Montane

Montane is a British maker of lightweight, breathable outdoor clothing and equipment, set up in 1993 and run from an industrial estate in Ashington, Northumberland. Its range covers waterproof, insulated, down, softshell and windproof jackets, gilets, fleeces, base layers, trousers and tights, plus gloves, hats, neck gaiters and belts. On the kit side it makes backpacks, vest packs, waist packs, duffel and dry bags, and hydration vests, bottles and soft flasks. The firm made its name with the Extreme Smock and the packable Featherlite windproof smock, and it still tests designs with mountain rescue teams, polar teams and ultra runners on events it backs such as the Spine races and the Lakeland 100. Players buy Montane through outdoor and military kit shops, which UK airsoft stores also stock, or from the maker's own online store, which runs a stockist finder and a repair service.
