Montane Allez Micro Hoodie

Lightweight POLARTEC Power Grid fabric delivers a superbly functional garment that can be worn either as a baselayer in cold conditions or as a lightweight mid-layer.

Envelop yourself in breathable warmth. Sometimes it's hard to stay snug without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but POLARTEC Power Grid delivers remarkable wicking and fast-drying capabilities, along with its exceptional warmth to weight ratio. It uses a bi-component knit construction featuring different yarns on either side of the fabric, this creates two faces: one that is optimised for moisture-management and movement and one that is optimised for quick-drying. Its grid construction is created by raised fabric pillars on the inner face. These create touch points for moisture management and movement. The open channels between these pillars ensure that the fabric delivers the highest levels of breathability, compression and the highest warmth per fabric weight. Articulated arms aid in high-reach movement, tailored specifically to prevent hem lift; maintaining coverage to repel nasty draughts. A stretch bound hood serves as extra protection against the elements, plus low profile cuffs with thumb loops aid in the retention of body heat. The half-length front zip with wind-strip exists for adjustable airflow and coverage; zip down to quickly dump excess heat and zip up to seal in the warmth on a bitter day.
