Montane Clothing & Equipment: Buying Advice
Montane designs technical clothing and equipment for people who want to move comfortably and efficiently outdoors. From lightweight walking layers to waterproof jackets and technical rucksacks, the range is particularly suited to hiking, mountain walking, trail running and fastpacking.
Montane Jackets, Fleeces & Layering
Choosing the right Montane jacket depends on the conditions and how active you'll be. Waterproof jackets provide an outer layer for wet weather, while insulated jackets help retain warmth when temperatures drop. For higher-output activities, breathable fleeces and softshell jackets can offer a comfortable balance of warmth, flexibility and ventilation.
Montane's technical trousers, shorts and baselayers complete the layering system, with options designed for different temperatures, terrain and levels of activity.
Montane Rucksacks & Packs
For mountain walking and fastpacking, Montane offers lightweight carrying solutions designed to keep essential equipment close and accessible. The Trailblazer range combines a stable, body-hugging fit with practical storage, making it particularly relevant for walkers and runners covering longer distances.
When choosing a Montane pack, consider the capacity you need, the weight of your equipment and whether you prefer easy access to essentials while moving.
