Product Information
Full details
The Montane Tenacity XT Hooded Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for mountaineers and climbers who require a rugged, high-performance layer that balances breathability with weather protection. Engineered with Granite Stretch Thermal fabric, it offers exceptional mobility through its four-way stretch and articulated construction, making it perfect for intense vertical pursuits. While it provides excellent moisture management and durability, users should note that as a softshell, it is designed for breathability rather than complete waterproof protection in heavy storms.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant and wind-resistant, suitable for mountain environments, but it is not a fully seam-taped waterproof shell.
Can I wear this with a climbing harness?
Yes, the hand pockets are positioned specifically to remain accessible while wearing a climbing harness.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from Granite Stretch Thermal double-weave fabric.
Is the hood compatible with a climbing helmet?
Yes, the hood is fully adjustable and specifically designed to be worn over a climbing helmet.
How should I wash this jacket?
Use a gentle machine wash in cool water with a technical detergent; do not use fabric softeners.
Does it have a two-way zipper?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or not moving smoothly
Check for debris or dirt in the zipper teeth. Clean with a soft brush and water, then apply a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Water repellency seems to be decreasing
Wash the jacket to remove oils and dirt, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish. If it still persists, apply a technical DWR re-proofer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Montane Tenacity XT, proper care is essential. Always wash the garment in cool water using a technical gear cleaner or mild detergent to maintain the fabric's properties. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the moisture-management capabilities of the double-weave material. Tumble dry on a low heat setting if necessary to help reactivate any water-repellent finish. For compatibility, the jacket is designed as a technical outer layer; it works best over a base layer during high-output activities or over a light mid-layer during stationary periods. Ensure that all YKK zippers are cleared of grit after dusty or muddy climbs to prevent wear on the zipper teeth.
