Michael Hemsworth — September 26, 2025 — Fashion
The Montane Phase jackets are being added to the brand's hiking outerwear range as a series of performance-driven garments that are constructed with a PFAS-free design. The jackets come in the form of the Phase and the Phase Lite, which are each crafted with the GORE-TEX ePE three-layer shell material that offers windproof and waterproof properties. The material is engineered with performance in mind, but also maintains a lower environmental footprint and a PFAS-free design.
The Montane Phase jackets weigh in starting at around 420-grams for the Phase, while the Phase Lite comes in at around 320-grams with each one weighing slightly more depending on the size. The jackets are all available now directly from the brand starting at £350.
