While much of the country has experienced almost summer-like weather, the truth is that winter just ended officially this week. So before you break out the flip flops remember the calendar still says March and cool temperatures will likely return. Fear not because Montane’s Trojan and Athena jackets – which Backpacker Magazine called the “Most Breathable” mount shells – will allow you to fend off that springtime chill.
New to the Montane line for this season, the ultra-breathable shell, made of eVent membrane offers a streamlined design while still providing two large chest pockets to carry maps, snacks or of course the GPS and phone. Thanks to the lightweight fabric these weigh in at just 12.7 ounces and will keep you covered up for short alpine climbs or even long treks.
