Size guide

The Protium Lite is Montane’s latest take on an ultra-lightweight waffle fleece, perfect for versatile adventures. Slightly warmer than its predecessor, the Allez Micro Hoodie, the Protium Lite can handle a few degrees colder temperatures before you need to add another layer. Despite the added warmth, it retains all the same key features: it’s thin, breathable, and wicks moisture exceptionally well, making it the perfect companion for use as a base layer under a windproof jacket in virtually any weather condition during three-season hikes.

This fleece is highly adaptable, functioning as both a base layer and a mid-layer. In fact, we find it works as a base layer directly against the skin about 80% of the time and as a mid-layer over a thin merino shirt the other 20%. Thanks to its super-fast drying capabilities, it’s often the only shirt you need to pack on a trek—by the time you’re ready for bed, it’s almost always dry.

The jacket version features a full-length zipper and handy side pockets, making it not only an excellent outdoor fleece but also a practical hoodie for travel or daily use. Whether you’re hiking, traveling, or simply looking for a comfortable everyday layer, the Protium Lite is your go-to solution.

Montane Protium Lite Hooded Fleece Jacket W’s

The Montane Protium Lite is an ultra-lightweight waffle fleece, tailor-made for hikers seeking simplicity and efficiency. Many ultralight hiking enthusiasts have embraced this style of shirt paired with a wind jacket, reducing the need for multiple layers. In most conditions, a single Protium Lite and a jacket are all you’ll need. Its open-structure fabric ensures versatility across a wide temperature range:

  • Warm Weather: Wear it alone.
  • Cool Weather: Pair it with a wind jacket, leaving the zipper open.
  • Cold and Windy Weather: Close the jacket zipper and use both hoods.
  • Freezing Conditions: Add a thin extra layer underneath or over the fleece (the Protium Lite layers exceptionally well).

Designed for Performance

The Protium Lite’s fabric efficiently wicks moisture from your skin to the garment’s exterior, drying remarkably fast. The inner surface only lightly touches the skin, ensuring comfort even when damp. Its waffle structure enhances breathability, keeping you comfortable during high-intensity activities.

Thanks to Polygiene treatment, the fleece stays fresh and odor-free for longer. With extensive experience using Polygiene-treated garments, we can confidently say it effectively keeps odors at bay.

When used as a mid-layer, the Protium Lite is ultra-light and packs down small, making it a great addition to your backpack.
