UOG TOP PICK – Top Pick for Fast-Moving Alpinists: The Montbell Peak Shell Jacket combines ultralight GORE-TEX protection, improved ventilation, and a precision fit, ideal for high-output missions in variable mountain weather.\nMontbell says:\nAn ultra lightweight model with pitzips for ventilation and a chest pocket, which can be compactly stored. It uses a waterproof breathable GORE-TEX fabrics that excels in lightness and durability, making it ideal for activities with high physical activity.\n\nOur Verdict\nThe latest Montbell Peak Shell Jacket updates a proven design with a 3-layer GORE-TEX construction and much-needed pit zips, providing improved weatherproofing and genuine ventilation to a shell that remains impressively light at 189g (Medium). The fit remains trim yet layer-friendly, thanks to a well-articulated cut and Montbells K-Mono pattern, which minimises seams without restricting movement. I wear a Large, and the fit was spot on, something that hasnt always been guaranteed with Montbell.\nThe tri-axial hood is highly adjustable and tracks well with head movement, and the Alpine Cuffs do a good job of sealing out wind and wet. The chest pocket is well-placed for a harness, but the lack of hand pockets remains a noticeable omission in cooler climates.\nBreathability has improved considerably with the new venting, and the jacket now holds up better during sustained effort in mixed weather. For fast-moving hikers and alpinists seeking a minimalist hardshell that performs effectively without weighing them down, this is an excellent choice. \n- Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor Gear\n(Unfortunately, we are unable to ship MontBell products outside of the UK)\n\nFeatures\n\nOriginal \
