Montane Featherlite Wind Smock Review

BackpackingLight.com Awarded the Montane Featherlite Smock with its Coveted "Trail's Best" Award

In their highly acclaimed and comprehensive review, Wind Shirt Wars, the BackpackingLight.com product review staff chose the Montane Featherlite Smock among a crowded field as the 'best in review' and awarded it its Trail's Best Award:

"[The Montane Featherlite] was a clear favorite among our reviewers. Extreme light weight and packability means that the Featherlite will seldom (if ever) be left behind. Its simplicity of style was a refreshing option in a market flooded with "feature-rich" alternatives. Although our initial performance expectations of the Featherlite's Pertex Microlight were not optimistic, once we took the Featherlite to the field and put it through the ringer of heat, insects, rain, wind, and sun, we were beyond impressed and amazed that a 1.3 oz/yd2 fabric can perform to such specifications. One of the finest pieces of lightweight clothing we've seen, the Featherlite earns a well-deserved Backpacking Light Trail's Best Award."

I have used a few different windshirts this one has become my favorite it seems to be more breathable than the others I have used. It also seems to cut wind better, this is probably due to the fact that pertex fabric is used. I have owned a few different products using different pertex fabrics and have never been let down. I like the thoughtful features such as the reflective dots and the great cut. I really like the drop tail cut. This is an item I never leave without and probably could not live without. It gets year round use, from hiking in the desert in the spring to very cold mountaineering trips in the winter.
