If you’re in the market for jacket that combines unrestrictive movement and comfort in a lightweight package, then look no further than Montane’s Tenacity Nano Hoodie.
Useability & Construction
Designed to cope in changing weather conditions (which ideal for British weather!) and activities, this softshell jacket is anything but. Made from GRANITE Stretch Nano a tough fabric twinned with 4-way stretch construction. Meaning the Tenacity Nano Hoodie allows you to have free range movement, making it a great option for those who climb, scramble, run or hike. While also being surprisingly soft and comfortable.
The Tenacity Nano Hoodie is really user friendly with its abundance of features designed to make the wearer comfortable as possible. One feature being its adjustable hem and hood this allowed me to alter the fit with ease. It also boasts very large harness compatible pocket, that easily fit larger phones, maps and Tangfastics.
In addition, the jacket also has a built-in chin guard and peaked hood which came in handy when it rained. But the hood is also fully adjustable for a more precise fit meaning it can adapt to numerous weather conditions.
Do keep in mind that this jacket is a snug fit with quite a high hem. So, if possible, try a larger size if you prefer a looser fit.
Weather Resistant & Breathable
On the hikes I’ve worn this jacket. I’ve encountered multiple weather conditions from blazing sun, blustering winds, and the traditional British staple. On and off showers.
I was pleased with how the jacket performed especially how it managed to keep out blustering coastal winds when walking the costal path between Saltburn to Whitby. It’s breathability and ventilation also shone through keeping me pleasantly cool and not that sweaty!
Where this jacket really impressed is that it comfortably kept me dry when the heavens opened on more than one occasion. The non-fluorocarbon DWR treatment worked brilliantly, allowing the water to bead and be shaken off with ease.
Final Thoughts
The Tenacity Nano Hoodie really does stand out. This versatile bit of kit is a great choice for those heading up into the mountains for its durability and resistance to multiple weather conditions. While also being able to withstand long days out on the trail thanks to its impressive breathability and comfortable fit. I would prefer a longer hem, but that’s just my preference. Overall this jacket is certainly coming with me on many more excursions.
Four and a half Tangfastics out of 5!
