A proper layering system can certainly help any waterproof jacket with its performance and breathability. Once it is dry, tumble dry your garment for a further 20 minutes to reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment on the outer fabric. The Ajax Gore Classic SE Jacket is ideal for those looking for a no-nonsense, uncompromising waterproof shell jacket. If you are unable to tumble dry, iron the dry garment on gentle setting (warm, no steam) by placing a towel or cloth between the garment and the iron.

I have a lihgter Haglofs paclite Lim that too is not the best in breatabillity but again spent most of its days packed away in pack before i retired it. The Ajax jacket from Montane has been engineered for winter mountaineering with climbing specific features and a tough Gore-Tex® shell.When the factory applied treatment can no longer be reactivated, apply a new water-repellent treatment (Montane recommends Nikwax T. Trail cred “The hood fits a helmet, but doesn’t sag in your eyes or let water drip into your face when you’re not wearing one,” says an Alaska tester. In the unlikely event of a lost parcel, Outdoor action will wait until confirmation from either Fed Ex or Royal Mail that the parcel has been lost, and in most cases will be approx 21 days after dispatch. This flexibility allows the jacket to be packed away easily and stows in less space than my previous one. That being said, I’ve found there’s still enough room underneath for a base and mid layer combination without any compromise on articulation throughout the arms and shoulders.

The two zippered hand pockets are each large enough to swallow a climbing skin, and the zippered chest pocket is fairly spacious, holding a hat and map. The Montane Womens Ajax Jacket is an extremely versatile and toughGORE-TEX® mountain shell cmbining ightweight 40 Denier fabric with 70 Denier reinforcements in high abrasion areas and a helmet compatible hood and articulated arms. My only current criticism has been the stiffness of the zips, but as I have Raynaud’s getting colds hands is no-no for me and will not necessarily be such an issue for other people.

In terms of standing up to the weather, I’ve been caught in a variety of conditions in the jacket including very strong winds and driving rain and a Cairngorm snowstorm for a number of hours, and I remained dry and warm throughout. I do run hot and I'm looking for a jacket to be used mostly March to November which from this review rules out this jacket. Should the item be found genuinely faulty we aim to reach a fair and agreed solution, which may be a refund, a replacement, or a professional repair. If you run warm this may not be the right jacket for you as the compromise is breathability, which would become more of an issue in the warmer months.

Montane Ajax GORE-TEX Jacket The Montane Ajax Jacket is a tough uncompromising winter mountaineering shell constructed using a GORE-TEX fabrication which adds lightweight breathable and waterproof protection. In addition, am a keen runner, so it would be used in bad weather conditions when my lightweight waterproof wouldn’t be enough. Hi, I'm Michael Lanza, creator of The Big Outside and former Northwest Editor at Backpacker magazine. We will always try to be very clear about the fault/repair to the item but occasionally there may be a small fault that is missed.The adjustable hood is helmet compatible so you can use it for more activities than just walking and two zipped hand pockets are positioned out of the way of harness and rucksack straps for your convenience. I think I'll have to make a decision tonight or soak my Decathlon Quechua FH500 in Nikwax and hope for the best. The material has a soft and flexible feel to it but without a sense of losing any durability, which is different to the predecessor (in my wardrobe) which had a stiffer feel to the fabric when packing away (but it was 15 years old and technical jackets have come along a lot in this time). This is great in terms of waterproofness, but a bit annoying when you have to take your gloves off to open and shut the zip and pockets.

The adjustable hood is also very well designed so that you can wear a hat, helmet or nothing and it remains in place in head strong winds.

Quite a few years back I bought a Berghaus Extrem Smock which I used mainly for Winter Mountaineering and Ice climbing. In addition, a durable water repellent (DWR) finish provides extra weather protection by shedding light rain off. The Montane Ajax Waterproof Jacket is the ultimate choice for adventurers seeking a durable and versatile GORE-TEX mountain shell. I've read a few threads on here with some people loving a jacket and others having absolute failures.
