Our Verdict

The Montane Fury Jacket is an indispensable addition to any hiker’s wardrobe. Built with durability and breathability in mind, this fleece jacket offers impressive comfort across various conditions and activities. Crafted from Thermo Stretch brushed-back fleece, it perfectly balances warmth and weight, making it suitable for strenuous climbs and casual trails.

Upon testing, the Fury Jacket’s ability to regulate temperature stood out. During a brisk early morning ascent, it provided just enough insulation without causing overheating, thanks to its outstanding moisture management. The 4-way stretch fabric ensured unrestricted movement, which is crucial when navigating challenging terrains. Moreover, the low-profile seams enhance comfort, allowing the jacket to sit smoothly against the skin reducing the risk of chafing during long hikes.

The Fury Jacket’s practical design features also deserve commendation. The YKK reverse coil centre front zip is robust and easy to operate even with gloved hands. The regular fit offers ample space for layering without feeling bulky. Weighing 378g for a medium, it is lightweight enough to pack efficiently but substantial enough to provide reliable warmth.

Another strong point is the material composition, with 51% polyester, 39% nylon, and 10% elastane contributing to its durability and flexibility. The brushed-back fleece enhances the jacket’s thermal performance and adds a soft, cosy feel against the skin.

It might not be the most technically advanced jacket on the market, but for its comfort and versatility, it will probably be the jacket you use the most throughout the year.
