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).

    Comfortable and warm to wear

    I've only trained in this vest once but I filled up both water bottles and it was very comfortable to wear. Front straps held it in position nicely and I has one snack bar and a cap in the side pockets. I need to try it with a full 5litre load but so far so good. Nice and well made.

    Great for long trail runs

    Bought this for my son as he was always going out running carrying a water bottle.

    He loves the two water bottle compartments as he's now hands free and he can carry out items in the vest too!

    The Montane gecko design is easy to wear and less faffy than the salomon vest my wife has, my son says it fits really well - I expect to receive one too for Xmas!
