Alpine Spirit Gore-Tex Jacket Montane Outlet

Our Verdict

Montane’s Alpine Spirit Gore-Tex Jacket is a versatile hardshell for year-round alpine adventures. Built from tough, 70 Denier Gore-Tex Performance fabric, the Alpine Spirit is a hard-wearing shell that retains a surprising level of breathability for high-intensity adventures.

All of the zips are highly water resistant and the main zip works two-ways so you can easily wear it under or over a climbing harness. The adjustments on the jacket are all easy to use, with 2 pull drawcords on the hem and 3 on the hood, working together to give you the best fit while keeping the cold out.

The hood is comfortable to wear with or without a climbing helmet and features a stiffened peak for extra stability. The two hand pockets are large enough for a map, and the chest pocket is also surprisingly large with enough room for a phone, keys and other essential items.

The Alpine Spirit Jacket is well suited to all adventures, from long-distance treks and alpine climbs to rainy days in the Lakes or a afternoon stroll, this is truly versatile mountain staple.
