KNOW WHAT YOU’RE BUYING

The table below is designed to help you understand where Montane products are made and what they are made from. Lower impact materials have a reduced environmental footprint and increased traceability via third party accreditations. For example recycled content, Responsible Down Standard certified down, and branded yarns like Tencel ™. Where a product uses a DWR you can easily see whether this uses potentially harmful chemistry (PFCs).

    Legitimately excellent

    Honestly, the best thing to say about this vest is that it disappears when you put it on. You don’t notice it doing its job, which is brilliant. Plenty of space for a day’s run/trip

    Gecko VP12+

    Very light, dries quickly. Good quick access pockets, stretch well to allow all sizes of equipment. Pole storage is excellent and the top pocket allows immediate delivery of waterproofs without the need to remove the pack. Nice all round pack
