Reviews & Ratings for Montane Ground Control Jacket - Mens — 4 reviews — Page 1

What a great find, I was not familiar with the brand before seeing this jacket on Camp saver but am glad I found it. Immediately bought more Montane gear after this was delivered.
The jacket is extremely well made, the quality and attention to detail is evident even before you put it on. The current price on Campsaver is a bargain for a jacket of this quality, free shipping and quick delivery too.
The material is soft and comfortable yet study. It has a good two way zipper with a chin guard, no problems with annoying zipper catches on the fabric behind like you get with some jackets. Pockets are deep and warm, they are set slightly higher than usual allowing a backpack waist strap to be fastened. The Primaloft fill is warm yet packs down small for the amount of warmth it provides. The shoulder, waist and wrists are not baffled like the body and arms and are likely a bit tougher for these higher use areas. The hood is also insulated, it has draw strings to tighten down and has an adjustable metal insert for the peak. The hood can also roll down into a thick collar if preferred.

For me, the fit is perfect. 5'10 185lbs, size large. I usually need a large jacket but they are often slightly too big allowing cold air in, this is probably more fitted than most jackets of comparable size but not in a skinny jeans type of way, it fits very well and looks good too. It leaves enough room to layer.

It was purchased for off season hikes and around town on cold days. Looks like it will...

Athletic fit is fantastic and fits my build perfectly (5'11, 190lbs). Zero wind pass-through and the hood is great with the added structure of the wire brim. When the hood folds into the collar it makes a snug fit around the neck to keep the warmth in. Tight weave of the exterior is very smooth and doesn't make much noise when moving. Great jacket.

Best Hood Ever! Wow do I love the hood on this jacket. The wire reinforced brim can be adjusted to my liking and the fit around my head (no helmet) is fantastic. As indicated by the specs this one is a bit heavier than some but durability is an asset. Sizing is slim. At 5'8" and 165lbs I'm always between the M and L sizes. A large in this jacket is a bit tight around the upper back and shoulders for me but I'm not slim. Probably warmer than I need but I'm not in the frozen north.
