Montane Dart Long Sleeve T-Shirt Review - “A great versatile baselayer and was my only choice for a recent multi-day hike.”
Posted by Rob Farquhar on Oct 22, 2024
If it helps, I’ll cut right to the chase, buy this baselayer.
Not just one but a few of them. I’ve worn mine in single digit figure walks in
the Yorkshire Moors through to 20°c sunny all-day mountain walks abroad, and on
every occasion I’ve always felt comfortable.
When it comes to sizing, stick with the size that you are if

Montane Alpine 850 Nano Down Hoodie Review - “I’ve loved this jacket since the moment I first tried it on. Super lightweight, really comfortable on and offering a lot of warmth for its weight.”

few days hiking in, what happened to be, changeable weather was certainly the
