Introducing New PETRICHOR TECHNOLOGY™ Unlike traditional waterproof technology, our new PETRICHOR hydrophilic membrane actively breathes to physically transport moisture away from damp layers and skin, and out into the air. The membrane manages your own microclimate to enable you to move fast and light while staying dry - the harder you work, the harder it works. This technology excels even when your baselayer is slightly wet, the air is cold and damp, and you need to move fast through the mountains. Ultimate breathability, guaranteed shelter. 🌧️

Climbing Back in Time: Would Mallory & Irvine Have Made It Today? One hundred years after their mysterious disappearance, we're partnering with the Turner Twins who are setting out on a unique scientific expedition to find answers - not by climbing Everest, but scaling a 6,500m peak under similar conditions. With one twin wearing fully reconstructed 1924 expedition kit and the other equipped with the latest high-altitude gear, this project is designed to measure how far mountaineering has come in a century. In partnership with the University of Portsmouth, they'll compare everything from cortisol levels, dexterity, and thermal efficiency to overall physical performance. Follow the journey as we climb back in time - one peak, one question, and one century of evolution in mountain gear. Click the link below to learn more. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/g_2TSW9W

Monthly recap: July 🏃♀️🍃 July brought the highly anticipated Lakeland 50 & 100, an event truly special on the Montane calendar. This race fosters an unparalleled sense of community and camaraderie. Witnessing participants leave absolutely everything on the trail as they tackle the beautiful fells of the Lake District is nothing short of extraordinary. We were incredibly proud to have our athletes, ambassadors, and employees compete across the weekend. A standout was Montane ambassador Joe Higgins, who completed the 50-mile race—his very first ultra-marathon! As we embrace the summer months, it's been fantastic to see our community out enjoying the outdoors. From big mountain days to climbing and hiking, we love seeing you live life outside.

Last week to celebrate Self-Care Day, some members of Montane HQ took a lunchtime walk to the beach - embracing the benefits of stepping away from our desks to recharge, refocus, and reconnect. From reducing stress to boosting creativity, a breath of sea air and a change of scenery go a long way. Here's to making the most of our location and prioritising well-being - even on the busiest days. #InternationalSelfCareDay #TeamWellbeing #BeachWalk #SelfCareAtWork

We’re proud to once again sponsor the Montane Lakeland 50 & 100, returning on 25th July 2025 for its 18th edition. Recognised as the UK’s premier ultra trail race, the Lakeland 50 & 100 takes runners on a non-stop journey through the dramatic, rugged beauty of the Lake District — covering 50 or 105 miles of relentless, awe-inspiring terrain. With ever-changing conditions and a course that demands physical endurance and mental resilience, this event pushes participants to their limits. Those who cross the finish line in Coniston don’t just complete a race — they become legends. At Montane, we’re committed to supporting those who embrace challenge, seek out the wild, and test what’s possible in the outdoors.

1 week until the Montane Lakeland 50 & 100 🙌 We’re celebrating 18 years of stories, friendship, and unforgettable memories - and this year, the theme is you. Everyone who lines up has a story. One of those belongs to Jackie Stretton, returning for her 10th Lakeland 100 with 9 finishes already earned. "In 2012, I was told I'd never run again after a car crash left me in a coma with a broken back. Two years later, I crossed the Lakeland 100 finish line. This race isn’t just about miles—it’s about grit, recovery, and becoming part of something bigger. Lakeland isn’t just a race, it’s a family." Behind every bib number is a journey worth telling. Here’s to the people who make the Lakeland more than just a race.

Last week, a team from Montane HQ travelled to North Wales to take on the Hike Bike Paddle Challenge — competing against other outdoor industry brands, all in support of the Youth Adventure Trust The Youth Adventure Trust is a fantastic charity that helps young people build confidence and resilience through outdoor experiences. It was inspiring to see firsthand the incredible impact they have on children’s lives. We’re proud to share that the team finished 2nd overall, securing 1st place in the Hike section! It was a beautiful but scorching day, which made the challenge all the more demanding. Huge congratulations to our team and to everyone who took part 👏 There’s still time to donate and support this amazing cause — every contribution helps make a difference. https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/eM3-_3-J Hannah Campbell Laura Geere Charlie B.
