Montane, the British performance clothing and equipment brand trusted in the world’s harshest environments, unveils its SS26 Collection – engineered through extensive development and testing across mountain terrain.
Two years of development and athlete testing have shaped the SS26 collection. Hundreds of hours refining and optimising each design, and countless more pushing it to the limits. The result is a collection that prioritises stability, fluid movement and lightweight protection. Every piece is engineered to perform where it matters; on the climb, across the ridge, and for life between destinations.
Built around a modular approach to layering, SS26 focuses on reducing weight, improving breathability and enhancing durability across mountaineering, hiking and trail running systems.
Lightweight Weather Protection
Built for fast-moving days in exposed mountain environments, the Alta Lite Waterproof Jacket delivers storm-level waterproof protection in a stripped-back, lightweight package. Refined alpine patterning and a pared-back feature set reduce bulk while maintaining durability and breathability.
Designed for hiking, travel and everyday mountain use, the Norste Waterproof Jacket offers dependable waterproof protection with an emphasis on comfort during prolonged wear. For SS26, updated construction improves breathability through reduced seam taping and a laminated pit-zip installation, allowing excess heat to escape during steady-paced movement without compromising weather protection.
The Featherlite Hooded Jacket, weighing just 110g (men’s medium), delivers ultra-light, highly packable coverage designed to be carried with minimal weight penalty and used when conditions change.
Precision Fit and Legwear Development
Legwear is a key focus for SS26, with refinements driven by extensive testing and wear feedback. Updated patterning introduces a pre-active stance articulation, optimising fit for dynamic movement while improving comfort during sustained effort.
The Ineo Tights and Mossa Pant benefit from these updates, alongside refinements to construction and finishing that deliver a more durable, considered product suited to technical mountain use and long days outdoors.
VIA Trail Running: SS26
The SS26 VIA trail running collection is developed for speed, precision and long-distance performance on technical terrain. Informed by Montane’s experience supporting endurance events such as the Spine Race and Lakeland 50 & 100, VIA products prioritise stability, packability and reduced bulk.
The refined SS26 Minimus Lite offers ultra-packable waterproof protection for fast-moving mountain runners, while the latest generation Gecko Pack builds on Montane’s expertise in running vests and packs – delivering stable, bounce-free load carry designed for long efforts at pace.
