At first appearance it looks like any other waterproof, with a pretty standard fit and weighing in at around 460g for a medium. When you drill down, though, there's a lot of work gone into reducing its impact on the environment. We've spend a few months putting it to the test in the Peak District and North Wales to see if this sustainable focus has any impact on functionality.
What Montane say:
The waterproof jacket that combines performance with durability, using recycled materials.
The Montane Men’s Solution Waterproof Jacket delivers PFC-free, second-life performance with a 100% recycled PERTEX SHIELD REVOLVE outer that has been solution dyed to save 50% water, and recycled zips and adjustments. We challenged ourselves to create a waterproof jacket where every development decision was made to reduce its impact. Hard-wearing fabrics combine with an award-winning, timeless design, including innovative dual-function front pockets whose YKK AQUAGUARD zips keep out moisture, while their dual sliders provide venting for increased breathability. Articulated sleeves move with your body when the trail gets rugged, and the front-adjustable, peak-strengthened hood can change gears with you, to go over a helmet or beanie.
