My first impressions: the jacket is extremely lightweight, and although the material is thin, it doesn’t feel as delicate as I expected, which I see as an advantage. It’s easy to compress it into a small pouch, but it arrives carefully folded on a piece of cardboard and wrapped in plastic. The Tiger Stripe camouflage looks really good in real life and matches many outfits. The jacket is fairly long and the sleeves are the right length.

Flecktarn camouflage
Flecktarn is a classic German military camouflage pattern, officially introduced for use by the Bundeswehr in 1990. The pattern is based on small, irregular spots in five colors – typically dark green, olive, brown, black and beige. With the distribution of numerous dots and blurred boundaries between the colors, Flecktarn effectively distracts from the wearer's silhouette in forest terrain, as well as in scrubland or against the background of forest undergrowth. The camouflage was designed for European climatic conditions, especially for the temperate zone. To this day, Flecktarn remains a standard pattern used by the German army, other military and police officers. Its effectiveness has led to numerous variants and adaptations in other countries.

The Tramontante jacket is very lightweight, easy to pack into a pocket, and fits perfectly. It's carefully made, protects against light rain, and provides warmth during cool evenings. You can take it anywhere; you barely feel its weight. At my height of 183 cm and weight of 78 kg, size M fits perfectly, even with an extra layer underneath. The Taiga Green colour looks fantastic in real life. Size L would be too loose for me. I definitely recommend it.

I am very happy with the quality and the fact it can be packed to a very small size. I now own multiple versions of this with PL Woodland being my latest camo which is a good camo for English woodlands. My only complaint is why there is a bright white logo on the jacket which seems like a massive oversight on what is otherwise an excellent jacket.

A practical jacket, it easily fits in a pocket. It proved handy during windy weather when worn over a light fleece. Size XL is perfect for a tall and well-built person (I'm 184 cm tall and weigh over 95 kg). It is not suitable for heavy rain; I would recommend it more for sports activities. I recommend the purchase.
-
In my opinion, the product is great. It meets all expectations. When folded, it takes up very little space and fits easily into a bag or backpack. The waterproofing is of a high standard, and it also effectively protects against the wind. It's perfect for spring trips, but not only those. I have been using it for a long time and it still works flawlessly. Despite the high price, it's worth buying.
-
A huge advantage is its compact size and the folding method that resembles a pack of cigarettes. It's perfect for storing in a backpack or a larger pocket just in case.

The Tramontante jacket is very light, easy to fold and can be put in your pocket. It fits great, is well made, protects against light rain, and keeps you warm on cooler days. You can easily take it anywhere as it weighs almost nothing. I am 183 cm tall and weigh 78 kg, size M is perfect, even over clothes under the jacket. Size L would be too loose. I highly recommend it.

I am very happy with the quality and the fact it can be packed to a very small size. I got the Pencott WildWood which is a perfect camo for English woodlands my only complaint is why there is a bright white logo on the jacket which seems like a massive oversight on what is otherwise an excellent jacket.

The jacket is of excellent quality. It fulfils its purpose perfectly. When folded, it takes up as much space as a pack of tissues. It effectively protects against wind and rain. I definitely recommend it.
-
The rain jacket is made of sturdy material and protects very well against the wind. Its small size allows you to put it in your pocket and take it anywhere the weather might suddenly change. You can wear an extra layer underneath, such as a fleece, and the jacket still fits well.
-
Great windbreaker, but not for heavy duty use. The material is quite thin so I wouldn’t rely on it for rough terrain. Perfect packable layer that does exactly what it’s designed for.
-
The jacket is of very good quality, takes up very little space, is light and copes well with its tasks. From the negatives – the package, it arrived without a pouch.
-
The Helikon-Tex Tramontane WindPack in Taiga Green is lightweight, wind resistant and well made. It packs down very compactly, is comfortable to wear and reliably serves its purpose as a straightforward windbreaker.
-
Very lightweight, compact jacket with good wind protection. Ideal for changeable weather and as a quick overlayer on the go. The workmanship feels robust – clear recommendation. Wildwood is a top camo!
