Great jacket and very warm for the cold Scottish Autumn / Winter seasons. Was very impressed with the quick delivery service and the overall quality of the jacket. Would highly recommend purchasing from Montane.
Overall Performance - 5Well I can only repeat what has been said in all the great reviews. They are amazingly warm, packable, light, well constructed down jackets. I brought two now plus another one for my son. The narwhal blue is such a great colour. Whatever you're needs, this jacket answers those needs.
Overall Performance - 5good all round jacket...superb quality and fit. Best down jacket on the market....
Overall Performance - 5Really warm, fits well but not too impressed in the quality for £180. Ordered one for my husband, too large, so sent back and medium ordered which fitted fine. New medium one came and he tried it on, all good, took tags off then discovered a hole on the shoulder, a good couple of mm in diameter so lots of feathers were coming out. Sent back 27th Dec, refunded today and another ordered which he discovered at the weekend has a big hole in the chest pocket and you can see where the stitching has come undone. Baring in mind he's worn this 3 times. Lovely looking coat, very warm but expected a bit more quality. Credit card must be wondering what I'm doing as I've now had three coats!
Overall Performance - 5I bought this as well as the Patagonia version, Montane wins hands down, fit, quality, styling, breathability and value. I'm new to Montane and am already looking at getting a lot more gear!
Overall Performance - 5Got this as a warm packable jacket for when I am away from home. Excellent fit around neck keeps wind away with hood down. Only need a t-shirt underneath. Occasional feathers escaping through Pertex outer but great otherwise.
Overall Performance - 5I have had a Featherlite Down Jacket for three years now. I remember the feeling of immediate warmth when I tried it on for the first time. And I remember the feeling of warmth every time I have put it on since. It's in my bag for every trip. Light and warm it is fantastic. Recommended.
Overall Performance - 5I love my Featherlite jacket. I bought it as a lightweight insulating layer that compresses well for multiday hiking/backpacking trips. I got that, and so much more. I virtually live in this thing now. It's such a smart looking jacket, well made like all Montane kit and above all nice and warm. It also breathes well, my old down jacket used to get condensation on the inside after only a moderate stroll. no problems like that with this jacket tho. If somehow I lost this jacket, I would replace it immediately.
Overall Performance - 5When I moved to Canada I needed something warm. Im not a big fan of big bulky jackets and need to be able to layer. This jacket ticks all the boxes. I use it as part of a 3 layer system climbing and hiking and can get away wearing it by its self down to -5'c no worries. The hood is the best iv used. Fits well and is fully featured. Would not hesitate buying again especially considering the price.
Overall Performance - 5I've had this jacket for 18 months now, and it's an excellent bit of kit.. Stylish, incredibly warm & hard-wearing and my favourite jacket ever. Packs down very small into the provided slow-paced, so it's easy to carry around in the bottom of my Backpack.
Overall Performance - 5Great fitting smart jacket! Tickes all the boxes really, it's warm and lightweight. Oh and the montane warranty is real, unlike a huge unnamed popular competitor. So the brand backs up what it says and produces quality gear, I'm sold!
Overall Performance - 5I use it in long travel (3-4 days) winter backpacking, snowshoeing or backcountry skiing and I was very satisfied even in very low temperatures. Sometimes when the weather was windy, I combined it with a hard shell and it was super ok. In conclusion, it can be used in a recreational activity or in a technical mountaineering.
Overall Performance - 5I spent a fair bit of time looking into this style of jacket online finally narrowing it down to the Montane and two more from other big brands. L D Mountain Centre in Newcastle had all three in, the staff were very helpful and after trying them all I found the Montane a better fit (6' & slim...ish) for me and had a good overall feel to the materials. A few months on it has had considerable use. I walk the dog along the coast and local hills everyday and as its been cold but relatively dry the jacket has proved a daily companion keeping me toasty even in the harshest of winds. On the times it has rained I have stayed dry and the jacket has kept its loft - note - I haven't been out in the pouring rain. I have spent a fair few nights out photographing stars where it has either kept me warm on its own or when very cold and windy as a main insulating layer under a waterproof jacket. The hood is particular good with a secure fit and superb warmth. The fact it packs away to a very small size is an added bonus in our change weather meaning you can take it and not worry about weight. Overall I am highly impressed and would highly recommend this jacket.
Overall Performance - 5I needed an easily packed (crushable) jacket to carry around with me on (good) days. Living in mountains of Wales and Scotland makes you plan ahead and be prepared. I had similar from other manufacturers but the Montane kit caught my eye. Easily & quickly ordered and delivered. It fitted fine and oozed quality. Light, easily packed and carried - I take it everywhere with me - it's always in car if not on my person. It's lasting well and performing well.
Overall Performance - 5Order and delivery all went well, I took the jacket up the Brecon Beacons and it performed well, wouldn't rely on it in any serious weather, and it's great for wearing in the house when you don't want the heating on!
