FAQs

Is the Montane Norste Lite Jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with a Pertex Shield laminate membrane that is both windproof and waterproof.

Can I wear this in winter?

The jacket is designed for rain and wind protection. It can be worn in winter as a shell layer over an insulating mid-layer.

Does it come with a hood?

Yes, the jacket features a fully adjustable hood to protect against rain and wind.

How do I re-waterproof the jacket?

You can reactivate the existing DWR by applying low heat (tumble dry) or re-apply a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for technical shells.

What material is the jacket made of?

The outer shell is constructed from high-quality, durable nylon.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak through the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore beading properties.

Jacket feels damp on the inside

This is often condensation from sweat rather than rain leakage. Ensure you are layering appropriately for your activity level to allow moisture to escape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to pack
  • High-performance waterproof and windproof protection
  • Adjustable features for a customizable fit
  • Water-resistant YKK Aquaguard zippers

Cons

  • Minimalist pocket configuration
  • No underarm ventilation zips
  • Designed primarily for rain protection rather than extreme insulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the Pertex Shield membrane, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wash in warm water (30C) using a technical fabric cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can compromise the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  2. Drying: Line dry whenever possible. If the jacket begins to 'wet out' during rain, tumble dry on a low setting or iron on a cool setting (with a cloth between the iron and jacket) to help reactivate the DWR coating.
  3. Fit: The regular fit allows for layering a fleece or a light down jacket underneath, making it a versatile choice for variable mountain temperatures.
  4. Storage: Always store the jacket completely dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold growth on the laminate.
