Dart Zip-Neck

The Montane Dart Zip-Neck is a long-sleeved synthetic shirt that is an ideal year-round base layer (a short-sleeved tee is also available).

Quattro Fusion Jacket

The Montane Quattro Fusion Jacket has an innovative hybrid design that incorporates both 800 fill down and Polartec Alpha Direct fleece insulation. An interesting approach to solve the problem of down getting packed down and sweaty while wearing a pack. I tested the Montane Quattro Fusion during the fall and winter of 2017 and 2018 in Northern New Hampshire. This was an interesting season and we saw everything from -20 degrees with knee-deep snow, to rain and 60 degrees, then back to temperatures… Full review

Prism Bootie

Best camp bootie. Best camp bootie I've used. Have had mine for years. Ultra lightweight with a reinforcement underfoot for camp cooking, chill out at camp. Great fit, packs to nothing. All the warmth I need.  Full review
