Still not better than the Montane Quick-Fire!  God knows why Montane have stopped making it, but its still on sale on Ebay from Craigdon Mountain Sports at £99....

Check how this review compares with the Quick-Fire review:http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/news/article/mps/UAN/4996/V/1/SP/362354506695294753664

Had my montane for 2 years now, roughing it in the Lesotho mountains and still going strong.

Peace.

The Rab is helmet compatible, the Quickfire, from memory isn't or wasn't, which makes the Momentum more versatile for climbers anyway. The Quickfire was basically a stripped-down Superfly. I have no idea why Montane discontinued it - actually my favourite lightweight waterproof jacket

As far as I can tell Montane feel - for whatever odd reason - compelled to replace their 'top end' Event shell every year or two

So they replaced the quickfire with the halo. Ok the halo isn't heavy but its also not really an outright lightweight jacket either. Perhaps they felt the quickfire was somehow too close to the atomic to keep both?

Does anyone know if this is ok with a day pack or if the shoulders and sides will wear quickly?

Thanks
