FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Montane Featherlite Jacket is primarily windproof and water-resistant, designed to protect against wind and light showers. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy rain.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical wash. Avoid fabric conditioners and bleach. Follow the specific care label instructions for best results.
Can I wear a fleece underneath?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. A lightweight fleece or insulating mid-layer can be worn underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.
What does 'ultra-packable' mean?
It means the jacket is designed to compress down to a very small size, making it easy to fit into a small pocket of a backpack without taking up much space.
How do I maintain the windproof properties?
Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Periodically re-apply a DWR finish according to the product's instructions to restore water-repellent and wind-resistant performance.
What is the purpose of the reflective detailing?
The branded reflective detailing on the front and arm is designed to increase your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or overcast weather, enhancing safety during outdoor activities.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for activities like hiking, trail running, walking, and trekking, especially in windy conditions. It can also be used as a casual layer for everyday wear when wind protection is needed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight
Adjust the cinchable drawcord at the hem and ensure the YKK front zip is fully closed. Consider if a larger size is needed for a looser fit.
Wind protection seems reduced
Check the integrity of the Wind Barrier Dynamic fabric. Ensure the cuffs and hem are properly adjusted. Re-apply a DWR finish if necessary.
Zipper is stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Jacket is not breathable
Ensure the internal wind strip is properly aligned and not obstructing ventilation. Check for any blockages in the fabric weave if visible. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to remove any residue.
