Montane tend to cater for a specific user as opposed to creating garments that do everything for everyone.

This makes them an ideal choice for keeping you dry on a wide range of activities, whether you’re looking for everyday use or missions in the mountains! With a 30 denier face fabric combined with a Gore-Tex Paclite® Plus membrane you get abrasion resistance inside and out. Balancing weather protection with functionality, the Spirit makes a good versatile lightweight waterproof option; an ideal kit companion easily stashing away in your pack ready for when the weather changes. The toggles are unfortunately of the old fashioned small and external variety, which are a fiddle when wearing gloves, but at least the ends of elastic are directed down inside the jacket to prevent them whipping you in the eye when it's gusty. It should come as little surprise, but the Montane Pac Plus XT Waterproof Jacket certainly lives up to its name; it packs.From the Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra to the Montane Lakeland 100, this is one of the main areas where we believe endurance is being tested to the absolute limit and where Montane products thrive. YKK Aquaguard zips are used throughout - water resistant, if not fully waterproof (none really are in wind-driven downpours). Comfort-wise, there’s lots to enjoy here, from the carefully designed front zip and stiffening and protective storm flap, through to the excellent hood that will protect you from whatever the elements throw at you. The GORE-TEX PACLITE PLUS technology ensures you stay dry and the comfortable dry-touch backer enables quick transfer of vapour through to the outside of the fabric.

In terms of waterproof-breathable performance, Gore-Tex Paclite Plus is just as waterproof as other types of Gore-Tex, with a Hydrostatic Head in excess of 28,000mm. 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.Incorporating a variety of technologies, including GORE-TEX® and PERTEX®, our women’s waterproof jackets and rain coats are lightweight, breathable and durable. Previous generations of Paclite would stick to your skin and feel particularly clammy, something that isn’t the case with Paclite Plus. The fully adjustable roll-away hood also features a stiffened peak to keep driven rain off your face and the two hand pockets are designed to take an OS map. As a waterproof to tote along in case it rains, this is the shell you want to be pulling out when it does.

With a diamond crotch, and a decent cut at the knee, these overtrousers offer good leg movement, and I've worn them all day without feeling at all restricted.

The pit zips were easily accessible and had a small amount of cord on the zip so they can be easily found and pulled. I've had both jacket and trousers on review for several months, taking me from midwinter, through what passed for the highland spring, and into summer.

The Montane Men's Pac Plus Jacket is expertly crafted for mountain walking and long-distance trekking. Using 100% recycled GORE-TEX PACLITE® PLUS technology, the Pac Plus XT Jacket balances low weight and packability whilst still being rich in mountain features such as a helmet hood, 3 pockets and pit zips which can be used for venting when working hard climbing, scrambling or mountain walking.

The waist and hem are fitted with a simple drawcord system that can, in theory, be adjusted using only one hand. A brace of pit zips aim to boost breathability and cover off high-activity moments, while both front pockets are mesh-backed, allowing some air circulation too. The Montane Pac Plus GORE-TEX jacket is a waterproof shell layer designed to keep you dry and comfortable in the harshest weather.It's surprising how often hood designs let jackets down, and despite getting some key basics right, Montane haven't quite pulled it off here.
