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 Cetus Jacket?

It's a highly breathable, comfortable and packable waterproof shell that does things a little differently than traditional waterproof jackets. It utilises Montane's innovative PFC-Free Petrichor waterproof technology for high-performance weather protection and breathability for various outdoor activities across the seasons.

What is it made from?

The Cetus Jacket features Montane's innovative Petrichor 3L waterproof technology. Petrichor delivers exceptional breathability and waterproof protection for all manner of wet-weather adventures. It scores a waterproof hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm and a breathability rating of RET 7, meaning it excels in various activities in adverse conditions, where it will remain breathable to keep you dry inside and out.

Montane's Petrichor uses 100% recycled nylon fabrics in a 3-layer sandwich construction to deliver a lightweight and comfortable shell jacket that's noticeably quieter to wear. The 30-denier nano ripstop face fabric provides lightweight durability, whilst the 20-denier solution-dyed tricot lining offers efficient moisture transportation and next-to-skin comfort. Sandwiched in the middle of these lightweight fabrics is the super-thin Petrichor membrane, which is both waterproof and windproof. All fabrics used to construct the Cetus are free from harmful PFC/PFAS chemicals and are also Oeko-Tex® and Bluesign® approved for extra reassurance that the jacket was created responsibly.

Montane's Petrichor membrane does things a little differently from traditional waterproof jackets. For those unfamiliar with waterproof clothing technology, conventional waterproofs rely on hydrophobic membranes with thousands of tiny, microscopic holes in them and a difference in either temperature or pressure inside the jacket to pull water vapour through the membrane to allow it to escape. Though widely used, this technology can be hindered if the DWR on the face fabric of your jacket fails and 'wets out' or the tiny holes become blocked over time by dirt and skin oils from sweat, resulting in a very clammy, gross-feeling waterproof jacket that might feel as if it's leaking.

Petrichor, in contrast, is a completely solid non-porous hydrophilic membrane that actively breathes to physically transport moisture away from the body and damp layers, pulling it out into the air where it can escape. It utilises channels within the material to pull moisture through the membrane to continuously manage your microclimate, keeping you comfortably dry all day long, an effect that increases in strength as you work harder - the tougher the trail gets, the more breathable the jacket becomes. This innovative design delivers supercharged breathability and allows this super-thin solid membrane to be not only waterproof but windproof too. Neat right?

The jacket is finished with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) to encourage water, dirt and snow to bead off the material, further enhancing the jacket's protective capabilities.

For those of you who are wondering, PFAS/PFC's are also known as 'forever chemicals' because they stay permanently in the environment, bioaccumulate in animals and cause lasting damage to our ecosystems. Due to their harmful nature, many companies are working to eliminate their use in products and manufacturing processes. Montane's Petrichor technology is at the forefront of responsible, highly breathable waterproof clothing and is helping pave the way towards a PFC/PFAS chemical-free future.

What are its features?

Starting from the top, a fully adjustable hood delivers protection from the elements, while a laminated peak helps keep rain and snow away from the face. The hood can be cinched right in close to the face for maximum protection in adverse weather without hindering your line of vision. At the front, a YKK centre front zip helps keep rain and wind from reaching you inside the jacket.

For storage, you'll find two YKK aqua guard zipped hand pockets and a zipped internal chest pocket. The hand pockets are ideal for keeping items such as energy gels, trail snacks, a GPS device and small guidebooks close to hand. Whilst the internal pocket provides secure storage for more valuable items such as a mobile phone and keys.

The Cetus features Montane's regular fit, which offers enough wiggle room for layers underneath without hindering movement whilst still sitting close enough to the body for optimal thermal retention. Articulated sleeves offer a natural range of movement for various activities, whilst grown-on adjustable cuffs allow you to achieve a snug fit, even around gloves.

A fully adjustable bottom hem helps stop cold wind and rain from blowing up inside the jacket on exposed routes. Montane has used a clever offset seam construction throughout the jacket to enhance comfort levels and provide added durability across the seams.

Finishing details such as a laminated peak, hems and cuff tabs add durability to key areas whilst still keeping the jacket's overall weight and pack size to a minimum.
