The Climaplus Shearling Jacket is a reliable companion for those looking for a versatile and comfortable fleece that excels at everyday warmth and layering potential.
Montbell says:
Thick fleece features a fluffy, wool-like texture to provide excellent warmth as an outer layer in cold conditions. Comes with a smooth, wind-resistant lining to easily slide over other layers while also helping to block out wind. The lining fabric along the back and sleeves is arranged diagonally to facilitate stretch for enhanced comfort.
Our Verdict
The Montbell Climaplus Shearling Jacket is a cosy, versatile option for hikers. Its fluffy texture and thoughtful features make it ideal for cold-weather adventures.
Weighing 522g in a medium, this jacket balances warmth and portability. The long-pile fleece provides excellent insulation, effectively trapping heat, while the smooth interior makes layering over or under a layer simple.
The Climaplus has three zip pockets, two for hands and a zipped security pocket on the chest for keeping essentials secure. Small touches like the chin guard and easy-to-grab zip pulls demonstrate attention to comfort and usability, particularly when dealing with gloves or frosty conditions.
While not the most technical option for extreme conditions, its moderate breathability and soft feel make it a standout choice for general hiking, camping, or casual wear. It works well as an outer layer in crisp weather or as a mid-layer when the temperature drops.
