Fabric: According to Rab's designers the lightweight, packable Pertex Endurance outer 'has a light coating making it water proof to 1000mm, but still breathable. An extremely durable 80D fabric has been used in key areas across the shoulders, hips, and elbows, providing the most rugged protection where you need it most. There's a wired peak (de rigeur), a roll-away Velcro tab and full-face fleecy internal chin guard, much larger than those on the rival jackets.I didn't think I was unusually long in the body and short in the arms, but while I wish there were a little more length at the waist of the Flux, my hands almost completely disappear inside its sleeves – I've inches of material to spare here, enough to get in the way at times.

The only downside is that the Buffalo is a smock type, so has to be dragged over your head, but I’ve never had any issues taking it off when I’ve stopped at a pub during a winter walk. I was looking for something close to my softshell but waterproof and so glad I tried this jacket out. Where a product uses a DWR you can easily see whether this uses potentially harmful chemistry (PFCs).

Summary: Weight and warmth-wise, the Montane Flux is a good halfway house; with its double front insulation it's slightly warmer than the Generator Alpine, but there's less extra filling than in the Fitzroy. LD Mountain Centre does not accept responsibility for items being delayed through customs/ security checks or adverse weather conditions. This durable layer provides supreme waterproofing, which will make sure that you will always stay dry in light or heavy rain. Filling: The Flux is the only jacket of the three to use Primaloft Eco (min 50% recycled content); I can't say I notice a difference in use. The fully adjustable hood is paired with a stiffened peak for unrestricted vision, and can be rolled away when not in use.
