Montane Icarus Jacket
The Montane Icarus Jacket is super lightweight and packable, and at the same time, very warm, thanks to the PrimaLoft ThermoPlume micro baffle construction.
Elemental Protection
The Icarus Jacket has amazing elemental protection, made even more amazing with the knowledge that the fabric is recycled. This recycled fabric is Pertex Quantum Eco, which basically means that this fabric is completely windproof, shower proof, fast drying, compact and lightweight. This means it's great not just for mountaineering, hiking, expeditions, and climbing, it's also great for everyday life. The warmth is down to the Primaloft ThermoPlume synthetic fill, which mimics the loft and fill power of down, with the fast drying warmth of PrimaLoft insulation. The Icarus also has an insulated hood, so you can have both a dry and warm head when using it. To keep all of that warmth from escaping, the Icarus yields YKK reverse coil zippers that are great at creating a barrier between you and the cold. For that extra bit of protection, the Icarus also sports an internal storm flap behind the main zipper and an elasticated hem.
Comfort
There are many factors of comfort built into the Icaris Jacket. The articulated arms mean you have restriction free movement, enabling you to feel less encumbered. The jacket also sports low-bulk cuffs, in order for your hands and wrists to feel less confined as well as meaning your gloves will not have a jacket cuff to fight with for movement. There is also a micro-fleece chin guard to keep your chin warm and stop the jacket rubbing on your chin in such a way that it causes chafing. The ultimate comfort factor of this jacket though is the PEAQ Synthetic Eco Lining, which is very comfortable against the skin and very breathable. Therefore, whether it be scaling Ben Nevis or walking your dog along the canal on a cold winter's morning, the flux will keep you warm, dry and comfortable.
Convenience
The convenient elements of this jacket make it a handy jacket to have. It has two YKK zippered hand pockets which are great for carrying essentials securely. There is also a concealed chest pocket for that extra bit of secure, on the go storage.
