Janhukot Down Jacket Montane Cheap

Montane says

Versatile and luxuriously warm, the Janhukot Jacket has been designed as a robust piece of ‘do-it-all’ down insulation equally at home for belaying as it is for winter walking. Protective PERTEX® QUANTUM PRO provides high levels of water resistance and is filled with high quality 650+ fill power down.

Our Verdict

Montane’s Janhukot Down Jacket is filled with 650 Fill Power down, which is not as high a quality as you will find in ultralight down jackets, but there’s a lot of it, 260 grams, making this a seriously warm jacket. The outer fabrics have been beefed up to and are 40 denier marking this out as a durable piece, if you’ve ever snagged an ultralight down piece you’ll appreciate the benefit of having this extra toughness.

It’s still a technical jacket though, with a well thought out hood with volume adjuster and wired peak, it also has fleece lined hand pockets commensurate with a jacket designed for cold conditions.

The 650 Fill Power specification means it can be produced at a lower cost than other down jackets.
