The Montane Mens Tigertooth Pro Mountaineering Softshell Jacket is the ultimate protective jacket for mountain and snowfield expeditions.

This jacket is wind-resistant, water-resistant, highly breathable and blessed with extremely effective insulation that will keep you warm to the North Pole and back.

The very clever fabric that achieves most of this jacket’s functions is Polartec Power Shield Pro, which boasts a 5-metre hydrostatic head water-resistance level and blocks an impressive 99% of the wind. This material is also highly breathable to enable perspiration to be wicked away to help keep your skin much more comfortable so you can concentrate on your physical effort mountaineering, ice climbing, cross-country skiing or mountain walking, for example.

And there’s more as Polartec Power Shield Pro’s deep inner pile gives it an exceptional warmth-to-rate ratio.

A helmet-compatible mountain hood is integral to the Montane Tigertooth Pro Mountaineering Softshell Jacket and a range of adjustable items allows you to achieve exactly the customised fit you require for the particular challenges you are embarking upon.
