FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Pertex Shield fabric?

Pertex Shield fabric provides a strong combination of waterproof protection and breathability, ensuring you stay dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.

How do I adjust the hood for optimal protection and visibility?

Use the PIVOT 2 hood adjustment system, which features separate controls for the aperture and crown. Fine-tune these individually to achieve a secure fit that keeps weather out while maintaining clear vision.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate layering. You can wear a warm fleece or insulated jacket underneath for added warmth in colder temperatures.

How often should I re-apply the water-repellent treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. Typically, after several washes or significant wear, re-treatment may be necessary.

What does the 20,000mm hydrostatic head rating mean?

A 20,000mm hydrostatic head rating signifies that the fabric can withstand a column of water 20,000mm high before water penetrates it. This indicates a high level of waterproofness, suitable for heavy rain and wet conditions.

Is the jacket suitable for high-exertion activities?

Yes, its high breathability rating (20,000g/m²/24hrs) makes it suitable for activities involving significant physical exertion, as it helps to vent moisture vapor away from the body.

What is the environmental benefit of the non-fluorocarbon DWR?

Using a non-fluorocarbon DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment avoids the use of PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals), which are persistent in the environment and can have negative ecological impacts.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the jacket's surface

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR product according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no dirt or debris is obstructing the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry outside

This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Consider washing and re-proofing. Also, ensure inner layers are not overly insulating for the conditions, which can lead to excessive internal condensation.

Hood adjustment is not holding its position

Check the drawcords and toggles for any damage or wear. Ensure the toggles are fully tightened. If the issue persists, the cord lock mechanism might be worn and may require replacement.

Pros and Cons

  • Lightweight and easily packable for travel and emergencies
  • Effective hood adjustment system for visibility and protection
  • Durable construction with quality YKK AquaGuard zippers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Montane Norste Jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the hood and cuffs to your preference upon first wear. Ensure all zippers are fully closed to maximize weather protection.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer shell for adult females. It is compatible with various mid-layers, such as fleece jackets or insulated vests, thanks to its regular fit. It pairs well with waterproof trousers and sturdy hiking footwear for complete wet-weather gear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a technical softshell detergent. Do not use powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for approximately 20 minutes to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. Alternatively, hang dry and iron on a low heat setting, placing a towel or cloth between the iron and the jacket.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a water-repellent finish (such as Nikwax TX.Direct or Grangers Performance Repel Plus) following the product's instructions, especially if water is no longer beading on the surface.
