I own both pants and bibs. The new bibs have a double zipper so no longer do you need to fish under your jacket for the zipper. I run the doom jacket in addition and have zero issues. Skiing in Montana it’s seen rime ice, pow, wet snow. Never had an issue with being warm and dry. Great affordable gear in my view.

TL;DR - I don’t think Montec is necessarily a high end brand but they provide above average products for a below average price. I do recommend them for any average resort skier like myself. I think it’s hard to beat the value you get for the price of the gear. If you’re a hardcore backcountry skier or a professional athlete, I don’t think this is necessarily the gear for you.

Montec gear is the best valued, best fitting and stylish ski gear available in my personal opinion and then there is the value, where nothing compares. I'm a gear snob, I have so many different coats and get multiple new coats every season. If I compare my $250 Montec jacket to my $800 North Face Brigandine jacket, I'd pick the Montec jacket all day long, facts. Montec is doing an incredible job. We all need to support companies like Montec as much as we can, fantastic gear at incredible value, we need more companies like this.

I loved your emphasis on the price-per-performance factor. As a complete noob looking to get into ski sports, I think this set would be an excellent starting point for me. Definitely gonna check out the Doom style. I also noticed there are two variants in each style: Ski vs Snowboard. Any idea what the difference is? The photos look exactly the same.

@jordanmorrow4757 10 ай бұрын

Within the brand it should be the same but Montec has like a sister brand called Dope and I could be completely off but I think Montec is more ski styled and Dope is more snowboard style, and I’m only drawing this conclusion because of the categories and the bibs at Dope don’t have the scuff thing for skis

I have the 2022 Fawk jacket. I love the fit and the pockets/features. When zipped up, the neck is roomy enough to pull up and is large to comfortably cover my face. My only complaint is that this the jacket is a bit heavy and the material feels a bit rubbery. Great gear though. It works for me as I don’t need to spend $700 on a jacket.

@@renko1347 Yes, Large, perfect fit, (for me), plenty of room to move, or layer if necessary but not so much room to be baggy - I really like it - glad I found the review and I really appreciate his quick reply to my initial question - best !

If you don’t mind me asking, what size did you order and how tall are you? Also, did you get the insulated or shell version? Thanks!!

I’m very curious to know the same thing! I’m debating on getting the jacket but not sure which size since Uber heard they run big. I’m 6’ and about 180 lbs. can’t decide between Med/Large jacket….? Any suggestions??

Hey guys. I am 5’9” and weigh about 180lbs. I got a large in both the pants and jacket. Hope this helps! And I got the insulated version for both.

As someone who has purchased high-priced ski jackets and can make comparisons, I've noticed that, in terms of breathability and waterproofing, I haven't seen any noticeable difference with, for example, the Arc'teryx Rush jacket. Both excel in these categories. However, I find Montec jackets to be much more practical. They come with numerous pockets to store whatever you need and even better vent zippers. Considering that the prices of top brands are almost three times higher, I honestly don't see any reason for someone to opt for these brands. In my humble opinion, the only reason I can think of is if someone doesn't like the design of the company.

bibs are awesome and I like them more for skiing purposes, but I had to pic up a pair of just normal pants for the bathroom reason. It was so annoying undressing every time!

I'm wondering why you went with Dune and Doom models Montec jackets (which are similar quite similar) and not choose the Fawk model. Are there distinct advantages of the Dune/Doom style models over the Fawk style that persuaded you to choose them?
