Flux Insulated Jacket Montane Cheap

Montane says

Versatile winter insulated mountain jacket employing PrimaLoft Silver Eco insulation technology

Designed for cold and damp conditions in the mountains. Featuring 100g and 60g PrimaLoft® SILVER ECO combined to maximise insulation without compromising comfort, the Flux was conceived to be more than a simple belay jacket. Developed in conjunction with Montane athletes the Flux Jacket is ideally suited to Scottish winter climbing.

Our Verdict

Montane’s Flux Jacket has been a firm favourite for some of our customers as it’s a great piece of kit. Montane have made a few changes but don’t worry, they are just small improvements in the fabrics, not a complete overhaul. And they have even managed to make it lighter!

It still has the high warmth to weight ratio of Primaloft combined with new lightweight face and inner fabrics. Only Down provides a higher warmth to weight ratio but with the Flux you get near indestructibility combined with all the right design cues.

Feature wise you’ve still got all your favourites like the fully adjustable hood, four external pockets and one internal mesh pocket. The cuffs have an adjustable velcro closure and the front zip is two way. We love it.
