Product Information

Full details

For adult females seeking reliable wet weather protection during outdoor adventures, the Montane Norste Waterproof Jacket offers a key benefit of durable, highly waterproof performance in a lightweight, packable design. A potential caveat is its focus on core wet weather functionality, which may mean less emphasis on features for extremely cold or highly technical conditions. This jacket excels in rainy environments, built with PERTEX® Shield 3-layer fabric for complete waterproofness and breathability, featuring a PIVOT 2 adjustable hood for maintained visibility, and YKK® AQUAGUARD® zips for added element protection. Its regular fit allows for comfortable layering, making it suitable for walking, trekking, and hiking.

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The Montane Norste Waterproof Jacket is designed for reliable protection in wet and windy conditions, making it ideal for rain, wind, and general adverse weather during outdoor activities.

Is this jacket insulated?

No, this jacket is an uninsulated waterproof shell. It is designed to be worn over other layers, allowing you to adjust your insulation based on the temperature.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a small amount of liquid, non-biological detergent. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softener and bleach.

What is PERTEX® Shield?

PERTEX® Shield is a highly breathable and waterproof fabric technology used in outdoor apparel to protect against the elements while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

What does 'Hydrostatic Head' and 'MVTR' mean?

Hydrostatic Head (HH) measures waterproofness (20,000mm indicates high waterproofness). MVTR (Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate) measures breathability (20,000g/m²/24hrs indicates high breathability).

Can I wear a thick fleece under this jacket?

Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate layering, so a standard fleece or insulated jacket should fit comfortably underneath.

How do I re-apply the water repellent finish?

After washing and drying, apply a suitable DWR treatment (like Nikwax or Grangers) according to the product's instructions. This helps maintain the jacket's water-shedding capabilities.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. If the fabric 'wets out' (absorbs water), it may need re-applying. Check all seams and zipper closures for damage.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant sparingly if needed.

Hood is not adjusting properly

Check that the adjustment cords are not tangled or blocked. Ensure all parts of the PIVOT 2 system are free from debris.

Reduced breathability

Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Ensure the DWR is functioning to prevent the outer fabric from becoming saturated.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Montane Norste Waterproof Jacket requires no assembly. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before wearing to maximize weather protection. Adjust the hood using the PIVOT 2 system and cinch cords at the hem and cuffs for a secure fit.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer shell for wet weather protection. It is compatible with various base layers and mid-layers, including fleeces and lightweight insulated jackets, due to its regular fit. It is suitable for a wide range of outdoor pursuits such as walking, trekking, and hiking.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a small amount of liquid, non-biological detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all traces of detergent.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Re-proofing: For best results, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing, following the product instructions. Nikwax or Grangers are recommended.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in plastic bags for extended periods.
