Montane Mens Duality Jacket RRP £280

Product Information

This gives a total 120g thickness over your chest and belly, just where it's appreciated (your rucksack helps insulate the lighter-clad back after all). Though the three jackets are a similar weight I feel (marginally) warmest and best protected from the elements in the Fitzroy.

He finds the Montane Flux, Rab Generator Alpine and Mountain Equipment Fitzroy are just as good for walkers as climbers. The hood is fully insulated, and has three adjustment points, one cinch around the crown and two around the face. For general winter hillwalking it's a decent hood, and certainly keeps the weather out; but it's not brilliant for helmet wearers. It should also be weatherproof - if not genuinely waterproof – since it'll be exposed to the outside elements and might well be sitting on top of an already-wet waterproof too.of Primaloft Gold is made from recycled polyester and still provides with exceptional warmth at a very light weight.

The Montane Women’s Duality Lite Waterproof Jacket is an all-in-one cold and wet weather jacket that protects against extreme winter elements. Filling: The Flux is the only jacket of the three to use Primaloft Eco (min 50% recycled content); I can't say I notice a difference in use. This jacket also packs down small, perfect for stuffing away in your running vest when no longer needed. Though aimed primarily at climbers these jackets are just as suited to winter walking; rather better, in some respects.

It also doesn’t have internal pockets which annoys me (hence my interest in this thread as I’m looking for similar, I also want a detachable hood). This 'all-in-one' jacket excels by shielding you from rain and delivering much-needed warmth when facing inclement weather. To resolve your query efficiently we use a claim form and case / ticket system, complete the form, add all the details required, and we'll get straight on to sorting it out. They are broadly similar in look, weight and performance, all with Primaloft inside and tough, lightweight, weather-shedding outers. Inner Fabric: The inner fabric of the Duality is a PEAQ synthetic ECO lining that is supremely comfortable next to skin and is highly breathable.

As the body begins to sweat, or when you start to overheat, the fabric allows there to be a steady airflow in and out of the jacket, which will work to keep the body feeling cool and comfortable.We use marketing, analytical and functional cookies as well as similar technologies to give you the best experience. Unzip below the chin and movement is much eased; fine unless the weather's really foul (that's quite a lot of the time, though). There’s a fully adjustable roll away hood which is insulated for keeping your neck and head warm when the wind picks up while the two zipped hand pockets are excellent for keeping your hands warm or safely stashing your essentials close by.
