Montane Tenacity Jacket

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A capable all-rounder with a focus on movement and mountain function, ideal for mixed days when conditions stay dry but unsettled.

Montane says: 

Built to offer function and performance in the mountains, the Montane Tenacity Softshell Jacket is designed to move with you.

Constructed from GRANITE Stretch fabric, a double weave textile that maximises movement and comfort. This men’s softshell jacket provides exceptional wind resistance and water repellence, coated in a non-fluorocarbon DWR. Its adjustable hem offers a customisable fit, giving you optimal protection and ventilation in any weather.

Designed to move with you, the jacket features offset, minimal seams and double harness, pack compatible pockets for effortless storage and unrestricted movement. It’s the ideal choice for technical hikes and climbing adventures in alpine environments.

Our Verdict

The Montane Tenacity Jacket strikes a strong balance between protection, breathability and mobility, built with just the right level of structure for demanding days out. At 424g (Medium), it’s not the lightest softshell around, but it feels well-made. The GRANITE Stretch fabric is tough without being stiff, sheds wind, and light rain. The fit is active but unrestrictive, and the articulation through the arms allows it to move cleanly under load. I like the high-set hand pockets; they stay accessible with a pack, and the offset seams keep everything comfortable across the shoulders. Details are kept minimal but effective, with a tidy hem adjustment and simple cuffs that seal well without fuss.
