Montane Extreme Outdoor Jacket - SS17

This jacket kicks butt!! It is 4 degrees F out with strong winds and I was toasty with a expedition weight base layer and this jacket. For the money it is an incredible bargain. There is a great deal of attention to details, e.g., articulated sleeves, elbows with a rugged layer over bottom of forearms and elbow, the cuffs have large grips for tightening and loosening, there are attachment loops for gloves, the hood is totally awesome enabling a very snug fit and fully closed up protects your neck and face up to nose...the pockets are positioned wisely assuming one would be carrying a pack and still be able to have access, and there is a pocket for iphone etc. ...and when you zip the jacket up, it also has velcro strips that will hold the jacket together should you want to unzip and get some ventilation. It is definitely windproof and the lambswool like stuff on the inside is awesomely comfortable and warm....I am 6'1" and weigh around 180 and the X Large fits me perfectly. To get a jacket with this degree of warmth, even if it gets wet (!!!!!) and number of quality features for serious mountaineering, for under $200 is freaking unbelievable....I hesitated to buy it trying a couple other down jackets first that were disappointing...I am a very very happy camper and would strongly recommend you give Montane a shot if you are looking to keep warm on the trail!

One of the best winter jacket you can find out there with such a low price. I live in Vancouver, Canada. Winter is about -3c to -4c in here, I can wear a short sleeves tee and this jacket on, and I would be warm enough to head out.

Best bit of outdoor kit I have owned. This is my second one, the first having finally worn out after eight years of hard use on mountain and canoe expeditions. I have worn this on trips around Scotland with just a baselayer underneath in rain, snow and freezing conditions staying perfectly warm and comfortable. It is not waterproof but only in torrential rain did I feel the need to put on a waterproof shell. Even if you did get wet through for some reason the jacket still keeps you warm and drys very quickly.It is an active jacket which means that on cold evenings around camp I put on something over the top like a Rab Generator jacket.

Received the item in good time though the first one was too large, (I'm athletic with a large chest so the sizing is a little off) however, the sellers refunded my purchase immediately with local fuss, top marks for that.Re_ordered the jacket in a smaller size (large), and I'm astonished at just how good it is, it's lighter than I thought it would be but unbelievablely warm without being too much, ice worn this on very chilly mornings (0 c) with a solid windchill wearing nothing but a t shirt under and I've been properly warm not just "ok" but actually warm, it takes a few minutes to warm up, but when it does it's just outstanding, I run cold and I've spent years trying to find a coat I could go through winter with without having to resort to wearing 3/4 layers, (down is all it useless in the wet), I can highly recommend this jacket, with a woolen sweater underneath you could easily stay warm to - 10 c or lower,.... Utterly brilliant!

An all time great, for modest money, which I bought for less than £50 on AmazonProbably the best £50 you could ever spend on a winter jacket !Search "Andy Kirkpatrick Best Softshell" and "Buffalo Pile Pertex" for more information on how the fibre pile and pertex system works, which is by using a water resistant pertex face fabric, and a warm and free draining fibre pile liner, together with ample ventilation options

Great waterproof jacket. Not a big name but a fantastic purchase nonetheless. I've bought them all over the years and this is real value for money. Extremely waterproof and warm, nice mini fishtail detail at the back to keep the backside warm is a nice touch. Zips are huge and the pockets are great.

Proper good. Its big. You look like some kind of eskimo but even on a mountain or in a tent at night after climbing mountains - you feel like a piece of toast. Toasted. Its nice

An excellent all round jacket with a good warm lining. This being the second jacket I have owned. Can recommend highly.

Heavy warm and reliable

Good quality, comfortable and warm. Not as warm as I was expecting given other reviews, but good enough for around town, during our recent hovering-around-zero cold spell, with a few layers underneath.

Top product. Seriously well made. Can't wait to try it out in some bad weather!🌨

Great Value and fit

Apart from being slightly larger than i expected this jacket is extremely warm, works fast and feels well made. would recommend.

Great product and service thanks

Awesome jacket for ski! Very warm, perfect for an active movement. Also good for walking around town.

Veste très légère ce qui ne l’empêche pas d'être chaude. Elle est également très souple. Elle devient un peu trop chaude lorsqu'on fait un peu plus de mouvements. Je la recommande comme veste d'hiver. A 2 degré je suis juste en sweat et cela suffit amplement.
