Montane Waterproof Jackets
If you move fast or you like to keep your pack light, go for a lightweight waterproof jacket that stuffs down small and breathes well on the climbs. If you’re out for longer, carrying a pack, or you know the weather will be relentless, step up to a tougher waterproof shell that feels more reassuring when it’s hammering down. Look for the basics that make a difference outside: a hood that moves with your head, zipped pockets you can still use with a hipbelt done up, and cuffs and hems that lock out spray when the wind gets up. Montane keeps the focus on what matters outdoors: freedom of movement, dependable waterproofing, and features you’ll use with a backpack on. Choose from options like the Montane Pac Plus for low-weight, packable waterproof protection, or step up to GORE-TEX jackets if you want a more protective waterproof shell for harder use.
Pick the right Montane rain jacket for your pace and your forecast, then get back to walking in the wet without cutting the day short.
