I like the automatic hood feature at 0:15 haha

Yes very funny! When I was a lad you had to judge for yourself if it was raining! I guess its uses your phone signal to talk directly to a mountain forcast app? :)

@ZacPartr1dge Год назад

How does this compare to the Rab Xenair Alpine Light? I’m aware it’s less insulated but more breathable than the regular Xenair

@trekitt Год назад

Very similar, basically a matter of choose your preferred brand. Warmth and breathability are virtually identical.

@robertduncan3259 2 года назад

How does this compare to the Rab Mens Xenair Alpine Jacket and the ATOM AR Hoody?

@trekitt 2 года назад

Less insulated than both but probably the most breathable. Also the softest/most comfortable of the three in my opinion. Harry

Trying to decide between this and their Icarus as a throw on all year jacket?

@trekitt 4 месяца назад

For an all year jacket we would argue the Fireball is a more adaptable option. The Icarus is warmer and more wind resistant, but as a result is less breathable. However, if you use the Fireball in windier or colder conditions you may find you want to pop a shell over the top to keep the wind off. The Fireball is a jacket you're more likely to pop on and leave on for more of the day vs the Icarus which you may find too warm when you're a little more active and need to take it off more frequently.

I have an inquiry unrelated to the video. Can the Montene Fireball XT Jacket be compressed into a smaller size? Please tell us. For reference, I bought a montane ground jacket thinking it would be compressed to a small size, but I was disappointed. Please indicate compression information on the jacket.

@trekitt 9 месяцев назад

If you're referring to the Montane Ground Control Jacket, the Fireball XT uses less insulation so should pack down smaller, but as with any synthetic jackets they will not pack down as small and as light as a high fill power down jacket, but the benefits of synthetic can outweigh the potential downsides, which of course are subjective to the situation and the individual users needs.

Can you do a review on the new montane icarus jacket

@flashman3962 2 года назад

So this is almost identical to the Patagonia Nano Air but quite a bit cheaper?

@trekitt 2 года назад

Pretty much!

@27johnny 2 года назад

Fireball RRP £200, Nano Air £220. Not a huge difference. Both can usually be found a lot cheaper too.

@sashinger5230 2 года назад

Looks great, thanks for the insights! It seams quite comparable with the Atom LT. How tough would you consider the outer fabric in terms of abrasion resistance?

@trekitt 2 года назад

Similar to an Atom LT in terms of abrasion resistance. I wouldn't go bramble-bashing in it, but it's tough enough for most activities. Harry

@grahambates7063 2 года назад

Great reviews. I am looking at getting either the Fireball or the Rab Xenair Alpine. Which do you think is the better jacket for hillwalking?

@trekitt 2 года назад

It depends how you're using it. As a layer to wear when moving, probably the Fireball. For me, the Xenair would be too warm for active hillwalking here in the UK. As something to wear when static, Xenair.

@trekitt 2 года назад

For everyday use the Beta LT is a good option. Can be used for pretty much any outdoor activity as well. Harry

@sacberr 2 года назад

Nice review! Would this jacket be breathable and warm enough to work as a midlayer for skiing with just a baselayer underneath and a hardshell on top?

@trekitt 2 года назад

Warmth-wise it depends where you're skiing, at what time of year and with what baselayer underneath. It's definitely breathable enough to be used for skiing; whether you need a hardshell over the top or not will depend on the weather and personal preference. Harry

@dudeymcduderson 2 года назад

This seems to be very similar to the Montane Prism jacket

@trekitt 2 года назад

It is, but feels more premium, is warmer and personally, I prefer the fit. Nothing wrong with a good ol' Prism though. Harry

@trekitt 2 года назад

@@sacberr Slimmer than the Prism.

@atideva3385 Год назад

Hiya I'm trying to decide between the prism and the fireball, it'll be Swedish winters using as a mid layer with fleeces underneath. I don't want it tto be versatile all rounder I can use in autum and spring also, I'm worried the Prism might not be quite warm enough, which would you recommend? Thanks

@trekitt Год назад

As a midlayer the Fireball would be my choice. It's more breathable and a little softer/more comfortable. Harry

@atideva3385 Год назад

@@trekitt thanks Harry, is it much warmer than the prism? I'm worried it's not very windproof? Thanks for the help 😊

@trekitt Год назад

@@atideva3385 It's not windproof, which is why as a midlayer it's pretty much ideal. The Prism is the better outer. Warmth wise they're not a million miles apart.

@atideva3385 Год назад

@@trekitt ok thanks so much for the advice, my final question is do you think these jackers are warm enough as a mid layer , to cope with below zero, -5 like that , maybe with a fleece as well ? Thanks Harry

@SigurdKempf Год назад

Great video, thanks! What’s the denier rating of the face fabric? Thanks again

@trekitt Год назад

Good question-Montane haven't provided this info for some reason. Might be worth dropping them a quick email and they'll be able to help you out.

@@trekittt’s 12x30D. Which places the tear resistance somewhere between 12 and 30D. I’m afraid I’ll tear or rip it brushing up against a branch or a sharp rock. How have you found the outer face fabric durability? Thanks again

@13saz 2 года назад

Warmer than the Atom LT and perhaps as warm as the Patagonia nano air?

@trekitt 2 года назад

Similar to an Atom LT, but I've not tried the Nano Air, so I couldn't compare I'm afraid. Harry

@zoeychew757 2 года назад

I'm a little torn over Montane Prism or Fireball. What would you recommend for a 6 days hike out there in Kungsleden come August? Cold, and most likely raining all day but I'll have add a Hardshell Jacket outside.

@trekitt 2 года назад

I'd go for the Fireball. It's more breathable, a little softer and just feels a bit nicer. The Prism is great as an outer but not as suitable as a midlayer. Harry
