Montane Featherlite Windproof Jacket - Grey - L

No, the Montane Featherlite Jacket is windproof and water-resistant, designed primarily to protect against wind and light rain, not heavy downpours.

It is ideal for high-aerobic outdoor activities such as hiking, trail running, cycling, and trekking, where wind protection and breathability are key.

While you can layer a fleece, the jacket is designed for a close fit to minimize bulk. For very cold conditions with a thick mid-layer, consider a slightly larger size or a different jacket.

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

This specific model, the Featherlite Jacket, does not feature a hood. It has a close-fit collar for protection.

It means the jacket can be compressed into a very small size, making it easy to stow in a backpack or bag without taking up much space.

You can reapply a DWR treatment periodically using a spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel to restore its water-repellent properties.

Ensure the main zipper is open slightly or that you are wearing breathable base layers. The jacket is windproof but not fully waterproof, so heavy exertion can lead to internal condensation.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Ensure the zipper pull is aligned correctly before zipping.

Verify that all zippers and cuffs are secured. The Wind Barrier Dynamic fabric is wind-resistant, not entirely impermeable, to maintain breathability. Ensure the hem drawcord is tightened for a snug fit.
