FAQs
What is Petrichor Technology?
Petrichor Technology is Montane's proprietary fabric used in this jacket, offering a highly breathable (RET 7) and waterproof (20,000mm) 3-layer construction designed for active use in the mountains.
Is the jacket treated with PFC/PFAS chemicals?
No, this jacket is constructed without the intentional use of PFC/PFAS chemicals, aligning with environmental best practices.
How do I wash my Torren Jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a technical cleaner. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat.
Can I wear a helmet with this jacket?
Yes, the hood is specifically designed to be helmet-compatible, providing full coverage and protection without compromising visibility.
What does 'RET 7' breathability mean?
RET stands for 'Resistance to Evaporative Heat Transfer'. A lower RET value indicates higher breathability. RET 7 is considered highly breathable, suitable for intense aerobic activities.
How should I care for the DWR finish?
The DWR finish can be reactivated by a brief tumble dry after washing. If performance diminishes, reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Are the pockets accessible with a harness?
Yes, the pockets are strategically positioned to be accessible even when wearing a climbing harness or a backpack with a hip belt.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the jacket's surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable PFC-free DWR treatment, then tumble dry briefly to reactivate.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of dirt or debris. Gently run a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure internal pockets are empty and pit zips are open if needed. The jacket may require cleaning to remove body oils and dirt that can impede breathability.
Hood adjustment is not secure.
Check that all drawcords and toggles are properly threaded and functioning. Ensure the hood is correctly positioned before tightening.
