The Montane Mens Alpine Endurance Waterproof eVent Jacket is a superbly crafted mountain jacket that provides a very high degree of protection against the elements at their worst and which also gives you a wide range of ways to adjust the fittings to exactly suit your needs and preferences.

Even though the eVent fabric is durable and features a triple-layer construction, it Is also lightweight so as to minimise any restriction while still providing that barrier to the weather.

And because this eVent material is highly breathable, you are much less likely to suffer the discomfort of perspiration lying on the surface of your skin because it is trapped within your top layer.

The Montane Alpine Endurance Waterproof eVent Jacket has great attention to details, for instance in the way the slightly larger chest and bicep measurements combined with the athletic fit in the body allow for winter layering to be worn underneath and to enable the creation of the most effective maximum micro-climate.
