Choosing the right jacket in the MONTEC lineup can be tough. They’re all 20,000mm/20,000g, fully featured, and ready to ride. So what are the differences? Let’s check them out…

Every jacket in the MONTEC range is built from the same DNA. We’re talking SHIELD-TEC performance with 20k/20k waterproofing and breathability, a reliable DWR treatment, and a super-tough woven polyester shell. Plus, all the features needed for a long day on the mountain. For the tech behind those ratings, see MONTEC waterproofing and breathability.
But there are some key differences. So let’s check out each jacket one by one to see what makes them special. Oh, and so you can confidently add your favorite style to your cart, of course.

We have two main types of jackets in the MONTEC lineup: pullovers and full-zips. Pullovers are pulled over the head like a hoodie. And they usually include side zips and zippered collars to make getting in and out easier. Full-zip (or zip-through) designs use one full-length front zipper, just like a classic ski jacket.
Choosing a pullover or full-zip design doesn’t affect performance, waterproofing, or warmth. It simply comes down to preference. Some riders prefer zip-throughs because they’re easier to put on and take off. Others like pullovers for their simplicity and central kangaroo-style front pocket. For warmth differences, see our MONTEC shell vs insulated jacket guide.
Now we know the difference between our two primary designs, let’s drop in to more info about each style.
The Arch jacket delivers MONTEC’s all-mountain performance in an oversized, backcountry-focused option. With a full front zip, a roomy cut, and ample, secure storage, Arch is perfect for riders who want extra space to layer, move, and ride hard in all conditions.
Doom is one of MONTEC’s most distinctive jackets, blending the ease of a zip-through with the style and storage of an anorak. Doom’s asymmetrical front zipper gives it a standout look, while the front pocket system and internal dump storage make it practical, versatile, and ready for any riding style, be it park, pow, or anything in between.
Designed alongside Doom, Dune is MONTEC’s classic pullover jacket, made for riders who love that clean anorak style without sacrificing performance. With a side-zipper opening, an asymmetrical collar zip, and a large front storage pouch, Dune is simple, functional, and built to take hits all season long.
Fawk is the longest-standing design in the MONTEC range. It’s been around for over a decade and has constantly evolved with updated technology, materials, and features. The result is a true do-everything jacket that’s ready for the resort, backcountry, and everything in between. And with optional 60/40gsm insulation and waterproof external storage, it’s the perfect jacket for every inch of every mountain.
Morpheus is for riders who prioritize durability, mobility, and standout style in one package. With a tough 2-way stretch shell, retro-inspired paneled colorways, and four external pockets, Morpheus is ready for park laps, powder missions, and long all-mountain days.
Moss is a women’s-only jacket with a cleaner, more tailored shape for riders who prefer a slimmer fit. With exposed waterproof zips, easy-access storage, and a slightly shorter cut, Moss delivers the same all-mountain MONTEC performance in a sleeker silhouette. And it’s perfect for riding the whole mountain.
Oracle is a clean, high-performance, all-mountain jacket for riders who like things simple, technical, and tough. Oracle features an exposed waterproof front zip, oversized fit, and large external storage pocket with a media pouch. This jacket is fully prepped for resort cruising, off-piste exploring, and all-mountain freestyle.
The Sentinel is the brand new 2-way stretch all-mountain quiver-killer. Packed with 60/40gsm insulation, four waterproof external storage pockets, an adjustable stormguard hood, underarm vents, and all the other features you need for a long day on the hill, this minimalist-aesthetic jacket is perfect for park laps, straightlining groomers, or dropping pillows in the slackcountry.
Virago gives riders extra coverage, extra storage, and a more adventure-ready feel. With a longer cut, multiple external pockets, and MONTEC’s signature technical specs, Virago is a utility-focused all-mountain jacket for riders who like their gear practical and protective. Take it with you for big days and changing conditions.
Ultimately, every jacket in the MONTEC lineup is built with the same technical foundation, so there’s no bad choice! You’re getting 20k/20k waterproofing and breathability, tough shells, a DWR finish, and all the features you could ever need. The real difference comes down to fit, style, and how you like to ride, so use the MONTEC jacket fit guide if you want a deeper fit breakdown.
