Product Information

Full details

The Montane Norste Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult females seeking reliable wet weather protection during outdoor activities like walking, trekking, and hiking. Its key benefit is durable, highly waterproof, and breathable performance thanks to Pertex Shield fabric, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is its focus on core wet weather protection, meaning it may not have extensive features for extreme cold weather layering beyond a standard fit.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Pertex Shield fabric?

Pertex Shield fabric provides a balance of being highly waterproof and highly breathable, ensuring you stay dry from both external weather and internal moisture during activity.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The Norste Jacket has a regular fit suitable for layering. You can wear insulating layers underneath for colder conditions, but it is primarily designed as a waterproof shell rather than an insulated jacket.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and care. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric surface. Typically, this might be after several washes or extended periods of heavy use.

Are the YKK AquaGuard zips completely waterproof?

YKK AquaGuard zips are highly water-resistant and designed to keep water out effectively. However, in prolonged submersion or extreme conditions, some minimal water ingress might be possible.

What type of detergent should I use for washing?

It is recommended to use a technical wash or a small amount of non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or biological detergents, as they can damage the fabric's performance and DWR coating.

What does the 'PIVOT 2' hood adjustment system do?

The PIVOT 2 system allows for independent adjustment of the hood's aperture (opening) and crown (top), enabling a precise fit that provides maximum weather protection while maintaining clear visibility.

What is the hydrostatic head (HH) and MVTR rating?

The hydrostatic head (HH) of 20,000mm indicates the fabric's high level of waterproofness. The Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) of 20,000g/m²/24hrs signifies its excellent breathability, allowing significant moisture vapor to escape.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer beading water

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Ensure the jacket is properly dried to activate the treatment.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the YKK AquaGuard zips with a soft brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or salt residue. Ensure they are completely dry before use. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside

Ensure the jacket is clean; dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Check that internal vents or pit zips (if present) are open during activity.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Familiarize yourself with the PIVOT 2 system's aperture and crown adjustments. Ensure the cord locks are clean and free of debris. Consult the product manual or online resources for specific adjustment techniques.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for staying dry.
  • Lightweight and packable design for easy transport.
  • Adjustable hood system provides a secure and personalized fit.
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged outdoor use.
  • YKK AquaGuard zips offer reliable water resistance.

Cons

  • May lack advanced features for extreme cold weather conditions.

  • Non-fluorocarbon DWR may require more frequent reapplication than traditional treatments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Montane Norste Jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the hood and cuffs to your fit. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before heading out.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult females and is suitable for pairing with a wide range of mid-layers, from lightweight fleeces to synthetic insulated jackets, depending on the ambient temperature and activity level. It's ideal for activities such as walking, trekking, and hiking.

Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a technical wash or a small amount of non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the DWR finish. Alternatively, hang dry and iron on a low heat (no steam), placing a towel or piece of cloth between the iron and the jacket.
  4. Re-proofing: If the DWR finish appears to be losing effectiveness (water no longer beads on the surface), re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear.
