Just to clarify for everyone what the Krypton jacket is that we have on special offer :-
the Krypton Equilbrium Jacket is a special production run from Montane, that is available exclusively from the Climbers Shop. It is not in the current Montane product range, but is essentially a Krypton Jacket made using Pertex Equilibrium fabric, rather than Pertex Microlight Ripstop, and in the case of the Black and Blue colours, has a lightweight microgrid fleece lining (The red shares the same lining as the regular Krypton - Dryactiv suede).
Pertex Equilibrium and Microgrid fleece obviously add a little weight to the regular Krypton design, with a medium size being about 250g heavier. However, this still is by no means a heavy jacket and it does offer better warmth than the regular Krypton. Pertex Equilibrium is also very hardwearing, superbly weather resistant and offers excellent temperature regulation and breathability. It isn't used for Rab's mega popular Vapour Rise range for nothing!
You could think of this as Montane's answer to the Rab Vapour Rise jacket, but with a tad more insulation and a more technical hood design.
Feedback from customers has commented that the fit of these jackets is quite....shall we say 'athletic'. They do come up a little bit snug particularly in the arms. We have suggested that ordering a size up from your normal size is usually a good move.
We have a number of other exclusive Montane kit, including Terra pants and Featherlite smocks https://www.climbers-shop.com/788/Montane_Special_Editions.aspx
