Mont Austral Jacket, by Doug
Hi Guys, Just got back from Tassie. Thanks for recommending the Mont jackets for Wendy and me. We used the jackets regularly over the 2 weeks in Tasmania, but the highlight was when my son and I (he borrowed Wendy’s jacket) did a 7hr day walk from Lake St Clair to the summit of Mt Rufus and back. We experienced rain, hail, snow and gale force winds during those 7hrs and remained warm and dry. Had we used the jackets that were recommended and sold to us by (name of retailer deleted) on our last visit to Tasmania, we would not have completed the walk, as those jackets soaked through after 10 minutes in moderate rain. They somewhat diminished the enjoyment of our last trip. We now use them for dry weather only. We’re very happy with the service, the advice and the jackets. Best regards, Doug (Wilderness Shop customer)

My Lightspeed jacket was lucky enough to see some wet weather action on its first trip out when I recently visited New Zealand’s Arthur’s Pass region. The stand out feature for me was the adjustability of the hood (with visor) around my face, head and helmet when the going got tough. It even tucks away neatly into the collar! The jacket is constructed from durable three-layer Hydronaute PRO™ fabric, boasting a water resistant main zip with storm flap on the inside for a sleek look. It has two waterproof chest pockets for safe storage of your GPS and other valuables. Adding to the list of features, it has water repellent pit zips for extra ventilation when you’re working hard. A nice finishing touch is the fleece-lined collar and chin guard to avoid that scratchy feeling when you’re zipped up tight. It’s the perfect all-weather companion for lightweight bushwalking or mountaineering; plenty of room for extra base layers in the snow without compromising its dynamic action cut.
