Built to breathe mountain air.

Our groundbreaking PETRICHOR TECHNOLOGY™ delivers exceptional breathability and waterproof performance to the Torren jacket, which is fully featured for big days out in the mountains. The PFC/PFAS chemical-free, high performance 3-layer fabric is highly breathable (RET 7) with excellent wet weather protection (20k Hydrostatic Head), and pit zips to dump heat on the move. The addition of a helmet-compatible hood, harness-compatible pockets, and two-way zip mean that when you must push hard for the summit, the Torren has the durability, protection, and performance to back your moves.

Our Verdict

The Montane Petrichor 3L Jacket offers exceptional protection for those who tackle mountain weather head-on. Built with Montane’s PETRICHOR technology, this jacket delivers impressive waterproofing, with a 20,000 mm hydrostatic head and RET <7 breathability, designed to keep you dry while minimising internal condensation. This balance is enhanced by generous two-way pit zips, allowing heat to escape on uphill stretches, so you stay comfortable even under a full pack.

PETRICHOR technology combines a non-porous hydrophilic membrane with a recycled Nylon 21D Ripstop outer and a durable tricot inner lining. The membrane actively manages moisture by transporting it away from the body, making it highly breathable even during intense activities. Furthermore, PETRICHOR TECHNOLOGY™ is environmentally conscious, entirely PFAS-free and treated with a non-fluorocarbon DWR finish.

The jacket’s minimalistic design houses several thoughtful features for the active hiker. The helmet-compatible hood, easily adjusted with three toggles, is a welcome addition for climbers and mountain walkers. This design also proves convenient for glasses wearers, creating a dry, clear space in heavy rain. The harness-friendly pockets are spacious enough for essentials. At the same time, the two-way Aquaguard main zip allows for quick adjustments on the move, which is ideal for quickly dumping heat.

Fit-wise, the jacket is tailored with layering in mind. Its generous cut allows room for base and mid-layers. Articulated sleeves and Velcro-adjustable cuffs to maintain a snug fit. However, the sleeves may feel long for some.
