Montane Featherlite Down Women's Jacket

Product Information

This heavy but nimble boot comes with a recommendation from Peter Macfarlane in his winter 2022/3 tests. For people wanting a down jacket which can be used in a variety of conditions, without paying the earth for it, the Filoment is a strong contender. As such, the Microlight Summit can be worn either on top, or as more of a midlayer under a shell in really nasty weather. We don't feel the Arete is anything special, though it certainly does the job at a reasonable budget. This is great as whilst the Transcendant is the heavyweight of this review it can still readily be layered with other clothing for those colder days.

Montane Women’s Featherlite Down Jacket Review: Montane Women’s Featherlite Down Jacket

Whatever you are looking for you can be sure you are getting a bargain on leading designs in our Montane sale selection. But, if the state of our reviewer is anything to go by, it does seem to take on dirt/stains quite easily. Belay in it; camp in it; climb or walk in it; go to the pub in it; stuff it into the pack just in case. Unsurprisingly, the large gives good coverage and pulls on well over a shell or softshell when being used as a belay jacket or for lunch stops and the like. There's 100g of down in a medium jacket - a bit less than many of the jackets on test, though the fill power makes up for that.If you're looking for the best warmth available at a minimalist weight, then this top-of-the-market down jacket must be pretty much the state of the art, reckons Dan Bailey. Endurance expeditions and athletes are critical in the development of our garment designs ensuring Montane clothing is fit for purpose. This works, but only up to a point, and it has to be said that the helmet-free fit around the sides and rear could still be tightened up.

Originally we were a little cynical as to why this wasn't removable, but it actually makes a whole lot of sense whilst using it, since it doesn't get lost!If you do decide to use the Cerium in this way then you're pretty much guaranteed to snag it on something, mostly because it doesn't take a great deal to snag. Depending when and where you use it, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does limit the Cerium SL's winter ability and counts against it if you're after a year-round jacket for a bit of everything.
