Ultralight yet warm mid-layer ideal for warmer spring to autumn seasons. The Montane Women's Protium Lite Hoodie meets all that we could wish for in a mid-layer for expeditions where grams matter – an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, packability, antibacterial treatment, and an inner fleece fabric with a grid structure.

New addition to the Montane spring/summer 2023 collection. The Women's Protium Lite Hoodie is a lightweight mid-layer for women, which is a lighter version of the popular Protium Hoodie. The sweatshirt has exactly the ideal material weight for the warmer spring to autumn season. In cooler weather, you can use it as a thermal shirt or for layering.
What further excites us about this hoodie is its thoughtful fit. It moves with you and doesn't restrict you at all. The hood fits perfectly, and thanks to the higher collar, it prevents the wind from blowing on your neck. A higher proportion of elastane ensures that the hoodie is pleasantly stretchy.
The main reason why this hoodie caught our attention is the Thermo Grid Lite material, which features brushed fibers with a grid structure on the inside. We have become incredibly fond of this material construction and consider it almost as a necessity for every hoodie for outdoor activities.
The hoodie has a fitted cut for active movement in the mountains, so if you have a more athletic muscular build, it might be better to choose a larger size.
This hoodie is also available in a version without a hood – Women’s Protium Lite Pull-On, which is even a few grams lighter. If you are looking for a similar but much warmer hoodie for winter, try Women's Protium XT Hoodie.

Flat locked seams for maximum comfort during wear
Low-profile edges for easy layering
YKK durable front zipper in 1/3 length
Tapered hood design that can be worn under a helmet
Hanging loop on the back side
Material: Thermo Grid Lite (92% polyester, 8% elastane) with Polygiene® antibacterial treatment
Patented knitted construction with a mesh structure that increases warmth and breathability while reducing the weight and volume of the fabric. The mesh structure creates targeted touch points for better moisture management. The surface close to the skin absorbs sweat vapor and channels it to the outer surface, where the moisture is dispersed for more effective evaporation. The mesh structure also creates open air channels for the discharge of excess body heat.
The material of the hoodie and several other Montane products is treated with the antibacterial Polygiene treatment, which neutralizes odor caused by bacteria. You don’t need to wash it right after a single sweat session, and it will keep you going for several days in a row. Polygiene technology uses low concentrations of silver salt (silver chloride), which has antimicrobial properties. Polygiene is also approved by bluesign®, meaning it is manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers, and those wearing the treated clothes.

Front YKK zipper at 1/3 length with internal protective flap.

Tapered hood design that fits well even under a climbing helmet.
