Full details

The Montane Polaron XT Down Hoodie Jacket is designed for adult women seeking comprehensive warmth and protection during cold winter outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing reliable insulation that maintains performance even in wet conditions, thanks to premium gold-infused ExpeDRY down and a windproof Pertex Quantum outer. A potential caveat for some users might be its regular fit, which may not suit those preferring a very slim or very relaxed silhouette.

FAQs

What is the fill power of the down and why is it important?

The jacket uses 750+ fill power down. Fill power is a measure of the loft or fluffiness of down; higher fill power indicates better insulation for its weight and superior compressibility.

How does ExpeDRY technology work?

ExpeDRY technology uses a gold infusion in the down. This process speeds up evaporation, helping the down retain its insulating properties by drying faster in humid or wet conditions without the need for chemical treatments.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

The jacket has a PFC/PFAS-free DWR finish on the Pertex Quantum outer fabric, which repels light rain and snow. For prolonged or heavy rain, a waterproof shell layer would be recommended.

Is the jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the jacket is designed for cold winter days and harsh conditions, offering significant warmth and protection. For extreme cold, consider layering with a warm mid-layer.

What does 'REACH+' fit refer to?

REACH+ fit refers to optimized patterning designed for exceptional arm lift and articulation, allowing for unrestricted movement, especially relevant in technical climbing or high-reach activities.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The jacket weighs approximately 575g (20.3oz) for a UK size 10.

How do I maintain the jacket's water repellency?

The jacket features a PFC/PFAS-free DWR finish that can be renewed by washing and tumble drying, and by reapplying a suitable DWR treatment after washing.

Troubleshooting

Down clusters appearing through fabric.

This is normal for high-quality down products. Gently pull the cluster back to the inside of the fabric. Do not pull hard as this can enlarge the hole.

Jacket feels damp or less insulating.

The down may have absorbed moisture. Ensure the jacket is completely dry according to the care instructions. The ExpeDRY down is designed to manage moisture, but prolonged saturation may require thorough drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and consider applying a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Reduced water repellency.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a PFC/PFAS-free DWR solution following product instructions after washing and drying.

Sustainable materials including recycled down and nylon.
Designed for harsh winter weather with extended coverage and protective features.

Cons

Regular fit may not be ideal for all body types or layering preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before wear. Adjust the hood aperture and waist drawcord for a snug fit.

Compatibility: Designed as outerwear for adult women, it pairs well with mid-layers for added insulation or base layers for moisture management. It is suitable for a range of outdoor activities in cold weather.

Care:

Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a specific down wash product. Do NOT use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore loft to the down. This may take several cycles. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
Reproofing: For optimal water repellency, reapply a PFC/PFAS-free DWR treatment after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store compressed for extended periods to preserve down loft.
