What is the Tundra Hoody?
If you're looking for something stylish, versatile and practical for winter, then look no further! The Tundra Hoody is a cosy down duvet jacket that oozes warmth and looks fantastic. It's ideal for light outdoor activity and general wear during the winter, whether hill-walking at the weekend or entertaining the kids during half term.
What is it made of?
The Tundra Hoody uses a recycled Barrier AC Eco nylon and recycled PEAQ Down Eco lining, both coated with a PFC-free durable water repellent. Montane has filled this jacket with recycled HyperDRY™ down with 700+ fill power.
Insulation: Filled with 220g (Size UK 10) of 700+ fill power 100% recycled HyperDRY™ down, this jacket provides maximum insulation and warmth for a variety of winter activities.
HyperDRY™ down is down insulation that has been treated to add water repellency. The treatment is PFC free, makes the insulation up to 40 times more hydrophobic than untreated down and four times faster drying. HyperDRY™ treatments also use 25 times less water and five times less chemistry to achieve the same level of performance as conventional methods.
Can't quite catch the lingo? Here's a quick break down.
Fill power - Fill power measures the warmth and efficiency of the down, alongside its ability to loft/fluff up. A rating of 700 fill power means that 1oz of this down fills 700 cubic inches of space when fully lofted.
Hydrophobic - Hydrophobic down dries out and lofts quicker, resisting moisture from light rain or sweat and condensation that may build up inside the jacket during intenseactivity. PFC free Hydrophobic finishes like HyperDRY™ are not fluorinated, and therefore don't cause damage to the environment like previously used fluorinated treatments - an excellent feature for more eco-conscious adventurers!
Outer: The outer shell of this jacket uses 100% recycled Barrier AC Eco nylon. It feels slightly thicker and more heavyweight than material used on the technical jackets in Montane's range. However, as this wouldn't be classed as a techy mountain piece, it actually works really well! Nylon is incredibly durable, so this jacket will withstand regular use easily without looking shabby and worn after a few months, making it a fantastic investment for your wardrobe.
Lining: The lining of this jacket is also 100% recycled, constructed with PEAQ Down Eco lining with a grade 4 PFC-free durable water repellent, which helps protect down inside from getting wet. PEAQ Down Eco lining uses bluesign® approved recycled nylon plain weave, which is durable and abrasion resistant yet lightweight. The lining feels soft next to the skin and is highly breathable, improving comfort and helping to regulate temperature during intense activity.
What are its features?
Montane has designed the Tundra with a large stitched baffle construction that looks modern and stylish. Stitch through baffles help prevent down migration for an even spread of warmth across the jacket. It has a lovely neat finish that looks casual and versatile enough to wear for any occasion, whether you're doing the weekly shop, meeting friends for coffee or taking a stroll around the local park.
The hood is adjustable, so you can adapt it to fit snug around your head with or without layers underneath.
At the front is a two-way, full length YKK® zip with an internal storm flap. Two-way zips are a firm Trekitt favourite - they are so practical! They allow you to open the bottom half of the jacket if you need extra ventilation or freedom of movement around the hips and legs - a bonus as this jacket is a little longer than other down jackets in the range.
Two zipped hand pockets give you somewhere toasty to put your hands when temperatures drop, alongside a place to store essentials like your phone, keys or purse.
Cuffs are pre-elasticated, allowing more flexibility around the wrists - super handy if you're out entertaining the kids or need to fit them around chunky mittens. Finally, an adjustable waist drawcord pulls in the fit around, you guessed it, the waist! It's a simple way to change the style of the jacket if you prefer a more flattering, tailored silhouette. Simply pull and cinch in until your heart's content to create a more shapely fit.
