Montane Extreme Smock - Men's
The definitive, single layer, softshell, extreme mountain smock
The Extreme Smock has become a modern outdoor classic. The first truly technical softshell, single layer mountain smock. Designed and built without compromise. Tested in extreme and hostile conditions for 20 years by mountaineers, climbers and on multiple high Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, both the Extreme Smock and Extreme Jacket have become trusted favourites of Mountain Rescue teams and outdoor professionals across the world.
Review: I have had a Montane Extreme smock for 20 years and glad to say the quality of the new is excellent, durable, adaptable and most important, warm and dry. This is the finest piece of outdoor clothing I have ever purchased. It is my go-to item for winter hillwalks and for mountain excursions. It's definitely a different experience to the traditional layering concept. It takes a leap of faith to wear this type of smock but, once you do, you will be converted. A close fitting base layer underneath is all that’s needed and then I use the vent zips to regulate the body temperature. I would only use a light shell jacket when rain is persistent and heavy. The smock is is durable so you don't have to worry about getting it wet, catching it on thorns, rock or barbed wire fences. Highly recommended!
