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.
