What is the Featherlite jacket?The Featherlite jacket is the perfect travel companion for windy days or when the weather has other plans. Using a 20 denier Wind Barrier Dynamic material, the Featherlite is a lightweight, windproof jacket that offers excellent stretch to ensure full mobility and protection from the elements when you need it most. Weighing in at only 110g (Size: Medium) the speed light is one of the lightest windproof jackets in the range and stuffs down into its chest pocket.
What is the jacket made from?Montane have used their own 20 Denier Wind Barrier Dynamic fabric. The wind barrier Dynamic fabric is not only windproof but is also very lightweight and breathable. It is 100% ripstop nylon material offering a good amount of stretch and durability. It’s also incredibly breathable allowing warm air and moisture vapor to escape the jacket to stop you from overheating, leaving you feeling cool and comfortable when moving fast in the outdoors. The outer layer of the Featherlite is fast drying and will bead in light showers due to its DWR (Durable Water Repellant) coating.
What are the features?The purpose of the Featherlite jacket is to protect you from the wind on cooler condition days, and it does just that. The full-length reverse coil front zip also comprises from an internal wind barrier strip, this is extra coverage to keep the wind and rain out – it also allows you to decide how little or how much coverage and extra ventilation you want whilst running. The high neck means that when it is zipped to the top you get extra protection on the front and back of your neck.
The wrist comprises of a low stretch cuff which seals out the cold, yet allows you to easily pull up the sleeves for extra ventilation on warmer days. There are also thumb loops which are a great extra feature allowing for coverage over your hands to help protect from the cold weather.
The Featherlite jacket has a chest pocket on the front which is big enough to carry your phone and an energy bar in. On the inside of the pocket, there is an internal cord exit point to plug in your earphone and listen to your favourite band or podcast on the go! The Featherlite jacket also stuffs away into the chest pocket which can then be stashed away in your pack until you need it!
How does it fit?The Featherlite Jacket fits into Montane’s ‘Active Mountain Fit’ which gives a closer fit in the jacket and ensures it retains heat and flaps around less in high winds. This product still has some room underneath for extra layers and can be used in combination with a close-fitting mid-layer.
