Seems a very good price for a decent versatile jacket hence have ordered one!
Well I thought it was a good deal. Better than a minging green paclite anyway... 😉
I've had one for awhile now, great bit of kit. Given up carrying a windproof, just carry the montane
how small does this it pack up, is it similar to the featherlite thing thats goes in an apple sized stuffsack?
no, a bit heavier, a very nice jacket, still 99.99 in field & trek
must go and check bank before ordering tho!!

more a small melon than an apple but still pretty small for a taped seamed hooded waterproof. Also a lot lighter than many other more expensive jackets.
They are not the most breathable but a great bargain, although they have bumped up the rrp on that site. and I think dropped the actual weight?
http://www.montane.co.uk/productdetails.php?productid=108&rid=7 shows weight corect and rrp lower.
how do they size up?
Pretty standard I'd say. Similar to Altura maybe but longer sleeves than Endura. I'm 6'2" and 38" chest so a M was acceptable but I chose the L after trying on to get super long sleeves and a bit more tail length.
