Truly EXCELLENT review. You hit every single question I had with zero extraneous blabber. Thank you! Watching review videos can be an absolute chore.

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.
My only scare is seeing them go up in price eventually 😂 I love the jacket I have from them and just ordered a bunch of other gear, I’m glad to hear they’re quality over time.
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.
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.
Dude I been low key following your vids since season 2. Went through everything including the van conversation. Really good effort and somehow your vids have this feeling that no other vlogs have. Love the heli skiing vid the best. Keep up my man, hope we can ski together one day. Haha
Long time listener, first time caller......appreciate your review! I am a fan of Flylow gear for the price performance, check it out next time you are refreshing your kit. Hope to see you at Palisades!
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.
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
Idk about Montec in particular but I just bought my first pair of bibs and absolutely love them. So much better than pants that end at the waist. You don’t notice them at all and the mobility at the waist is superior. Bonus points as well for mine having a zipper for my willy.
AND they kinda act like a pow skirt. You wont feel snow until if reaches your armpits, and if snow reaches your armpits, I'm pretty sure you have bigger things to worry about.
Finally someone that actually test the gear out in real life makes more sense!! it’s not a fashion show. We actually need gear that’s going to perform but I mean it helps if it’s pretty too! 😂
I've been riding the montec gear for 2 seasons now. 2021 Doom jacket with one of their bibs (not the one that matches the jacket because I don't like the full matching suit look personally) but they have been great in all types of mountain conditions and kept me dry every time.
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.
@lucas Catania How do you feel the jacket hood fits with a helmet on? I just got mine in medium and it fits my body great, it when I put my helmet on it feels like it may be a bit restrictive in my head area
Is the Dune worth it as a normal winter coat, or would you only recommend it as a snowboarding outershell? If used as a normal winter coat, is it too bulky?
Got the bibs, and while they are pretty wide at the waist, even when using the buttons on the side, I can't really get them as high up in the chest as you have in this video. Not sure what's wrong, went for the XL, but they seem more wide than long. (I'm 6'8)
Glad to see their quality is pretty decent. However you can get a full 3 in 1 Smarty 686 bib/jacket for about the same price. Montec has some cool fleece options tho
@@LucasCatania17 They're insulated but I do run cold so I generally have to layer up pretty good anyway. They're probably perfect for most people for most days. It was just those super cold mornings where I was wanting more.
Im woundering how warm they are, I ski at a pretty cold resort (usally around -20C at the top), so Id wear a few other layers. Cool content, cant wait for some of the new videos this year.
Very good review! Thank you for sharing the ideas about the brand. I found out you have the similar height and weight with me that I am 5'9 182lbs. I know you have size Medium and just wondering if you have any suggestion about the sizing? I want to choose 1 size up to Large because I am going to wear hip protector and body armor inside my snow suits since I am a snowboarder and need room to move and so on. Thanks a lot!
nice I skied Australia to kicking horse and whistler when the snows dry its dry all shells are ok when its super wet and I have been in ski school all day in rain and everything gets wet I can't justify some labels upwards 1500 for a kit love to see the youtuber "Rise & Alpine" that skis whistler test this gear interesting
Does anyone know how they fit? Heavily considering buying a jacket rn but I like a larger looser fit but I don’t want to get something too big, I’m 5’9 190 with an athletic build. I’m thinking large but I’m not sure if XL would be better. Does anyone know what build and size Lucas wears?
Hey Lucas I was watching one of your older vids and saw you were from Syracuse, and I’m from around there. I have always wanted to move out west to pursue skiing, but don’t know we’re to start. And tips, especially jobs?
Hey man I’m probably not the best person to ask. My dad has had a place in Utah my entire life, so after finishing grad school, I got a job in park city in the film industry and I’ve been here full time since 2018
Hey, i wanted to ask if you dont feel to warm in those insulated ones? I tend to warm up fast and i think about shell or not. Wanted only to use merino long sleeve + light down jacket + montec (insu or shell). Need some advice :)
Just got a Patagonia pow slayer for this season and it was $700. Considering that’s just my jacket being able to get a full montec suit for under $500 is incredible
i was just wondering about the fit ? does it feel like a true fit or go up a size ? you are right though for the price and quality you can`t go wrong. i`m in Canada moving out west soon so my whole set up is changing lol thanks for the great info . cheers
I had the montech Doom jacket. I gave it to my friend and bought a Burton AK she’ll instead. I liked the montech but personally I prefer the AK shell I got
@@zenin_one it’s a nice jacket but it’s too tight fitting for the cold weather boarding in northern Alberta. Needed a bigger shell type jacket to lair up underneath.
@@jarettlouie6442 Because we should strive towards using our stuff for a long time. Not keep changing apparel all the time. It's bad for the environment.
id agree on your bathroom complaints to an extent, but the front zipper eliminates a lot of this issue and i don’t believe you ever mentioned it, the front zip has 2 zippers that go both directions so when your all zipped in, you can pull up from the bottom zipper while keeping your chest zipper sealed.
My bad if I missed it, but what size bib did you buy? I’m getting 2 suits this season but unsure what size to go after. Figured they were pretty true to size. I’m 5’9
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.
With the doom jacket, did you actually use the zipper to get the jacket off? Of would you end up pulling it out over your head just like the dune jacket.
@@LucasCatania17 ahh so the zipper isn’t really meant to be used to take of the jacket? Or is it just not convenient to use? Looking to buy a jacket but don’t really want one I have to pull over my head:)
What do you think of the rumours that they're being a bit shady with their review systems on their site as well as the aggressive instagram marketing etc? I have a friend that says that the quality and price per performance seems to be fine.
i could care less about any of that stuff. i used their gear just about every single day in any condition you can imagine and its been nothing but great. you cant beat it for the price.
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??
Thanks for the honest review, I bought an Arcteryx shell. Made the mistake of buying a large instead of medium. But can't afford to buy another as the cost is way too high. The Montec Dooom is roughly half the price. The only downside is the doom insulated and the shell are the same price. Honestly the shell should be priced a little cheaper. Thanks Again
I almost did the same thing, I ended up with the medium even tho the powder skirt is too tight on me, but the the larges sleeves were ridiculous. Try selling it and getting your right size
Hi, Trying to get a sense of sizing - you mentioned you purchased MEDIUM - how tall are you & how much do you weigh? I’m 5’11 & 175 & like a loose fit for layering. Your thoughts?
@@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 !
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 clean mine once a year in the gentle cycle. I also scrub the wrist and bottom of the pants. Then I spray with Nik Wax and throw them in the drier on low for five minutes. Then pack and ready for next year.
Any recommendations on the sizing of the gear? I'm 5'10 190lbs thought of getting a L jacket and bib, i'd be wearing burton impact shorts. Would L be good or should i be looking at an XL
The bibs for the ladies is the same set up 😂 you definitely need to undo your whole set up.
For any ladies looking into their bibs! I love them tho highly recommend!
haha i realize that was probably a dumb statement. thank you for the insight on the ladies side!
@@LucasCatania17 It was funny 😂😂
@@LucasCatania17 the fawk bib I purchased a month ago has a bottom and top zipper.

You’re right , I bought all my gear from Montec it’s been a year now and it’s amazing and I was able to snowboard in it better than my north face
My only scare is seeing them go up in price eventually 😂 I love the jacket I have from them and just ordered a bunch of other gear, I’m glad to hear they’re quality over time.
montec needs to get their waterproofing up to compete with arc’teryx

Large!!
I bought the Fawk bibs and Montec has added another zipper at the bottom to facilitate the issue you brought up. Overall I think the bibs are great!
i heard! musta got the version just before they introduced the new zipper.
Did you get the 2022 or 2023 version?
any idea if they added this to the 2021 version or just the latest one?

Their 20k membrane is actually pretty good for the price imo. Some other brands would run $350+ for that kind of waterproofing and breathability.
yes totally agree! pretty good deal for what youre getting!
This is true. I just bought a $400 Black Diamond recon ski jacket (20k mm) and it's dope af, but I'm tempted to return it for a Montec suit.

How is the sizing because it’s recommended me a small… Oakley im a M. No way that seems right unless they run large?

i recommend insulated! im 5 ft 10 inch / 180lb and i got large
@@LucasCatania17 okay just wanted to make sure you never felt it was too hot on sunny days
Hey Lucas what size jacket are you and how tall are you? Just wanna get a fitting idea
i am a large, 5'10"
@@LucasCatania17 sweet I’m about the same height and my large just came in!
few inches of string or paracord on the zip might save some struggle
Was your ski jacket insulated or non insulated version?
insulated!
Hi, Trying to get a sense of sizing - you mentioned you purchased MEDIUM - how tall are you & how much do you weigh? I’m 5’11 & 175 & like a loose fit for layering. Your thoughts?
i believe i said medium insulation but i could be wrong. i purchased large for both pants and jacket. i am 5'10 175 lbs.
@@LucasCatania17 Thank you for the prompt reply !! Perfect 👍🏻 I just placed my order. 😀
@@Pathological_Flyer you bought large? how did it fit?
@@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 !
Helly Hansen or Spyder gear!
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!
ahh yes man kind of frustrating there isn’t a better solution!
@@LucasCatania17agreed!! i would totally go back to a bib if there was
Fair ptice.Don't like that style, but they have a variety, tho choose from.
sure do!
How did you clean your suits and how often?
I didn’t clean my suits at all
I clean mine once a year in the gentle cycle. I also scrub the wrist and bottom of the pants. Then I spray with Nik Wax and throw them in the drier on low for five minutes. Then pack and ready for next year.
Although, I ski three days every week so my ski outfit is dirty by the end of the season.
You might want to include that this also reviews DOPE SNOW gear, as its the same gear under a different brand.
except the name is hella cringe
Any recommendations on the sizing of the gear? I'm 5'10 190lbs thought of getting a L jacket and bib, i'd be wearing burton impact shorts. Would L be good or should i be looking at an XL
ijm 5'10, 175lbs and i wear a large
however, you can get 2-3 beers in the kangaroo pocket which is a great bonus feature
ah yes didnt think about that!
How tall are you? I noticed you bought a large with the Jacket
about 5'9"!
I think the brand is great! They need to decrease the branding that’s plastered all over everything.
The last weeks months I’ve looked at their website all the sizes were sold out except for like XXS and XS and that’s quite annoying I think.
They don’t restock their sizes/models. They are focused on sustainability and don’t want wasted product.
@@LucasCatania17oh that’s good to know
so until next season there won’t be any other sizes available ?
Does anyone has a montec fawk jacket, insulated version?
Yes, but from 2020
@@Leo-pd8ww And did you ski during some cooler days? I'm asking because it is very thin.
@@JAKOBSStach that was my concern too, but so far works well
Anorak, the word for the style of both jackets is Anorak.
Sweet!
Ski suits went out we with the 1980's!
They are coming back! And I still have my bright pink one from the 80's! Love it! haha!
Yessss, thank you for this video. theres really no good in depth review of montecs on here.
