A rugged and breathable softshell that handles movement and wind confidently. A dependable layer for fast hikes and technical days in mixed conditions.
Montane says:
The Montane women's Tenacity Hoodie is an adaptable, highly breathable wind-resistant jacket engineered for both performance and moisture management.
Constructed from GRANITE Stretch fabric, a stretch double weave textile that's coated in fluorocarbon-free DWR, this softshell jacket provides exceptional wind resistance and water repellency. Its adjustable hood and hem offer a customisable fit, giving you optimal protection and ventilation in any weather conditions.
Designed to move with you, the jacket features offset, minimal seams and double harness, pack compatible pockets for effortless storage and unrestricted movement. It’s the ideal choice for technical hikes and climbing adventures.
Our Verdict
The Montane Tenacity Hoodie is a solid choice when you need more protection than a midlayer but don’t want to commit to a full hardshell. At 463g (UK12), it’s not the lightest, but it feels built for real use. The GRANITE Stretch fabric is tough, moves well, and cuts wind on exposed ridges while letting heat escape when pushing uphill.
The hood fits cleanly over a cap or helmet and adjusts well without leaving gaps. I like the simplicity of the hem drawcord and cuffs—no unnecessary tweaks, just what works. The two hand pockets sit high enough to be accessible with a harness or hip belt, and the seam placement avoids any pressure points under the straps.
