Looking for a lightweight packable waterproof. I think I've got it down to the two. Both have the same hydrostatic head and similar breathability. Both can be found for similar prices. I have found the Rab locally to try but not the Montane so it would be a blind purchase.
Does anyone have any experience of the two? It looks like its personal preference? Full length zip or smock.
Recommendations always helpful !
Thanks.

Re: Rab Demand or Montane Minimus??
No, but I'd buy the RAB. Mines had quite a bit of hammer and is still going strong. However, if you don't like smocks (I do, no zip to leak) then buy the MontaneDoes anyone have any experience of the two?
May the bridges you burn light your way

Re: Rab Demand or Montane Minimus??
I have just bought a minimus in 'that green' for 95 quid online, not been out to try it out yet a amazingly it didn't rain when I took the dog for a ride on Sunday!
Without the stuffsack it weighed in @ 205g in medium on the digital scales at home
Don't think I would like to crash in it so more likely to wear in on the Inbred rather than on my play about bike.
