Montane Phase Pro Shell GTX Waterproof Jacket - Grey - M

GORE-TEX 3L Pro Shell is a highly breathable, durably waterproof, and windproof fabric technology. The '3L' signifies a 3-layer construction, which sandwiches the GORE-TEX membrane between a tough outer face fabric and a special inner liner, providing robust protection and comfort for demanding outdoor activities.

While highly waterproof, the Phase Pro Shell GTX Jacket is engineered for high-output activities in harsh conditions. For lighter, everyday rain, a less technical jacket might suffice, but this jacket will offer superior protection and durability if you frequently face severe weather.

Machine wash on a warm cycle (40°C) using a technical wash or a small amount of non-biological liquid detergent. Rinse twice and tumble dry on a low heat until completely dry to help reactivate the DWR finish.

The jacket weighs approximately 410g.

Yes, the hood is designed with a fully adjustable system and a reinforced peak to accommodate a climbing or mountaineering helmet, providing effective coverage while you wear it.

Regular washing with a technical cleaner and reactivating the DWR finish through heat (tumble dry or ironing) is key. If performance significantly degrades, a new DWR treatment spray can be applied after cleaning.

The cinchable hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket to seal out drafts and prevent heat loss, which is crucial in cold or windy conditions.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat or ironing as per the care instructions. If this doesn't restore performance, consider applying a new DWR treatment.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and undamaged. If damage is suspected, contact the manufacturer. For minor leaks, ensure the jacket is clean and dry; a reapplication of DWR might offer some surface protection but won't fix seam tape issues.

Clean the YKK AQUAGUARD zip with a soft brush and water to remove dirt or salt. Gently lubricate the zip with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil tip. Avoid using wax-based products that can attract dirt.

This can indicate reduced breathability, often due to contamination of the fabric's membrane. Ensure the jacket is washed regularly with a technical cleaner and rinsed thoroughly. Check that the internal storm flap is correctly positioned and not hindering ventilation.
