Waterproof Running Jackets

Summary

Lightweight & highly breathable waterproof jacket, great for any outdoor running when you need to be protected from the elements. Suitable for road running, also trail, fell and mountain running.

In Testing

• The jacket has an incredibly light feel to wear
• Fit was good with the part-elasticated, shaped cuffs, snug but not tight
• Hood doesn’t flap around when not in use, and is incredibly cosy when in use. With 3 points of adjustment, pulled close with the hood drawstrings
• Adjustable hem with cinchable drawcord
• I have to say it totally kept me dry on some very wet running days recently. The breathability was impressive compared to other fully water proof jackets I have worn too. No feeling of clamminess at all

Verdict

Montane have long had a reputation for producing quality lightweight products.
The Minimus Lite Jacket certainly lives up to that reputation. Simply put: one of the best lightweight waterproof jackets on the market for sure. It comes highly recommended for anyone just wanting to keep dry on a short early morning run, or a long ultra-distance trail race, or mountain marathon in the most inclement conditions.
