Advice on pile/pertex purchase

Grab it! Montane make gret gear abd that's a good price. Any chance you can get two? Id be very interested if so!

Yeah I'm going to pick it up anyway. If it's too warm I can pass it on.


Srsly tho what's happened to /out/
if it's not about something shiny consumer shit like knives you get no activity...

Guess no one else is a fan of pile and pertex.

Pile and pertex is a good combination, but the extreme smock is definitely for the winter only. Its its much above 0 you'll cook wearing it doing any real activity. However, strangely enough it doesn't feel that warm if you were just standing about.

What makes you say that?

Because its no warmer than a decent fleece. Synthetic fill jackets with similar weight are far warmer than pile and pertex clothing. The pile is there to soak up sweat and move it to the outside to be evaporated off, if it was too thick it wouldn't be able to do this as well.

Yes but if you stop after activity wearing any clothing you usually need to layer up.

I wouldn't want another pile layer as a static layer.

The medium is a kilo so not too bad as long as you're wearing it most of the time.

And that's what i mean, its not as warm as you would think as an insulation layer, so you'll need another on top or as a replacement

It's not designed as an insulation layer really tho is it.

I'm sure it's plenty warm compared to an equiv weight fleece, added bonus of windproofness and venting options

but of course it's not going to be as warm weight for weight as primaloft or down filled jackets.

I wonder what a good static layer would be to pair with something like this. I was thinking maybe even a paclite type waterproof might be good

Seems like a good price. I wouldn't know much about the thermal properties of it but the "soft" kind of material in these things alway worries me; I always think that just a stray gorse needle or a scrape from a rock will ruin the outer layer....

Pertex classic is tough as shit. I think its classic six on the extreme, only problem with it is the shite dwr but durability is almost a non issue

Ive got a buffalo teclite shirt, so a little warmer than this, and ive found an oversized primaloft belay type jacket to work best. Stick it on when you stop, take it off when you go. Down jackets would get soaked too fast, and considerimg the pile/pertex works fine wet sticking a shell on just makes everything a bit sweatier
Shell pants is a no brainer tho

A Buffalo techlite is far thinner than the extreme. Its more like their tecmax

The extreme would still need an over layer if you stop in cold weather (Which it will be unless you enjoy sweating to death) otherwise you'll chill badly.

teclite looks roughly equivalent to my MOD PCS lightweight thermal smock - pertex and fleece.

Yeah I'm thinking a primaloft jacket. I have a down jacket atm, but wouldn't fit even if I wanted to use it over the top, nevermind the moisture considerations.
