Another good piece of MONTANE kit

This week has been a relatively quiet week so been catching up on jobs around the office and such like.  This morning I nipped out for a run and thought it about time I gave my new MONTANE Atomic DT jacket a test.  The heavy showers that have been through west Cumbria this morning made it a good time to take out.  I mentioned on the blog around last December about the montane featherlite smock, a brilliant piece of kit,  well I was after something a bit more sturdier for when it's chucking it down on the moors and  am out running or on the mountain bike.  I like montane stuff and with it's lightweight design, and no frills approach it's always good quality bombproof stuff that can take on the elements.  The Atomic DT looks like it will not let them down in this department.  This is labelled as a multi activity jacket, it fits well, has a good hood (big enough for a climbing helmet) made of ENTRANT fabric, and is lightweight.  The conditions this morning weren't tough enough and I was a bit warm but that would be the same for any jacket of this nature.  I feel, for me, it will fit the bill perfectly for what I am after.
Another good piece of kit from MONTANE

Update on the adidas XT, really enjoying them, good grip and fit well on the foot.  Needless to say you have to give them a good clean if you want them as bright as when they first come out the box.
