Estimate from maker's specs
In short
Good for
- Hillwalking and winter hill days in a roomy 3-layer GORE-TEX shell
- Walkers who want an extended body length for coverage when sitting or bent under a pack
- Buyers who want a PFAS-free GORE-TEX membrane from a UK brand
Strengths
- 3-layer GORE-TEX Performance with an ePE membrane, which Montane says has no intentional PFAS
- Fully adjustable PIVOT 2 hood with separate crown and aperture adjustment (both reviewers used it with a helmet, though Montane's page doesn't say it's helmet-compatible)
- Pit zips, pack-compatible pockets and an extended body length
- BARRIER hems and openings and a SEW-FREE bonded pocket and zip construction
Weaknesses
- Montane doesn't say the seams are fully taped, so rain protection is an estimate, not a reviewed score
- Weather protection and durability are estimates, not reviewed scores: only 2 independent tests of this version found
- 455 g (Montane's figure), heavier than many GORE-TEX shells
- No external chest pocket (Cool of the Wild); the chest pocket is inside (Climbing Gear Reviews)
