Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

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 Fortes Lite Hoodie?

It's a lightweight, synthetically insulated jacket that offers the ideal amount of warmth and breathability for a wide range of mountain conditions and activities. Made from lightweight ripstop materials, with body-mapped Primaloft Active Vent insulation and air permeable technology, it manages moisture effectively and traps vital warmth for adaptable protection on the mountain.

What is it made from?

Insulation: The Fortes Lite uses PrimaLoft® Gold Active Vent Insulation for breathable warmth, with a body-mapped construction for the perfect balance of warmth, weight and packability, making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. Montane has used 60 g/m² throughout the torso and 40 g/m² in the hood and sleeves to offer maximum manoeuvrability and reduced bulk.

Primaloft® Gold Active is a synthetic insulation that provides ample warmth, even when wet. The ability to retain heat when wet is a huge advantage to synthetic insulation compared to down, alongside it being a vegan alternative. This insulation is also incredibly breathable and helps to regulate body temperature, balancing the body's microclimate when working hard. It's made from 80% recycled polyester, which, though recycled, maintains performance and feel. This insulation does not migrate and has a four-way stretch to enhance flexibility and freedom of movement - perfect for climbing, ski touring, or even using hiking poles.

Fabrics: Montane has used lightweight 12-denier Barrier Tough fabric for the outer fabric. This densely woven mini-ripstop material is made from recycled nylon yarns and is exceptionally abrasion-resistant for its weight, allowing it to withstand the rigours of mountain adventures whilst keeping the jacket's overall bulk to a minimum. This face fabric is finished with a PFC/PFAS FREE DWR (durable water repellent) coating to allow it to shed light rain and snow without the use of harmful forever chemicals. However, please note, this does not make the jacket waterproof.

For the lining, Montane have used a lighter-weight 10 denier recycled nylon ripstop fabric with Air Permeable Technology. This light, yet robust material is tough enough to withstand frequent use, yet highly air permeable to provide maximum breathability, manage moisture effectively for all-day comfort in the mountains.

All fabrics used in the Fortes Lite are Bluesign® approved, meaning they're manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.

What are its features?

An adjustable hood with Montane's PIVOT 2 hood system provides shelter from the elements. It features an independent aperture and crown adjustment for a secure, tailored fit that moves with you without hindering your line of sight.

The jacket is fastened with a Lightweight YKK Vislon Natulon recycled zip for minimal weight and bulk, whilst an insulated placket helps prevent cold winds from entering the jacket through the zip.

As previously mentioned, the Fortes Lite Hoodie features body mapped insulation, providing more warmth in more exposed areas such as the main body and under the arms and hood to reduce bulk, maximise freedom of movement and comfort when layering. To further enhance movement, Montane have used their Reach fit construction which offers improved arm lift and forward reach, making the jacket ideal for climbing and scrambling.

Thoughtfully designed offset seams throughout the jacket improve durability across the seams, enhancing comfort levels and extending the jacket's longevity.

For storage, you'll find two zipped hand pockets for storing various snacks and trail essentials and a single internal chest pocket for protecting more valuable items. The hand pockets have been strategically placed to be accessible even when using a climbing harness and feature a cosy lining to keep your hands warm on cold days. Each pocket is fastened with a YKK Natulon recycled zip for a reduced footprint.

Soft, self-sealing fabric cuffs help lock in vital warmth around the wrists while allowing you to easily peek at your sports watch with minimal faff.

An included cube stuff sack allows you to easily compress and pack the jacket down to store in your pack when not in use. It also doubles as a source of extra fabric should the jacket need to be repaired after years of frequent use to extend its lifespan.

Features

  • APT technology utilises breathable lining fabrics to maximise insulation performance direct to the body, with protective face fabrics to lock out cold weather
