Hikers such as myself have been griping for years that there’s no such thing as a mountain-ready waterproof shell that’s really breathable, but Montane is getting close to proving us wrong with the Alta Lite Shell.
I’ve been hiking in the Montane Phase Lite jacket for the past three years, and I love it for straightforward walks in decent weather and in low-lying areas – it’s ultra-light, packable, and fends off the rain.
