The Montane Minimus Jacket is a waterproof, ultra-lightweight jacket for trail runners. However, its lack of handwarmer pockets is a major flaw in a jacket used as an outer shell. It is also very limited in the number of pockets it can accommodate, only one of which doubles as a hand pocket. Additional features like pit zips would improve ventilation and help prevent the jacket from feeling too hot.
Montane Minimus Jacket is marketed primarily to trail runners.
The Montane Minimus Jacket is a waterproof, packable jacket marketed primarily to trail runners. This jacket features a 3-layer construction that offers excellent breathability and waterproof performance. It also boasts articulated arms for maximum movement and a tailored fit to prevent hem lift. In addition, the Minimus is made from durable, lightweight materials that pack small.
While the Minimus is marketed primarily to trail runners, it can also be worn by walkers and hikers. The lightweight fabric of the jacket is very breathable, and it can double as a wind shirt and rain jacket. It weighs only 9.2 oz in men’s XL. It is also ideal for hill walking or hiking, with the technical features of a full-featured rain jacket.
The Minimus is available in a variety of styles. While most jackets are marketed to trail runners, some options are for runners looking for a less expensive jacket. These include a lightweight half-zip smock, a 2.5-layer shell, and a lightweight, superlight pull-on version.

It’s made from lightweight, durable, and breathable Pertex Shield 2.5-layer fabric with a PU membrane and DWR coating.

Another essential feature of the Montane Minimus Stretch is that it’s lightweight and stretchable, so you won’t feel restricted while moving. The hood opens wide to fit a helmet and cinches tightly to protect your face from the elements. Two hand pockets and an external chest pocket are also included.

It has no handwarmer pockets.

Its athletic fit allows you to choose a size that fits you comfortably.
The Minimus Stretch Jacket is a great lightweight jacket for day hikes in miserable weather. Its waterproof, 20 Denier PERTEX(r) Shield, 2.5 layer fabric, gives it good protection from wind and rain. The Minimus Jacket also has a high stitch count, with 12 to 13 stitches per inch (compared to industry standards of eight). This helps keep you cool while still protecting you from the cold and rain.
The jacket is machine-washable but should be reapplied with DWR (Durable Water Repellant) after washing. This prevents it from losing its water-repellent qualities. The jacket is lightweight and dries quickly.
