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

Montane Women's Khamsin Lite Pants Black

Season:AW26

Brand:Montane

Code:FKLPR-BLA

Breathable Active Insulation with OCTA® 100 The Khamsin Lite Pants are insulated with OCTA® 100, a highly breathable synthetic insulation developed for fast-moving mountain activities. Its unique hollow-core fibre construction traps warmth while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape, helping regulate your temperature as your effort levels change. Unlike traditional insulated trousers that can quickly become too warm, the Khamsin Lite keeps you comfortable during steep ascents, technical scrambles and exposed ridgelines without feeling bulky. It’s an ideal solution for winter hikers, climbers and fastpackers who need warmth that works with them, not against them.

What are the Khamsin Lite Pants?

The Montane Khamsin Lite Pants are lightweight, breathable, insulated trousers built for moving fast in cold climates, when you'd overheat in heavier trousers.

Designed for hikers, climbers and trail runners, they offer a balance of breathable warmth and freedom of movement. The softshell outer provides weather resistance while the OCTA® insulation provides breathable warmth and helps regulate temperature as your effort levels change.

They're particularly well suited to high-output mountain days, whether you're climbing steadily uphill, moving across exposed terrain or simply trying to stay comfortable around camp in cold, changeable conditions.

Materials & Technology

AEROFYLTE Lite WR Softshell Fabric

The outer of the trousers are made from Montane's AEROFYLTE Lite WR fabric, which is a lightweight two-way stretch softshell material designed to balance durability, breathability and weather resistance. It's made from a combination of recycled nylon with elastane, in a tightly woven plain weave structure, that provides excellent levels of abrasion resistance and durability while remaining flexible and comfortable during movement. The material meets both Oeko-Tex® and Bluesign® certification standards.

The fabric is finished with a non-fluorocarbon DWR (durable water repellent) coating that 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 trousers waterproof.

OCTA® 100 Insulation

The trousers are lined with OCTA® 100 insulation, a lightweight, hi-loft synthetic fleece insulation designed for breathable warmth when moving fast on the trail. OCTA® 100 is made from 100% recycled polyester and uses a unique fibre construction with a distinctive cross-section with eight projections aligned in a radial pattern, surrounding a hollow fibre. Its innovative construction makes the fabric super light, quick drying, highly breathable and extremely warm, to help regulate temperature during intense activity while maintaining warmth in colder conditions without overheating. This innovative insulation also meets Oeko-Tex® certification standards.

Features and Functionality

Breathable Insulated Construction

The combination of a breathable, lightweight softshell outer and OCTA® insulation allows the trousers to keep you warm, whilst regulating your temperature effectively. This helps to prevent you from overheating during on steep sections of trail or when you’re moving fast, whilst still providing ample warmth for cold exposed routes or when activity levels drop.

Stretch Fit for Unrestricted Movement

The trousers' two-way stretch fabric and tapered leg shape allow freedom of movement for a wide range of activities, such as hiking, trekking, scrambling or setting up camp, where mobility is key.

Low-Profile Waistband with Adjustment

A pre-elasticated waistband with drawcord adjustment provides a secure and comfortable fit, preventing the trousers from digging in when bending down and stretching. The waistband's low-bulk design sits comfortably under a harness or backpack hip belt to prevent discomfort when worn for long periods.

Practical Pocket Layout

For storage, you'll find two zipped hand pockets that offer easily accessible storage for your trail essentials. There is also a concealed zipped thigh pocket, ideal for keeping smaller items close to hand, such as a mobile phone, snacks or energy gels.

Lightweight, Packable Design

Although the Khamsin Lite Pants are technically insulated trousers, they're surprisingly lightweight, low-bulk and packable, making them ideal to carry as part of your layering system, whether hiking, trekking, wild camping or hut to hut adventuring in cold climates.

Key Features

  • AEROFYLTE Lite WR lightweight stretch softshell outer fabric
  • OCTA® 100 breathable synthetic insulation
  • Outer fabric made from 94% recycled nylon
  • Insulation made from 100% recycled polyester
  • High air permeability for active use (<20 CFM)
  • Non-fluorocarbon durable water repellent (DWR) finish
  • Bluesign® and Oeko-Tex® approved fabrics
  • Elasticated waistband with drawcord adjustment
  • Two zipped hand pockets
  • Concealed zipped thigh pocket
  • Regular fit with tapered leg

How do the Khamsin Lite Pants fit?

The Khamsin Lite Pants feature Montane's regular fit, designed to sit close enough to the body for optimal thermal efficiency, yet still provide ample space for layering over hiking trousers, merino baselayers or leggings. Their tapered leg provides a streamlined profile that reduces bulk and improves mobility during mountain activities.

What are the Khamsin Lite Pants best for?

  • Winter hiking and hillwalking
  • Mountaineering and alpine climbing
  • Cold-weather trekking
  • Winter hut-to-hut adventuring
  • Fastpacking and multi-day mountain running
  • Breathable insulated legwear for layering systems
Stretch Softshell Protection for Mountain Movement Built with AEROFYLTE Lite softshell fabric, the Khamsin Lite Pants combine lightweight weather resistance with outstanding freedom of movement. The two-way stretch fabric moves naturally with your body whether you're stepping over rocky terrain, scrambling or setting up camp. A tightly woven construction provides excellent abrasion resistance and helps block cold winds, while a PFC-free DWR treatment sheds light rain and snow. The result is a highly versatile outdoor trouser that performs in cold, changeable conditions without sacrificing comfort or mobility.
Low-Bulk Design for Layering & Fastpacking Despite being insulated, the Khamsin Lite Pants remain impressively lightweight and packable, making them easy to carry as part of a winter layering system. Their regular fit with a tapered leg provides enough room to wear over baselayers or lightweight hiking trousers while maintaining a streamlined profile that reduces excess bulk. A low-profile elasticated waistband with drawcord adjustment sits comfortably beneath a backpack hip belt or climbing harness, making the trousers particularly well-suited to fastpacking, winter trekking and alpine adventures where efficient layering is essential.
Mountain-Focused Simplicity The Khamsin Lite Pants focus on the features that matter most when you're moving quickly through cold mountain terrain. Every detail has been considered to create an insulated trouser that disappears into the background, allowing you to focus entirely on the terrain ahead rather than the kit you're wearing.
