Montane Dart XT Zip Neck – Past Season Colours

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

UOG TOP PICK – Dart XT Zip Neck A warm, well-fitting and incredibly soft and highly mobile baselayer for winter trail running and cooler weather hiking. It’s one of our favourite winter baselayers and one of our top picks!

Montane says: 

High performance thermal long sleeve zip neck baselayer.

The ultimate high-alpine or expedition baselayer. Polygiene treated Apex Thermo Eco fabric with a brushed back offers long-term comfort whilst its 4-way stretch allows for unrestricted dynamic movement without compromising thermal efficiency.

Our Verdict

I’m a massive fan of this primary layer. It’s incredibly soft, so soft in fact I had to double-check to see if it was a Merino blend (which it’s not). The 4-way stretch Polyester and Elastane blend makes this a highly mobile, unrestrictive layer which will excel at all outdoor pursuits in the cooler climate.

It’s a close-fitting layer that works hard, moving moisture away from the body, and when you are really pushing yourself, the 1/4 length YKK zip helps dump heat and moisture quickly. There isn’t anything to dislike about the new member of the Dart family. It will keep you warm, dry and smelling fresh thanks to the Polygiene treated fabric.
