In short
Good for
- Cold-weather hill days, scrambling and climbing where freedom of movement matters (Montane: hiking, walking, climbing)
- A warm layer under or over a shell on cold camp evenings, with an under-helmet hood
- Active use in the cold: the fleece sleeves and hood are stretchy and brushed inside (Montane's description)
Strengths
- 460 g listed weight, in the 450-599 g band
- 82 g (size M) of 750+ fill power duck down with a PFC-free water-repellent treatment, RDS certified
- 20D Pertex Quantum body with a 3D woven baffle construction (no stitch lines), 2-way stretch and windproof
- Thermo Stretch fleece sleeves and hood, a high-collared hood that fits under a helmet, YKK front zip with storm guard and two zipped hand pockets
- Montane guarantees it for life against faults in workmanship and materials
Weaknesses
- Warmth, damp performance and durability aren't scored: only one independent test of this jacket found
- No packed size published, and Montane gives the fill power only as "750+" with no test method
- Not waterproof: the DWR sheds light rain and snow only
