The push towards more sustainable garments in the outdoors has resulted in a new generation of waterproof/breathable shells, and Montane’s Torren Jacket is one of the leading contenders of this new breed of garment.
Using the company’s new Petrichor technology that focuses on breathability and sustainability, the Torren Jacket is a premium mountain jacket that features a helmet-compatible hood, pit-zips, two-way YKK Aquaguard main zip, articulated arms allowing freedom of movement, and its shell face and backer are made of 100% recycled materials. It also has a Fluorocarbon-Free DWR coating on the shell fabric to bead and shed water. All in all, it’s a jacket that ticks the right boxes for today’s mountain-goer – it’s waterproof, breathable, functional and has strong sustainable credentials.
What is PETRICHOR?
Montane’s PETRICHOR 3-layer technology delivers waterproof (20,000mm Hydrostatic Head), exceptionally breathable performance to the Torren Jacket. It scores a RET rating of less than 5, which means it is ideally suited for high-output activities in the outdoors, where it will remain breathable to keep you dry inside and out. This is achieved through the windproof, non-porous hydrophilic membrane that transports water vapour and moisture away from the body, an effect that increases as you work harder. The 3-layer construction sandwiches the waterproof membrane between a 100% recycled, 21D Ripstop nylon face fabric and the lining, for improved durability and next-to-skin comfort.
Torren Jacket
Everything about the Men’s Torren Jacket has been designed for industry-leading moisture management performance. In addition to the highly breathable PETRICHOR waterproof fabric, large pit-zips have been incorporated to be used on the move and provide adaptable ventilation. This means you don’t have to stop to switch out a layer, boosting your performance and helping to keep you protected as you strive to hit your high-altitude goals. The Torren Jacket has been awarded a prestigious ISPO award, recognition for its advancements in waterproof technology, particularly around addressing the current challenges prevalent in the outdoor industry. This recognition underscores Montane’s dedication to pushing boundaries and setting new standards.
