The Montane Men’s Aero eVent Pullover is a very high-quality top for use in a range of high-altitude walking and running.

You know such a garment needs to be waterproof, and of course this top is very waterproof, but for your comfort it also has to let condensation and perspiration dissipate into the atmosphere to stop you becoming and stating wet which is unpleasant but can also contribute to chilling the body. And the eVent Super Lightweight 3 Layer fabric is exceptionally breathable in its own right but helped by the ventilation system also blended into the design.

This highly technical fabric is also tear-resistant and so all these qualities together demonstrate the benefit of Montane’s long tradition of designing outdoors clothing for all altitudes.

A look at the design detailing listed below for under ‘Patterning and Design’ and ‘Technical Hood’ will show how much attention has been paid to making the Montane Men’s Aero eVent Pullover perform for you in use in ways that may never have occurred to you or which irritated you in other garments where less thought has gone into the small but significant details.
