Give bitter cold wind the slip when you wear the lightweight Montane Women’s Firefox Jacket. Insulated and windproof, the Firefox keeps warmth in and cold out. A DWR treatment on both the shell and lining provides water-resistance while strategically placed Primaloft insulation decreases bulk. Wear as a single layer on cold days or as a midlayer when the mercury really drops. Stash the Firefox into its own pocket when the weather eases up. A tapered cut gives the Firefox a contoured look as you climb, hike, or just run errands in town.

  • PLEASE NOTE: This garment fits close to the body and runs small
  • Backcountry.com is the exclusive US retailer for Montane products

Bottom Line: Zip up the Firefox and get the jump on Old Man Winter.

I LOVE this jacket. I got size 12 in vivid green. Its like a limey yellow, not green. It stands out in a crowd. I'm 5'8" and these sleeves are perfect length. The mid section goes straight down, not baggy but not fitted. Fine by me. Its surprisingly warm and wind resistant for being so light and stuffable. It holds wrinkles for a little while if you stuff it in a bag. Love it!

Review Title

Very pleased! Great color, warm yet light,not bulky,packs in a med-small sack. Beautifully made, good zipper w/nice chin guard. I'm 5'7 w/long arms. A Lg (US12)was perfect over the shoulders & in the sleeve. I only wish it were a bit more fitted through the torso. It leaves your middle looking like you could lose a few pounds.

This is a great coat! Its very warm, yet light and compactible. It is not a fitted coat, so the mid section is a bit big.

This jacket feels weightless and breathable. Perfect for cool days, hiking and running. The Steel color is very nice, not your boring black, and has very subtle pattern to it. I'm 5'7" and about 135lbs, usually wear small for the top and 6/8 for the bottoms. I got this jacket in US 8/UK 10 after reading that it runs small and it's an excellent fit for me, but I wouldn't say it's fitted. There's still plenty of room to wear thicker fleece top underneath. The sleeves are perfect length though, I think if I went a size smaller for a more fitted look, the sleeves would be too short. Overall I love it! I'd give it a 6th star if it had a hood that you could stuff into the collar :)

montane firefox jacket

By:

ok, i love this jacket, although ive only worn it twice. i ordered the medium and the large just to be sure, and the medium is just a little too tight if you want to wear a couple of layers. the large is a bit big in the waist area, but i'd rather be comfortable. anyway, i wore this on a night hike last week, when it was in the teens w/ the windchill, and it help up great! i kept it on the whole time, and i wasnt cold until we were stopped moving. it looks great too (i have the purple), and i love how it's so light. i would definitely buy another montane product.

Good layer

By:

The color is great. It wears like a down sweater. It's more insulated than I expected. I had bought it for winter runs and it's fine if it's btw 0-20, but if it's warmer, then it's too hot. I use it for very cold runs and as a layer under a hard shell for skiing. It's very wind resistant and it packs down well, so was thinking it would be great for summer hikes above tree line. The zipper sticks a little bit at the bottom and is left handed, a bit awkward. A good buy at sale price, but probably not at full price.

Great purchase

This does run small. I usually wear an 8 or 10, but the 12 fits better in this jacket. It's lightweight, but keeps me warm.
