Montane Mens Extreme Softshell Jacket

Product Information

So if you are going to stand around you need to layer up, however with the none accommodating cuffs that's going to be a problem with a long sleeved t shirt and a pullover (all cotton base) I was wetter than ever when walking on Thurs is snowy windy conditions, wearing merino wool and hardshell, just to test out the system. Buffalo never leaves me actually feeling damp and miserable, and is always warm. Plus I have a problem with overheating but the side zips work fine for me. Basically whatever you wear when precipitation is in the air, you will get wet. Its up to you how you decide to deal with it. I agree for walking soft shell is very often better than hard. personally for climbing I just don't find that. My last comment may leave you about being drenched in sweat. Don’t be. The fleece lining doesn’t hold moisture and excess will soon run off. Even if some rain gets through the Pertex shell it will soon shed.

MONTANE EXTREME JACKET - Silvermans

Traditionally with pile-Pertex, that protection’s come at the price of mobility, but while the Extreme’s certainly not some sleekly-tailored torso-hugging stretch soft shell, the tweaks to the cut and the articulated sleeves in particular means that ease of movement – reaching up or out in particular – feels fine. The Montane looked better, fit better had better features ( detachable hood, cordura on high wear areas etc) BUT… it fell apart. Discover the perfect balance of functionality, durability, and style with Montane's outdoor clothing and equipment range. I have a Montane extreme and its fantastic for winter outdoor work (not hard graft, but fiddly fettly jobs outside, standing about, bit of moving, carrying that sort of stuff). The cuffs overlay good gloves, the hood is well fitted and its a good length, in large, for my 5’10”. The venting is better than my old buffalo, but that’s years ago and I guess they’ve improved.Out there, away from ordinary. To measure your commitment on the remotest summits. Test your resolve through the worst kinds of weather. And sharpen your appetite on hard won miles. The rest of the time it’s all you need, and a few hours of ordinary rain isn’t going to bother it IMO.

Montane Extreme Jacket | LD Mountain Centre

Needs to be full length zip, definitely warm, and will be used for lots of dog walking (I feel the cold) and general out and about. Not for climbing, working outdoors or high energy outdoors. Want warmth as the main thing. I think they aren't as warm when they get older as the pile seems to lose it's umphh- technical term!. As above, I found the Montane a better all rounder. The cut is better, zip placement better with wind flaps (my really old mk1 grey and red buffalo was a pain for freezing nips of air when winter climbing from the zips). Now with the hard shell system I use, I also don't walk in wearing the shell. I carry one standard weight fleece one very light fleece (as well as a base layer). That way my bag is fairly light and unbulky wrt the clothing in it and I have a good choice of clothes to wear during the day depending on the conditions. My montane extreme is the big dogs knob. Warm, tough, a good fit, the toasiest hood in the world and all for 80 notes. I do still carry a hard shell if the weather looks grim but I rarely use it.I think Rab has basically opted for a slightly less than 100% windproof outer to improve breathability and you do need to add a shell layer if it’s properly windy. This piece is designed to be worn primarilyas an outer layer, no matter what the weather is doing. You can pop a shell over the top in horrendous conditions, but thanks to the pile lining and water resistant outer fabric, you'll most likely never want to. In Alaska, I wore a merino wool base layer and there was little room for anything else. Kinds of proves how effective the Extreme range is at keeping you warm. My only problem with it is that on the bike the side vents are a hassle if you want to use them while riding (not at any other time). Also soft shell failed too many times for me in Scottish conditions as the spin drift kept melting on the outer layer and eventually it would soak through and I would be damp and unhappy. So you still need to carry a hard shell anyway. Also consider if the walk in is in rain which isn't at all unusual.

You still know you’re wearing a bulky garment, but it’s a non-restrictive bulky garment, if that makes any sense. Designed to allow flexibility, the arms have been articulated with fine microfleece inner arm panels to prevent pile constructing over elbows and biceps, and an adjustable hem too prevents spindrift entry and heat loss. A removable crotch strap also prevents hem lift when you reach up high. Fully adjustable and removable pile lined helmet compatible mountain hood with three point adjustment and wired peak I have a buffalo special 6 shirt and my friend has the montane extreme. Both were used last March on an impromptu night out without sleeping bags and both worked very well: the weather was -3C and it was very frosty. Pile-Pertex is arguably the original non-wayerproof, but wear all day, single-layer soft shell system. The exterior Pertex shell is completely windproof and decently water resistant, while a deep pile lining adds effective insulation.
