Montane Norste Lite Waterproof Jacket - Black - S

It is designed as a lightweight shell. While it offers excellent waterproof protection, it lacks the thermal insulation needed for deep winter or severe mountaineering conditions.

If water begins to soak into the face fabric instead of beading up and rolling off, it is time to wash and treat the jacket with a DWR replenisher.

Yes, its lightweight, windproof, and breathable qualities make it a great choice for cycling in wet conditions.

It refers to a protective shell with a waterproof membrane and a thin internal 'half-layer' coating, which makes it lighter and more packable than 3-layer jackets.

The hood is fully adjustable, but it is optimized for a regular fit rather than specifically sized to fit over large climbing helmets.

The Norste Lite does not feature dedicated pit zips, relying instead on the high breathability of the Pertex Shield fabric.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical DWR waterproofing spray.

While breathable, the membrane can be overwhelmed. Adjust your layering system to reduce heat and moisture buildup.

Clean any grit or debris from the zipper teeth using a soft brush; do not force the zip.
