LIGHTWEIGHT ENDURANCE MOUNTAIN GEAR.

Montane^® has become synonymous with lightweight and breathable clothing. The first to truly push the limits of single layer mountain clothing with the Extreme Smock and then, later realising the true value of windproof clothing, creating the first super packable, windproof and breathable windshirt; The Featherlite Smock. The Featherlite was probably the most functional and innovative piece of windproof garment design since Fridtjof Nansen whilst planning the first crossing of Greenland over 100 years ago realised that the windproof-ness of garments was the secret to moving quickly and comfortably in the mountains.

The functionality of garments does not stop at clothing design. Fabric technology is critical. Over 10 years ago Montane^® was one of the first clothing brands in the world to recognise the true genius of eVent^® fabric. With never before seen levels of breathability, eVent^® fabrics allowed Montane^® to help revolutionise mountaineering and rain shell performance.

In the Terra Pant range Montane^® recognised that lightweight should not necessarily mean fragile. The Terra Pants are the personification of 'tough lightweight'. A combination of Tactel that is hyper breathable yet lightweight and Cordura^® for mountain robustness. The Terra Pants are tough, so tough that you can tow a car with them.

For over 18 years now Montane^® has worked closely with serious mountain professionals working in hostile conditions across the globe as a proving ground for garment design. From the British Antarctic Survey to Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue, the busiest Mountain Rescue team in the UK. Professionals who demand tough credentials from their clothing equipment choose Montane^®.
