Overall Score ★★★★☆

Verdict: A great, well-made micro-down jacket at a reasonably good price!


The Montane Icarus jacket boasts versatility and comfort, making it a good choice for a range of outdoor adventures in various conditions.

 

Its snug fit provides warmth without overheating, especially in cool, windy weather, while the synthetic PrimaLoft ThermoPlume fill offers a soft and comfortable feel akin to down insulation.

 

Despite its lightweight design, the jacket's Pertex® Quantum Eco outer fabric ensures durability and weather resistance, enhancing its performance in challenging environments.

 

While it may not match the compressibility of down jackets, the Icarus excels as part of a layering system, offering ample mobility and functionality with its high-placed pockets and elasticated cuffs.

 

Competitively priced, it delivers excellent value for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable warmth and comfort in a versatile package.
