Construction Constructed from lightweight 40 Denier GORE-TEX fabric with 70 Denier GORE-TEX in high abrasion areas you can now be sure that you will be totally protected from the elements as well as protected from wear and tear. That said, using layers I’ve coped with minus 15 degrees celsius and managed to keep warm (as long as you keep moving) and I feel the cold before most usually. The full length AquaGuard front zip is really good at keeping the weather out, however this does make it a bit stiff to move up and down.

In addition, I have also used the jacket as an emergency windproof on good weather days, because it takes less space than my heavier windproof jacket in my rucksack, and it’s worked really well in these conditions too without any undue condensation or perspiration build up to note.

Hi, I'm Michael Lanza, creator of The Big Outside and former Northwest Editor at Backpacker magazine. Montane Ajax GORE-TEX Jacket The Montane Ajax Jacket is a tough uncompromising winter mountaineering shell designed for all-mountain use, a GORE-TEX fabrication surrounds you with lightweight breathability and unprecedented waterproof protection. My only current criticism has been the stiffness of the zips, but as I have Raynaud’s getting colds hands is no-no for me and will not necessarily be such an issue for other people. We may be able to arrange for a repair to be carried out at your cost, so please contact us for further details if you would like to use this service.

The last jacket was very well used and versatile, so I wanted to get another jacket that would be as durable and could be used for a variety of outdoor activities. The Montane Ajax jacket is labelled as ideal for climbers, mountaineers and mountain walkers looking for a no-nonsense, uncompromising waterproof shell jacket. Faults deemed to have been caused by misuse or improper care (including washing not in accordance with the product wash care instructions) are not covered by the guarantee. The details The Ajax packs in the features—like a roll-up, three-way adjustable hood that fits over ski helmets, an extended collar, and large hand pockets for maps or gloves—without a lot of bulk (it packs down to the size of a 1-liter water bottle). This is great in terms of waterproofness, but a bit annoying when you have to take your gloves off to open and shut the zip and pockets.Weighing in at 444g, it’s neither the lightest or the heaviest they make and is designed to be suitable for a diverse range of activities, whether that’s summer hillwalking or four-season mountaineering. Zip up the jacket front and cinch the hood tight, and you can bury your face up to your nose behind nylon. Outdoor Action Recommends using recommended cleaner such as Nikwax Tech Wash or Grangers Performance Wash. Do not use powder detergents or any products that contain fabric softeners, conditioners, stain removers or bleach as they will affect garment performance.
