What is the Chonos Jacket?
The Chonos is a fashionable, retro-style fleece with a sustainable, recycled construction. It's perfect for casual winter use, whether heading for coffee, lunch or entertaining the kids at the weekend. It feels super cosy, soft on the skin, and looks fantastic with either jeans or hiking pants.
What is it made of?
Montane has used a combination of Thermo 300 high pile fleece and 100% recycled Thermo 300 Eco fleece with Cotton-feel Tactel® overlays on the elbows.
The mixture of Thermo 300 and Thermo 300 Eco gives the jacket a thick, fluffy texture and provides exceptional warmth to keep you cosy during long, cold winters. Thermo 300 Eco is 100% recycled and just as effective as the regular Thermo 300, so using a mixture of the two not only provides an even spread of insulation but makes it more sustainable too!
The cotton-feel Tactel® overlays give the jacket a more trendy, old-school look. They are soft and flexible yet durable enough to withstand abrasion from general use. These patches help to prolong the lifespan of the jacket by reinforcing high wear areas.
What are its features?
As this jacket is much less technical than other jackets in Montane's range, it has a much smaller feature set.
There is a close fitting collar that sits near to the skin for optimum warmth, without feeling uncomfortable and restrictive.
The front of the jacket is fastened with a full-length YKK® zip which is easy to use and could even be unzipped midway for extra ventilation during intense activity.
There are two hand pockets fastened with zips for storage. These pockets have plenty of room for hill-snacks, keys, a purse or headphones. You could unzip these pockets for extra ventilation if you're working hard, or they also make perfect hand warmers on cold days when you've forgotten your gloves!
Finally, a low profile hem and cuffs help reduce the bulk of the construction, feel much nicer against the skin, and give this cosy jacket a neat and tidy finish.
