Montane outdoor apparel and equipment

Montane is a prestigious British outdoor performance brand known for its pioneering role in lightweight and breathable technical gear. Founded in 1993 by Chris Roff and Jake Doxat, the company established its reputation through innovative products like the 'Extreme Smock' and the 'Featherlite' windshirt, which revolutionized softshell and windproof garment design for mountain professionals. Based in Ashington, Northumberland, the brand has maintained a strong identity rooted in the 'Further. Faster.' philosophy, designing products specifically for endurance sports such as mountaineering, trail running, and Arctic expeditions.

In March 2020, Montane was acquired by Inverleith LLP, an Edinburgh-based specialist consumer brand investor. This transition in ownership was aimed at expanding the brand's international distribution and scaling its product development while maintaining its core focus on performance and technical excellence. While the brand is quintessentially British in its design and heritage, its manufacturing is distributed globally to specialist facilities in countries such as Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, ensuring high standards of technical production and adherence to international labor practices through partnerships like the Fair Wear Foundation.
