Montane Extreme Jacket - Men's
The definitive, single layer, softshell, extreme mountain jacket.
The Extreme Jacket has become a modern outdoor classic. The first truly technical softshell, single layer mountain garment. Designed and built without compromise. Tested in extreme, hostile conditions for nearly 20 years by mountaineers, climbers and on multiple high Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, the Extreme Jacket has become the trusted favourite of Mountain Rescue teams and outdoor professionals across the world. Although the name and concept is retained, for winter 2012 the fit, styling and trim details have been completely updated and improved.
Review: The Extreme jacket is excellent! Comfortable, lightweight, robust, and keeps you warm and dry. The fit is great. I would only wear a base-layer underneath it. The hood closure and extra velcro keeps it sealed perfectly. I even took it off the jacket to sleep in it when bivving. Perfect for belaying, high alpine walking, summits, descents, skiing, cold and wind. This jacket gets ‘damp’ when the weather really turns, but it doesn’t matter because you remain warm and comfortable. This is an exceptional piece of kit for people who actually go into the outdoors in testing conditions. This jacket looks like it will last me 20 years!
