Our Verdict
The hood has a velcro volume adjuster, wired peak and shockcord tightener, it can be rolled to form a collar and secured with a strap. There is a hem drawcord but no waist drawcord.
With this weight of down fill Montane could have gone for the conventional large baffles, but instead have created the mini baffles, quilt construction. This will ensure the down remains where it should.
