The Montane Minimus Jacket is an ultra lightweight, ultra breathable, waterproof jacket for when every gram counts but you still want high performance.

A brand new ultra lightweight jacket from Montane, the Minimus has all the 'must have' features and nothing extraneous. I fell in love with the Minimus instantly for being micro light and giving incredible performance. With a well formed wired peaked hood with full adjustability, the sleeves have ample length and extension, with a shaped cuff, scooped on the inside edge to avoid rucking when pulled tight, including die cut velcro tabs. A laminated front zip with a storm flap backing, bound so the zip does not snag. The Minimus has a large zipped chest pocket, but no side pockets, who needs them on something so light and they only compromise the breathability. A hem shock cord is adjusted at the sides. The cut is just so spot on and the fabric is micro thin like nothing seen before yet it is tuff as you would expect from Pertex, the new Shield fabric they use is very waterproof and ultra beathable.
