What is the Protium XT Jacket?
The Protium XT is versatile enough to act as an insulative midlayer on cold, winter days, or even as a light outer layer during the autumn when it's a little milder outside. Its lightweight, refined design and technical fleece fabric make it versatile enough to suit a range of activities, including climbing, scrambling, hiking, or even heading out on the morning coffee run.
What is it made of?
Montane has constructed the Protium XT using Thermo Grid HL brushed back fleece with a light stretch. This is a flexible, double weave fleece fabric with a chunky waffle grid. It feels warm, cosy and super smooth against the skin - so soft you'll never want to take it off!
Thermo Grid HL is effective at regulating temperature, so it's ideal for layering up under a down or shell jacket (or both) when it's icy outside to create a nice balance of warmth and breathability. You could even wear this piece as a light outer layer during the autumn.
What are its features?
The front of the jacket is fastened with a full-length YKK® zip which is easy to use and could even be unzipped midway for extra ventilation during intense activity. It has a fitted collar that sits around the neck closely but comfortably, with plenty of stretch for movement.
There are two mesh hand pockets fastened with zips for storage. These pockets have plenty of room for hill-snacks, keys, a purse or headphones. You could unzip these pockets for a little extra ventilation if you're working hard, or they also make perfect hand warmers on cold days when you've forgotten your gloves!
Finally, a low profile hem, cuffs and seams help reduce the bulk of the construction, feel much nicer against the skin, and give the jacket a neat, tidy finish.
