Montane’s AW24 Alpine 850 Nano already features revolutionary ExpeDRY technology - from AW25, every Montane down jacket will deliver this same gold-standard performance.
London, UK – December 10, 2024 – Montane's Alpine 850 Nano, part of its AW24 collection, was the first Montane jacket to feature ExpeDRY, and it has quickly become a favourite for its exceptional performance in the mountains.
Now, the British performance clothing and equipment brand has revealed that starting with the AW25 collection, all Montane down jackets will be equipped with ExpeDRY down insulation.
Powered by gold-infused down, ExpeDRY offers the ultimate solution for extreme weather, ensuring unparalleled warmth and accelerated drying in the harshest conditions. Montane is the first brand to adopt this revolutionary down insulation technology across its entire range of down jackets.
Leading the way with the Alpine 850 Nano
The Alpine 850 Nano combines ExpeDRY down with strategically placed synthetic insulation in high-moisture areas. This combination provides even more warmth for the weight and ensures that you stay dry and comfortable in the most demanding environments.
The Gold Standard of Insulation
Down has long been considered the benchmark in insulation for its superior warmth-to-weight ratio and remarkable compressibility. However, traditional down insulation struggles in wet conditions, losing its loft, structure, and heat-trapping properties if wet. It can take longer than synthetic insulation to dry, leaving you cold and uncomfortable in wet weather.
ExpeDRY closes this performance gap by infusing microscopic gold particles into the down clusters. These gold particles create an electrostatic shield that prevents moisture from being absorbed, allowing the down to remain dry and efficient for longer periods. As a result, ExpeDRY down is able to stay warmer, drier, and more effective, even in high-humidity conditions, and will dry out faster if it does get wet.
Key Benefits of ExpeDRY Down:
- Prevents the down from absorbing moisture when you’re active in the mountains
- Stops water vapour within the down turning into water droplets
- Keeps you comfortable using technology that will last for the lifetime of the product
- Dries faster if it does get wet
- Makes home laundry easier with and quicker drying times
- Gives higher performance with easier aftercare.
