FAQs

What is the hydrostatic head rating of this jacket?

The Montane Norste XT Waterproof Jacket has a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.

How does the PIVOT 2 hood system work?

The PIVOT 2 hood is engineered to allow for increased head movement and better peripheral vision while maintaining a secure fit and effective weather protection. It features a structured peak to keep rain away from the face.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical fabric wash. Avoid biological detergents and fabric softeners.

What does 'MVTR' mean for breathability?

MVTR stands for Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate. A rating of 20,000g/m²/24hr indicates that the jacket can allow 20,000 grams of water vapor to pass through one square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying good breathability.

What is the benefit of the non-fluorocarbon DWR?

A non-fluorocarbon DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment provides water resistance without using chemicals like PFCs (perfluorinated compounds), which are harmful to the environment.

How do I reapply the waterproofing if it wears off?

You can reactivate the existing DWR by tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting after washing. If effectiveness has significantly reduced, a technical spray-on DWR product can be applied according to its instructions.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the jacket's surface

Reactivate the DWR treatment by tumble drying on a low heat for 20 minutes or applying a technical spray-on DWR product. Follow care instructions carefully.

Front zip is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zip is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the zip up and down. If necessary, apply a small amount of wax to the teeth, avoiding the fabric.

Reduced breathability

The jacket may require cleaning to remove dirt and oils that can clog the membrane pores. Follow the washing instructions provided.

Hood adjustment is not secure

Ensure the drawcords are correctly threaded and the toggles are fully engaged. Check for any damage to the drawcords or toggles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection.
  • Highly breathable, suitable for intense activities.
  • Durable construction with ripstop face fabric.
  • Articulated hood design allows for unimpeded head movement.
  • Uses recycled and non-fluorocarbon DWR for reduced environmental impact.

Cons

  • May be overkill for light rain or casual use.
  • Technical features might be complex for beginners.
  • Lighter fabrics might be less durable against severe abrasion than heavier options.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket requires no setup. Ensure all zips are fully closed and adjust the hood and cuffs for a secure fit before heading outdoors.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this jacket can be layered over baselayers, mid-layers (like fleece or lightweight insulated jackets), and can be worn with a helmet underneath the hood. It is compatible with most outdoor trousers and rucksacks.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a technical fabric wash. Do not use biological detergents or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Once dry, iron on a low heat setting (one dot) to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment. Alternatively, use a technical spray-on DWR to re-apply waterproofing if water no longer beads on the surface.
  4. Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags for long periods.
