Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Tramontane Jacket useful as a backup layer?
It is light, compact and easy to keep inside a backpack, travel bag or vehicle. When wind picks up, the temperature drops or light rain appears, you can quickly add a protective wind layer without carrying a bulky jacket all day.
What is the benefit of packing into its own chest pocket?
You do not need a separate stuff sack. The jacket stores into its own chest pocket, making it easier to keep organized for travel, running, cycling, hiking or everyday emergency carry.
How does WindPack® Nylon help during active use?
WindPack® Nylon is lightweight, quick-drying and wind-resistant, so it works well for activities where you want light wind-resistant coverage without the heavy feel of a thick outer jacket.
Is it suitable for rain?
It has DWR treatment for light rain and damp conditions, but it is primarily a packable wind jacket rather than a full rain shell. For prolonged or heavy rain, a dedicated rain shell is the better choice.
Who should choose the Tramontane Jacket?
Choose it if you want a very light, packable wind layer for hiking, travel, running, cycling, camping or city use, especially when the weather may change but you do not want to carry a heavier jacket.
