Discount Cetus Petrichor Jacket – Past Season Colours Waterproof Jackets

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A breathable, lightweight waterproof built for the mountains—ideal for fast-paced days in unpredictable weather.

Montane says: 

Built using our new PETRICHOR TECHNOLOGY™, the Cetus jacket has a recycled nylon 30D ripstop outer that will give you excellent weather protection (20,000mm hydrostatic head).

Designed to breathe as you move, the hydrophilic membrane within the Cetus jacket transports water vapour and moisture away from the body during long hikes or mountain expeditions.

The harder you work, the harder this durable waterproof jacket works to ensure comfortable, efficient movement in the mountains.

Our Verdict

Montane’s Cetus Petrichor Jacket is a lightweight, high-performance waterproof designed for fast-moving days in the mountains. Weighing around 398 grams, it balances weather protection with excellent breathability, making it a solid choice for hillwalkers and those tackling changeable conditions.

The jacket is built with Montane’s PETRICHOR 3-layer technology and boasts a 20,000mm hydrostatic head for waterproofing while maintaining an impressive breathability rating (<5 RET). The recycled nylon ripstop fabric is soft and flexible, avoiding the stiff, crinkly feel of some hardshells, while offset seams and a tailored fit allow for unrestricted movement.

The fully adjustable hood offers excellent coverage with a laminated peak for extra structure, ensuring clear visibility. YKK AquaGuard zips, hand pockets, and internal chest pocket provide reliable water resistance, while the laminated hem and cuffs add durability without unnecessary bulk.

Some may miss pit zips for added ventilation, but the fabric’s breathability handles moisture well, even during high-output activities. The jacket also packs down small, making it easy to stow in a rucksack when not in use.

Lightweight, breathable, and built to handle the elements, the Cetus Petrichor is a dependable waterproof for mountain adventures.
