What is the Spirit Long Insulated Jacket?
The Spirit Long Insulated Jacket is a longer length waterproof and insulated coat designed for cold, wet conditions where warmth and weather protection are equally important.
Combining a waterproof Gore-Tex ePE outer with insulating PrimaLoft® technology, it delivers dependable weather protection and warmth in harsh winter conditions. The longer silhouette extends coverage over the thighs and lower body, helping to maximise comfort and heat retention during prolonged outdoor use.
Materials & Technology
GORE-TEX Performance 2-Layer Fabric
For waterproof protection, the jacket's outer use's 75 denier 2-layer Gore-Tex® Performance ePE made. This 2-layer construction combines a durable 75 denier outer with a lightweight waterproof and windproof Gore-Tex® Performance ePE membrane. This latest Gore-Tex technology is made from 100% recycled fabrics without the use of PFAS/PFC chemicals for a significantly reduced environmental impact.
It delivers a hydrostatic head rating of 28,000 mm and a RET breathability statistic of <13, making it ideal for various outdoor and everyday activities.
If you were wondering, PFAS/PFCs are per or poly-fluorinated chemicals, aka 'forever chemicals' that stay permanently in the environment and cause lasting damage to our ecosystems. This is why many companies are working towards a completely PFC-free future, and this latest membrane from Gore-Tex® is a big step forward for the brand.
PrimaLoft® Black Insulation Rise
The jacket uses two different weights of PrimaLoft® Black Insulation Rise synthetic insulation in a body-mapped construction to balance warmth, comfort and freedom of movement.
Montane has used 80g throughout the body and 40g throughout the arms and hood to deliver ample warmth and freedom of movement where it's needed.
PrimaLoft® Black Insulation Rise is lightweight and highly durable synthetic insulation with a unique construction that allows it to resist compression and mimic the look and feel of down. Highly packable, it boasts an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio comparable to high-quality natural down without any of the faff, making it a great vegan-friendly alternative to down that can still perform even when wet.
PEAQ Lining
The jacket is lined with lightweight 20D PEAQ recycled nylon with a non-fluorocarbon DWR (durable water repellent), which helps protect the down inside from getting damp from moisture from damp midlayers or sweat.
PEAQ Down lining uses bluesign® approved recycled nylon plain weave, which is durable and abrasion-resistant yet lightweight. The lining feels soft next to the skin and is highly breathable, improving comfort and helping to regulate temperature during intense activity.
Fluorocarbon-Free DWR Finish
The outer and lining of the jacket are finished with a non-fluorocarbon DWR (durable water repellent) coating to encourage rain, moisture and snow to bead off the material instead of soaking in, without the use of harmful forever chemicals.
Features and Functionality
Extended-Length Design
The jacket features a flattering, longer length cut to provide additional coverage and weather protection across the lower body. This helps improve the overall feeling of warmth in cold conditions and keeps your bottom nice and dry when the weather's not playing ball. It creates a clean and timeless silhouette suitable for everyday wear.
Pivot 2 Adjustable Hood
The jacket features a fully adjustable hood with a laminated, flat, stiffened peak for maximum shelter from the elements. The hood features Montane's PIVOT 2 hood system, which can be adjusted with one hand to provide independent aperture and crown adjustment for a secure fit that naturally moves with your head, improving visibility in poor conditions.
Protective Internal Baffles
The jacket uses Montane's unique IN-solation technology combined with PrimaLoft® Rise insulation for maximum warmth and efficiency. This technology works by using inward-facing baffles that allow the insulation to loft closer to the body for improved warmth. The cleverly orientated IN-vert vertical baffles wrap around the body, closing off cold spots, making the jacket feel warmer without adding more weight of insulation.
Storm Guard Zip
The jacket is fastened with a YKK Aquaguard Natulon recycled waterproof zip with an inner Storm Guard placket to help prevent water getting in through the zip and for additional protection against the elements. Combined with fully taped seams, the jacket provides dependable waterproof protection during prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Practical Pocket Layout
For storage, you'll find two zippered covered hand pockets with YKK Aquaguard Natulon recycled zips for secure storage of various everyday essentials. There is also an internal zipped chest pocket that offers additional space for valuables that you want to protect from the cold, such as a mobile phone.
Adjustable Fit
The jacket is finished with adjustable cuffs to further seal out the elements, helping to trap warm air inside the jacket and cold winds out.
Whilst a rear waist adjustment allows you to fine-tune the fit across various layers and cinch it in at the waist for better thermal efficiency on the coldest days.
