The Anti-Freeze Lite Down Hoodie is a lightweight, versatile and highly packable down jacket.
Montane says:
The men’s Anti-Freeze Lite hooded down jacket is a minimalist master of lightweight insulation. Weighing just 330g makes this down jacket ideal for fast paced activities, where low weight is critical for performance. From fast packing adventures to running remote trails - this lightweight down jacket will keep you warm when you need it and can easily be stashed away in its own stuff sack when things heat up on the trail. Built with recycled outer fabric and responsibly sourced down, this down jacket offers a sleek layering option, or can act as a stand alone piece of kit in milder conditions.
Our Verdict
This super cosy down jacket is perfect for chilly mornings, breaking camp or on cooler evenings when you are off for a post-hike meal. It's not something I would do strenuous hiking in, as it would quickly become too hot, but it's fantastic for dog walks or just keeping the chill off on local walks. However, it will always be in my pack on any multiday hike; the instant warmth the jacket gives makes it perfect when you stop moving and don't want your core temperature to drop.
The anti-freeze has two hand-warming pockets and an internal chest pocket that can be zipped to keep valuables safe. The hood fits well and also adds an extra bit of warmth should you need it. The hood has two adjustment points around the face to keep the wind out, and the elasticated cuffs ensure a nice tight but not constrictive fit. I'm a medium in most Montane clothing and see no reason to size up or down.
The jacket stuffs into a small stuff sack, which, to be honest, I don't see myself ever bringing. If it stuffed it into its pocket, I'd see that as a plus, but having to bring an extra stuff sack, which I will undoubtedly lose, I can do without.
