What is the Icarus Vest?
The Icarus Vest has been designed to provide high levels of warmth whilst keeping its pack size small and weight low. Using a micro baffle design, the vest offers a close fit to ensure reliable core warmth, and due to its synthetic insulation, it maintains its warmth when wet.
What is the Icarus Vest made from?
30D Pertex Quantum ECO recycled outer fabric offers good abrasion resistance, as well as windproofing and high water-resistance, especially when combined with the factory DWR coating to further help repel water.
The insulation comes in the form of 80g (Size medium) of Primaloft Black ThermoPlume insulation. ThermoPlume Black is a synthetic fill insulation designed to mimic the lofting and warmth properties of natural down (equivalent to 550 fill power down), whilst maintaining warmth when wet. All of this insulation is housed in a micro baffle construction, which keeps a close, body hugging fit that keeps bulk low and warmth high.
The inner is taken care of by a PEAQ Synthetic ECO lining that is supremely comfortable next to the skin, highly breathable and fast drying.
What are its features?
The Icarus Vest keeps the features to a minimum, in order to keep the weight and pack size small. A full length YKK zip with internal storm flap and the micro baffle construction keep the fit close. Two zipped hand pockets and a zipped chest pocket take care of storage, whilst a pre-elasticated hem helps keep all of that warmth in.
How does the Icarus Vest fit?
The Icarus Vest is in Montane’s Active Mountain Fit, which keeps the fit close to the body for fast paced mountain activities.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
The Icarus can be used as a mid-layer in cold conditions or as a standalone outer in warmer and mixed conditions.
