Montane products are defined in three fit categories, Active Mountain, Classic Mountain and Mountain Run. This is to help you choose the right clothing for the right activity and ensure the product fits as it was designed, for optimal performance. All our fit categories take into consideration layering systems. For example, if you fit a size medium Active Mountain Fit baselayer, you will need a medium sized Active Mountain Fit mid-layer and the same in a waterproof. Similarly, our Classic and Slim legwear take into consideration what you may wear over or underneath in various conditions, a winter weight trouser will have the space to wear Long Johns underneath (or Long Janes).
Please note all measurements are approximate. Montane reserves the right to amend specifications in the interests of improving their products.
Upper Body
Classic Mountain
Designed for mountain walking, mountaineering and more general use, these garments have a versatile, relaxed fit. Classic Mountain outer layers are cut slightly larger in the upper body to allow for bulkier winter layering underneath.
Active Mountain
Designed to be low bulk and to fit closely to the body, or to be layered with other non-bulky garments, these garments are intended for faster-paced mountain activities.
Mountain Run
These garments are designed for mountain running and are tailored to be closely form fitting.
Lower Body
Classic
Legwear designed for all-round mountain use. Classic Fit winter legwear allows for baselayer legwear underneath.
Slim
Tailored, closer fitting legwear for faster-paced mountain activities.
Mountain Run

Hiking, Trekking and Mountaineering Packs
These backpacks are fitted on back length. This is measured from your C7 vertebrae (the boney protrusions when tipping your head forwards) to the centre of the hip bone (where you ‘put your hands on your hips’). It is useful to have a friend help with this measurement.
