Christmas Cracker: Montane Jetstream
It's very small and it's very light, but it's also very, very useful. Montain's Jetstream windproof could be the ideal gift for the indecisive fast-moing outdoor person in your life :-)

We've told you about the Montane
Jetstream before, but trust us, it's worth repeating,
and it would be an ideal present for the fast-moving outdoors person
in your life.
The Jetstream's a super lightweight windproof jacket made from
Pertex Quantum with Shield Techology fabric, which is totally
windproof, decently breathable but, most importantly, as light and
small packing as a very light and very compact thing. Shield
technology is reckoned to make it tougher too.
It's a close-fitting fella with articulated arms, an active cut
with drop tail, 360-degree reflective dots for night time safety and
a high-cut collar.
The bit we really like though is that it fits into a neat little
arm pouch that you can wear round your bicep on those days when
you're not quite sure if you're going to need a windproof or not and,
because it's so small and so light, you barely know that it's there
until you need it.
Weight complete with stuff sac is just 97 grammes and the jacket,
on its own, is just 77 grammes and, trust us, that's light.
How much for the ultimate in lightweight windproof protection?
Around £60.
