British outdoor brand Montane has become synonymous with lightweight and breathable clothing and equipment. For over 25 years 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 British Mountain Rescue Teams. Professionals who demand the toughest credentials from their clothing and equipment choose Montane.
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 wind shirt - the Featherlite Smock. The Featherlite Smock was probably the most functional and innovative piece of windproof garment design since Fridtjof Nansen, while planning the first crossing of Greenland over 100 years ago, realised that the windproof properties of a garment were the secret to moving quickly and comfortably in the mountains.
The importance of functionality in garments and packs does not stop at product design alone. Fabric technology is critical to producing the best product; Montane works with the world's leading fabric suppliers to engineer new cutting-edge materials that push the boundaries of what is possible with clothing, equipment and accessories to create the lightest, toughest and most functional products available on the market.
Endurance expeditions and athletes are critical in the development of our garment designs, ensuring Montane clothing is fit for purpose. They are our reason to be critical within our design processes. From unsupported ventures to the North Pole, smash and grab route attempts on the North Face of the Eiger to high profile scientific work in the high Arctic. All of these athletes help Montane develop clothing that will withstand the harshest of conditions, both physiologically and environmentally.
Where are the contemporary limits of endurance? They are in ultras. Imagine this: you've run 256 miles across the frozen Canadian Yukon. You've experienced consistent -30C and felt the low of -40C, you're cold and alone, and you still have 174 miles to go to the finish line...stay focused. In July you've run 65 miles of some of toughest trails in the British Lake District, some of the cruellest terrain underfoot in Europe. You've just left the shelter of a friendly checkpoint, and as you step out into the cold pouring rain, peer into the darkness and contemplate the terrain ahead, you realise you have 40 miles left until the finish line. From the Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra to the Montane Lakeland 100, this is one of the main areas where we believe endurance is being tested to the absolute limit and where Montane products thrive.

The range of gloves, mitts, hats, caps, headbands and neck wear has always been strong for Montane and this winter is no different.
Some of the highlights are the lightweight insulated gloves that are perfect for anyone going fast and light or wanting something that stows easily for emergency use.
Among these are the new 2020 Prism glove and mitt along with the Prism Dry Line which is a waterproof version for anyone needing that extra protection. There is also a tougher, warmer version called the Supercell Tough which is more suited to winter mountain activities. Finally, there is the innovative Switch Gloves with Pull-Out Mitts which, in this case provides a PrimaLoft insulated mitt for colder conditions.
