What is the Phase Jacket?
Montane's Phase Jacket is a lightweight, packable, durable shell jacket with a little less spec than some of the more technical jackets in the range. It's ideal for scrambling, hiking, hill-walking and general mountain use when the weather isn't playing ball.
What is it made of?
The Phase is built using waterproof 40D Gore-Tex® Performance, which is lightweight and much more packable than other jackets in the Montane Phase family. A lighter denier fabric helps enhance breathability and reduces weight and bulk without compromising waterproofness.
Gore-Tex® Performance technology has been developed to resist scrapes against rough surfaces and rocks whilst providing reliable protection against wet weather.
What are the features?
The overall construction of the Phase uses taped seams to enhance the jacket's waterproofness. Taped seams cover each seam individually from the inside, creating an effective barrier that helps prevent water from seeping through the stitching.
The hood is adjustable and can be rolled away to keep it from flapping around your ears annoyingly in the wind when it's not being worn. A three point 'quick release' adjustment on the hood allows you to adapt the fit without the faff. There's also a stiffened peak at the top of the hood that helps keep wet weather away from the face by providing a little extra coverage above the forehead.
At the front is a two-way YKK Aquaguard® Vislon zip with an internal storm flap to help keep the weather out. The zip can be undone from the bottom up, allowing you to get extra ventilation around your mid-section or even answer the call of nature when there are no facilities nearby.
For storage, two hand pockets offer a safe place to stow away gloves, snacks and energy gels. These pockets are also fastened with YKK Aquaguard® Vislon zips to ensure complete waterproof protection along each opening. For more valuable items like a mobile phone or GPS device, there's an internal zipped chest pocket to give you peace of mind that you won't lose them in the mountains.
The cuffs of the sleeves are shaped and have hook and loop adjustment tabs to adapt the fit around chunky gloves, mitts or bare wrists. Finally, a drawcord adjuster at the bottom allows you to cinch in the hem, optimising waterproof protection and preventing gusts from blowing up into the jacket.
