Warmth and packability in a hut booty
Montane says:
Filled with high quality 750 fill power recycled down and constructed with a durable sole, the Polaron Slippers are ideal for use in mountain huts and bothies at the end of a long day. With removable soles to reduce weight and bulk on the move, they are the perfect companion to live in your backpack on multi-day trips.
Our Verdict
The Montane Polaron Slippers strike a good balance between lightweight construction and durability. At 142g (Medium), they are easy to justify carrying, yet the down fill quickly traps warmth, making cold evenings far more comfortable. The grippy sole and reinforced side walls hold up well on hut floors and short trips outside, while the stretch fleece cuff keeps heat from escaping. Fit is generally reliable, although the XL size may feel a little restrictive on wider feet. The ExpeDRY helps improve breathability through down treatment, which resists dampness and maintains loft in humid conditions. These slippers are best suited for hut and bothy use; they can, of course, be used in a tent, but I would avoid walking around camp in them.
