Product Aftercare
Whether scuffed and stained or beginning to wet out and not keep you protected from passing downpours, there are several issues you may encounter after putting your kit through its paces in the mountains. With this in mind, we are eager to encourage and support you to take better care of your Montane products. By doing so we can ensure their optimum performance, and keep your most trusted and treasured Montane gear in action for years to come.
Firstly, all Montane garments, packs and accessories come with care labels attached internally, containing fabric composition and wash care instructions specific to the product.

FAQs
Should I wash my Montane gear regularly?
We don’t advocate washing your Montane clothing and equipment more than is needed, to help minimise excessive water and energy use. You should hopefully get many wears out of your clothing and equipment before its first wash. We encourage washing your garment if it is dirty, or you notice it is no longer performing how it did when you first purchased it.
Why aftercare is so important?
We are committed to considered long-term thinking, that’s why we are passionate about extending the lifetime of your product. Extending the use of your favourite gear effectively diminishes the impact associated with its production. Not only that, it reduces the need to replace your gear, in turn helping to reduce global waste.
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and to being transparent with consumers, to give you confidence about the origin of your Montane products.
We’re also committed to keeping you informed along the way. Learn more here about the organisations Montane is working with to protect our playground, and to help us to make considered, responsible choices.
