What is the Protium Lite Hoodie?
It's a cosy, low-bulk grid fleece that's ideal as a comfortable year-round midlayer or super warm baselayer for cold-weather adventures. This highly versatile and super stretchy fleece is a 35% lighter-weight version of Montane's best-selling Protium Fleece. Although lighter, this thermo grid fleece has an improved warmth-to-weight ratio and the same thermal performance, making it highly suited to fast-paced adventures when you need highly breathable kit to keep you comfortable.
What is it made from?
The Protium Lite is constructed from Montane's Thermo Grid Lite fleece, made from a blend of polyester and elastane. Thermo Grid lite is, as the name suggests, a lightweight grid fleece that offers plenty of warmth and breathability. It has a brushed back that feels lovely against the skin, should you be wearing it as a baselayer or with a vest or tee underneath. Its gridded construction also helps regulate body temperature by wicking moisture away efficiently, ensuring you won't be left feeling clammy and sticky after a hard session out on the hill.
This fabulous fleece is also super stretchy and provides excellent freedom of movement for more technical ascents, fun scrambles and tricky climbs. As if this versatile fleece couldn't get any better, it's also treated with Polygiene permanent odour control, allowing you to wear it for longer between washes without offending your campmates with any unpleasant odours. It also makes it a great choice for multi-day adventures when you want to carry less kit.
What are its features?
A snug-fitting hood sits comfortably underneath a helmet, providing warmth and protection from cold winds whilst climbing and mountain bike riding. Flatlock seams throughout help to reduce bulk when layering and eliminate chaffing from wearing a backpack or climbing harness for long periods.
The hoodie features a simple full-length YKK front zip, which can be used for extra ventilation should you start to get too warm up quickly on steep terrain. For storage, there are two hand pockets with secure YKK zip fastenings that offer plenty of space to keep hill snacks, keys and a mobile phone close to hand.
