Montane Icarus Flight Jacket
Combining innovative Primaloft ThermoPlume synthetic insulation with Thermo Stretch Pro fleece panels for enhanced thermal performance and articulation in alpine conditions. The Icarus Flight jacket can be used either as a mid-layer in cold conditions or as a stand-alone outer.
The New Montane Icarus Flight Jacket features Featherlite mini rip-stop 20D outer with a DWR (Durable Water Repellency) treatment. This technology provides lightweight durability prolonging the life of the jacket while offering a water-resistant coating to protect you in light showers.
In addition, Montane have added their innovative Thermoplume insulation that feels like down, acts like down, is super durable, doesn't take as much water on as down but is 100% synthetic. The material scientists at PrimaLoft have raised the standard with PrimaLoft Black Insulation Thermoplume, an all-synthetic package featuring down-comparable performance. A special blend of PrimaLoft proprietary fibres deliver the performance features you need - insulating loft, wet weather protection and compressibility. Warmth equivalent in construction to 550 fill power down - this comfort solution represents a breakthrough in styled performance.
To keep all of that warmth the ThermoPlume technology is creating from escaping, the Icarus yields YKK Vislon front zip that is great at creating a barrier between you and the cold. For that extra bit of protection, the Icarus also sports an internal storm flap behind the main zipper to keep you as comfortable as possible. Furthermore, the jacket provides additional features such as the Thermo Stretch Pro fleece panels for better breathability and freedom of movement in alpine conditions. This unique feature allows you to move freely without encountering any restrictions as well as dumps hot air to prevent overheating.
There are many factors of comfort built into the Icarus flight Jacket. The articulated arms mean you have restriction free movement, enabling you to feel less encumbered. The jacket also sports low-bulk cuffs, in order for your hands and wrists to feel less confined as well as meaning your gloves will not have a jacket cuff to fight with for movement. There is also an adjustable hem with cinchable drawcord for much-needed adjustability, while an insulated under-helmet hood provides additional protection and coverage to the head.
Convenience comes in the form of multiple pockets to store personal and essential items while you are on the move. A zippered internal chest pocket provides a safe storage space for small valuable items, while two zipped hand pockets offer convenient storage space for any items you need quick access to. Furthermore, the two zippered hand pockets provide a superb refuge for cold hands during bitter weather conditions, ensuring you stay fully focused on the activity you have planned.
