Our Storm Cruiser Jacket is the culmination of twenty-five years of tireless tinkering and innovation. The resulting product is a ridiculously capable jacket that weighs a mere 284 grams, which should no doubt please the ultralight enthusiasts. It’s made using a three-layer GORE-TEX C-KNIT membrane, which is not only completely waterproof, but is exceptionally breathable to boot. The fabrics alone make it ideal for alpine escapades, but that’s not all. Articulated patterning throughout won’t restrict dynamic movement, the Tri-Axial hood moves naturally with the head, the Alpine cuffs effectively block rain and snow, and Aqua-Tect zipper completely eliminates water ingress. It’s also harness-compatible, thanks to the high-set pockets. All in all, it’s a supremely functional jacket, and one that deserves top-billing on the Montbell marquee.
