Montane Mens Pacplus Jacket RRP £220

Product Information

With a hydrostatic head of 28,000mm (what this mean is, you would need to stand a 28m column of water on any given part of the shell before moisture penetrates through the material), the jacket does an exceptional job of keeping you dry. Montane recommend you only use the pocket to stuff the jacket, unless you want to risk damaging the material. The Pac Plus XT is actually an evolution of the Montane Pac Plus jacket, which was released in 2020. A full-length YKK AQUAGUARD front zip is backed by a internal storm flap and the two-way design allows you to belay and climb without compromising on protection.

With an array of features, this jacket ought to satisfy even the most demanding hillwalker, as well as most climbers given its excellent cut and great hood design. Where product tags have been removed, even if they have been re-attached, Mountain Kit will not be able to refund the product. Although lightweight and flexible, the Pac Plus is a hardshell, but you’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise given the weight and level of waterproofing. With YKK Aquaguard® water resistant zippers all round the Montane Pac Plus XT Jacket is a great packable lightweight waterproof option for the winter months. Our team are working extended hours to get through this as quickly as possible, we ask you to be patient during this busy time.We loved Montane's Spine jacket, and felt that for running in harsh conditions it would be hard to beat.

Montane Pac Plus Black Waterproof Pants The Montane Pac Plus waterproof pants are perfect for your face paced mountain activities! You've experienced consistent -30C and felt the low of -40C, you're cold and alone and you still have 174 miles to go to the finish line.Despite the low weight – just 350g for a size 12 – it includes underarm zips and the Montane Women’s Pac Plus XT also has a nice brushed fleece chin guard. It's worth remembering that different labs may achieve different figures, not all companies use the same test criteria, and some fabric manufacturers don't headline their numbers in consumer material in the first place.

The hood felt pretty big to begin with, it had plenty of room for a helmet under there if you needed one. If you're taking it winter climbing then you'll just have to have realistic expectations of its relative longevity: think spring ice climbing on The Ben, or speeding along a classic snowy ridge, rather than squirming up a granite chimney in rivers of January spindrift (I'm not really up for that either). The fully adjustable helmet compatible hood also features a stiffened peak to keep driven rain and snow off your face and the two hand pockets are designed to take an OS map. Here Montane have paired the Gore-Tex Paclite Plus membrane with a far thicker 150D Nylon fabric than that used on the jacket.One of those pockets also acts as the stuff sack, allowing the jacket to fold into it for storage when not in use. If your item is under warranty, please contact us so that we can resolve the claim in the best and most timely manner. These stretchy polymers are able to stretch and move with the fabric so they stay put for longer and work better. The helmet-compatible hood is easily adjusted to fit the largest of helmets, and heads like mine, without restricting your range of movement. For over 25 years Montane has worked closely with serious mountain professionals working in hostile conditions across the globe as a proving ground for garment design.

The main zip has an internal strip to help keep draughts out and to channel away any water that does find its way through, though I've noticed this strip tends to fold back on itself so I suspect it's not always reliably in position. With YKK Aquaguard® water resistant zippers all round he Montane Pac Plus Jacket is a great packable lightweight waterproof option.
