What is the Minimus Lite Jacket?
It's an updated version of Montane's Minimus Lite Jacket, a lightweight, waterproof shell jacket designed for various fast-paced missions, whether trail running, fast packing, or ultra running in wet weather.
Now featuring an updated, thicker fabric and run-centric construction, it's soft and comfortable to wear while also being highly protective and breathable, allowing you to push the pace, whatever the weather.
What is it made from?
The Minimus Lite is built from a 2.5-layer Pertex® Shield, which is a highly breathable, waterproof fabric designed for fast-paced mountain adventures where reliable protection, weight and breathability are key. This 2.5-layer construction combines a robust 40D nylon face fabric and a waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane with a grey protective backer. The face fabric is finished with a PFC-Free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to encourage rain to bead off the trousers instead of soaking in, without the use of harmful forever chemicals.
Pertex® Shield delivers a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm and a breathability MVTR score of 20,000 g/m2/24hrs, meaning it offers great waterproof protection and breathability, making it suitable for various outdoor activities.
What are its features?
Starting from the top, a low-profile adjustable hood with a laminated stiffened peak provides essential shelter from the elements. The hood features Montane's Pivot 1 hood system, which incorporates an integrated aperture and crown adjustment, utilising a single rear speed pull system for quick and easy adjustment while minimising weight and bulk.
Montane has thoughtfully designed the jacket with minimal seams to increase breathability levels while improving the jacket's overall durability and comfort levels. Vital seams are offset seams throughout the jacket to further enhance durability across the seams and extend the jacket's longevity.
The jacket is fastened with a waterproof YKK Aquaguard® Natulon recycled zip with an inner Storm Guard placket to provide an additional barrier against the elements and prevent water ingress through the zip.
For storage, there is a single chest pocket that also uses a recycled waterproof zip to prevent literal puddles in your pockets when the heavens open. This single pocket offers storage for a mobile phone, snacks or energy gels to keep you fueled throughout your adventure.
The jacket is finished with an adjustable bottom hem and cuffs to fully seal out the elements in adverse weather, and features 360-degree reflective branding to increase your visibility to other road users in low-light conditions.
The Minimus Lite features Montane's trim fit, which sits closer to the body for minimum bulk when moving fast. It provides just enough room to pop on light layers underneath for colder days, while added articulation through the sleeves prioritises freedom of movement, to elevate your adventure instead of holding you back.
