With fingers crossed for more wet weather in Canberra, we introduce the New Mont Ultralight Highplains Jacket. An ultralight long length shell jacket made with new ultralight 3-layer fabric technology; more waterproof, more durable and more breathable than previously used ultralight waterproof fabrics.
The Highplains Jacket is available in Men's and Women's and two colours in each. Weighing in at only 340g (Men's Medium) and 310g (Women's 12) the Highplains jackets are ideal for travel and ultralight bushwalking.
By combining an ultralight 3-layer waterproof fabric with Mont's beloved thigh-length fit, the Highplains Jacket provides comprehensive protection at a fraction of the weight of a traditional 3/4 jacket.
Hydronaute Ultra provides and maintains consistent breathable, waterproof, windproof protection across a wide range of conditions.
Hydronaute Ultra uses an innovative ultralight microporous laminated PU (Polyurethane) membrane. Breathable through interconnected micropores far smaller in size and greater in number than the micropores in traditional microporous PU coatings, Hydronaute Ultra moves both moisture vapour and condensed moisture efficiently in both high and low level humidity; unlike traditional porous PU membranes that typically struggle expelling condensed moisture.
Hydronaute Ultra is more breathable across a wider range of conditions while maintaining a totally waterproof, windproof exterior.

In a world that moves fast, finding time for adventure can feel impossible. But what if the solution isn’t in grand expeditions, but in small, intentional escapes? Micro-adventures—overnight or short trips into nature—are the perfect way to reset your mind, recharge your body, and reconnect with the wild, all without taking time off work.

The rugged beauty of the Tyndall Range, with its towering conglomerate peaks and dramatic cliffs, offers some of the most thrilling and scenic climbing in Australia.
It just might be the most beautiful climbing venue in Australia.

Amongst other non-competitive, condition maintaining runs around the mountains and canyons of Arizona, Utah, Mexico, and Texas, I managed to tick off 271km of rugged competitive trail running events.

I have the same questions as John – the breathability and waterproof specs of the fabric. Also, the blurb says it is not suitable for a heavy backpack. What is a heavy backpack. I normally carry between 11 – 15kgs. Is that heavy?
Thanks
