What is the Protium Lite Hoodie?
It's a 35% lighter-weight version of Montane's best-selling Protium Fleece. Although lighter, this thermo grid fleece actually has an improved warmth-to-weight ratio and the same thermal performance. Its low bulk construction allows it to be worn as a light year-round midlayer or super warm baselayer for cold weather adventures.
What is it made from?
The Protium Lite is constructed from Montane's Thermo Grid Lite fleece, made from a blend of polyester and elastane. Thermo Grid lite is, as the name suggests, a lightweight grid fleece that offers plenty of warmth and breathability. It has a brushed back that feels lovely against the skin, should you be wearing it as a baselayer or with a vest or tee underneath. Its gridded construction also helps regulate body temperature by wicking moisture away efficiently, ensuring you won't be left feeling clammy and sticky after a hard session out on the hill.
This fabulous fleece is also super stretchy and provides excellent freedom of movement for more technical ascents, fun scrambles and tricky climbs. As if this versatile fleece couldn't get any better, it's also treated with Polygiene permanent odour control, allowing you to wear it for longer between washes without offending your campmates with any unpleasant odours. It also makes it a great choice for multi-day adventures when you want to carry less kit.
What are its features?
A snug-fitting hood sits comfortably underneath a helmet, providing warmth and protection from cold winds whilst climbing and mountain bike riding. Flatlock seams throughout help to reduce bulk when layering and eliminate chaffing from wearing a backpack or climbing harness for long periods.
The hoodie features a simple full-length YKK front zip, which offers flexible ventilation options should you start to warm up quickly on steep terrain. For storage, there are two hand pockets with secure YKK zip fastenings that offer plenty of space to keep hill snacks, keys and a mobile phone close to hand.
