Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

What is the Anti Freeze Vest?

The Anti Freeze Vest is a lightweight down gilet that provides efficient core warmth with minimal weight and bulk, making it ideal for highly-packable warmth when pit-stopping in the mountains or hiking in cold conditions.

Built with a wind-resistant Pertex® Quantum outer and filled with premium 800FP ExpeDRY™ goose down, it's the ideal layering piece for a boost of warmth, whether hiking in cold conditions, pit-stopping for lunch or relaxing between adventures.

Materials & Technology

PERTEX® Quantum Outer

The Anti Freeze Vest's outer shell is made from 20 Denier Pertex® Quantum recycled nylon ripstop with a PFC/PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent).

Pertex® Quantum provides a lightweight, soft feel and helps improve the efficiency of the insulation by trapping still air. Though recycled, it doesn't skimp on performance; its tightly woven structure provides excellent levels of wind resistance and durability, providing both comfort and enhanced thermal performance. The fabric is coated in a PFC/PFAS-free DWR, which encourages light rain or snow to bead off the fabric without the use of harmful forever chemicals. However, please note this does not make the jacket waterproof.

EXPE DRY® 800 Fill Power Goose Down

For warmth, Montane has used 80g of ExpeDRY™ 90/10 goose down for an exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio. The Goose Down has a fill power of 800 + and is RDS and Track my Down™ certified, reassuring you that it has come from responsible, ethical sources.

It's well known that down and water don't mix well, so to combat this, the down is treated with a specialised process called ExpeDRY™. ExpeDRY™ by Allied Feather is an innovative, chemical-free, non-toxic alternative to hydrophobic-treated down. ExpeDRY™ uses chemical-free gases to permanently bond non-toxic gold particles to the individual down clusters, aiding the evaporation of water molecules, causing the down to dry faster and stay dry in high humidity and extreme conditions. This highly effective ability to move moisture helps the down retain maximum loft (fluffiness) and deal with various sources of moisture such as rain, snow and sweat, making it ideal for various environments and activities.

Lightweight Nylon Lining

Montane has lined the vest with lightweight 20D PEAQ recycled nylon with a PFC/PFAS-Free DWR (durable water repellent), which helps protect the inside from getting wet. PEAQ Down lining uses bluesign® approved recycled nylon plain weave, which is durable and abrasion-resistant yet lightweight. The lining feels soft next to the skin and is highly breathable, improving comfort and helping to regulate temperature during intense activity.

Features and Functionality

Refined Baffle Pattern

The Anti Freeze Vest features a stitch-through baffle construction to reduce bulk, allowing it to be easily compressed to take up less space in your pack. An enhanced baffle layout improve overall durability and help evenly distribute the down across the vest to reduce cold spots.

Offset Seams

Montane has constructed the vest with strategically placed offset seams throughout. This helps minimise vertical seams, optimise fabric usability, lower bulk, and reduce cold spots, with the bonus of creating a clean and timeless aesthetic.

Pack-Compatible Pocket Layout

For storage, you'll find two hand warmer pockets with YKK Natulon recycled zippers that offer space for a mobile phone, trail snacks and energy gels to keep you fueled during your adventure. The pockets have been thoughtfully placed to still be accessible when wearing a backpack or climbing harness.

Adjustable Hem

The vest is finished with an elasticated and adjustable bottom hem to refine the fit over various layers, allowing you to cinch it in to prevent cold air from entering and warm air from escaping.

Stuff Sack Included - Ideal for Repairs

An included cube stuff sack provides convenient, compact storage in your pack when not in use; however, we don't recommend storing the vest compressed for long periods of time, allowing the vest to loft between uses prolongs the life and effectiveness of the down loft. The stuff sack also doubles as a source of extra fabric should the jacket need to be repaired after years of frequent use to extend its lifespan.
