Montbell says:
The well appointed and value oriented Thunder Pass Jacket is cut full for effective layering and offers all of the basic features seasoned travellers require. Perfect for those needing a basic well rounded jacket to keep you dry and comfortable.
Our Verdict
The updated Montbell Women's Thunder Pass Jacket keeps its focus on practical performance, now with a more streamlined profile thanks to the switch to a water-resistant Aqua-Tect front zip. The full cut allows for easy layering, while articulated sleeves and a tri-axial hood offer improved range of motion and visibility in poor conditions. At 335g (Medium), it strikes a useful balance between durability and packability, and the 3-layer DRY-TEC fabric continues to impress with its high waterproof and breathability ratings. Built from 50-denier ripstop nylon and seam-sealed throughout, it’s a reliable, no-fuss option for wet weather days where fit, weight, and resilience all matter.
