Montane Minimus Jacket

[Anthony]

Has anyone any experience of it?

215g, size of apple, 20000mm HH, 25000 MVTR and sub £100 online; it's on the wishlist.

I cant help but wish it didnt have the pocket thus it was lighter/smaller!

My Rab On Demand eVent smock weighs about the same, obviously doesn't have a full length zip but it's a fantastic bit of kit ... can't understand why they stopped making them really.

Does anyone make a sub 200g waterproof?

1/2 zip, no hood, no pocket, wouldnt be that hard?

Haglofs Ozo, 180g in Large

Nice one DNF cheers.

Marmot Mica as well - quoted at 198g

That Haglofs one looks good for biking - drop tail, and arms cut on the long side to allow coverage with a thumb grip. If you were to modify it to remove the hood, sub 150g?

Basically like this, http://www.haglofs.com/en-us/products/c ... en-us.aspx, but made of goretex...

Another 1 to add to the list.

TNF Triumph, 165g and currently £100.

Just got a Minimus over the weekend. Weight seems pretty close, scales read 234g including 15g of stuff sack. Fabric feels sturdier than I was expecting, not bin bag-esque like pertex windproofs but more like a proper waterproof. Cut is definitely 'athletic' - ie slim -but fine for me (5' 10", 38" chest)

The pocket is mesh inside, so can't add an awful lot to the weight. It's easily big enough for an OS map, isn't waterproof zipped though so could be a leakage point. Velcro closures at the wrists are good, hood is nicely adjustable and also stiffened at the peak.

Not used it in anger yet, but needed something lighter than my old paclite for Ultra racing. It's coming to the Pyrenees with me next week si I'm let you know how it gets on.

Cheers Pyro, that's interesting to know. Fit sounds good, I'm 6', 38" chest, did you go for a med?

[Pyro]

Yeah, got the medium and I'd say it was a good 'racing' fit - room for a couple of layers underneath but not so much it's bagging around in the breeze. A little long in the arms on me, but the velcroed cuffs are great. A mate tried it on who's taller - 6'2"ish - but similar chest/shoulder size and it's a good fit on him too. There's a wee bit of drop to the tail, elastics with locks at both sides and seems like it'll be just right.
