions. The Duality Jacket contains a PEAQ Synthetic ECO lining, which is beautifully comfortable against the skin.Please don't send a possible faulty or warranty product back without completing the claim form first, as we are unable to refund your postage if you do. An external chest pocket and two hand pockets provide safe and easy-to-access storage for your essentials or even a place to warm your hands up during colder activities. This 'all-in-one' jacket excels by shielding you from rain and delivering much-needed warmth when facing inclement weather. As the body begins to sweat, or when you start to overheat, the fabric allows there to be a steady airflow in and out of the jacket, which will work to keep the body feeling cool and comfortable. An adjustable hem helps to reduce heat loss whilst also providing a perfect fit plus, adjustable cuffs can also help to seal in escaping heat.

I find the 100g per square metre weight used in the body to be just adequate when stationary, but not necessarily overkill for moving.

This is a good move, since the overlap with the trousers can often get a bit damp, while your hood has generally filled with snow before you remember to put it up. The only downside is that the Buffalo is a smock type, so has to be dragged over your head, but I’ve never had any issues taking it off when I’ve stopped at a pub during a winter walk. The hand pockets are placed higher on this jacket than those of the other two on test, and can be easily accessed when wearing a harness or rucksack hip belt. Also it’s targeted at and popular with people who like camouflage and wearing the same gear as security and military supposedly wear etc. In deepest winter the Montane Extreme comes out but that coat is very warm and too warm unless it’s well below zero.

Combining durable, high-performance Gore-Tex waterproof fabric alongside highly efficient, lightweight Primaloft Silver insulation, this shell jacket provides guaranteed waterproof protection and essential warmth on cold adventures in the mountains. It is lightly quilted by put you can’t see it and it’s waterproof and would meet your hour criteria easily I reckon. Wir geben uns die größte Mühe, die Auswirkungen unseres unternehmerischen Handelns auf die Umwelt zu verringern. The fully adjustable hood is paired with a stiffened peak for unrestricted vision, and can be rolled away when not in use. It also doesn’t have internal pockets which annoys me (hence my interest in this thread as I’m looking for similar, I also want a detachable hood).

An excellent waterproof jacket for activities in the mountains including hiking and trekking, where exposure to changeable weather conditions is likely. I’ve got an Enduro now but briefly had a Helki and before that a Velez smock for years and years and before that I briefly had a Cascada. Though aimed primarily at climbers these jackets are just as suited to winter walking; rather better, in some respects. Zip: Robust and chunky two-way main zip with internal anti-snag draft-excluding baffle, which folds over the top of the zip to avoid scratching the chin.
