Online Unisex Minimus Nano Pull-On Waterproof Smocks

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A super lightweight waterproof shell for runners seeking low-weight, high-performance wet weather gear.

Montane says: 

The Minimus Nano Pull-On is a supremely lightweight layer designed for fast and light runners for whom kit weight and packability is paramount. Made with one of the lightest waterproof and breathable fabrics available, the Minimus Nano Pull-On weighs just 100g (size medium), and packs down into its own stuff sac to neatly stow in your training and racing packs year-round.

Our Verdict

This incredibly low-weight, low-bulk, minimalist rain shell is designed with mountain runners in mind. It’s a super slimmed-down shell that keeps its feature set minimum. Pre-elasticated cuffs and pre-elasticated adjustments around the hood keep the jacket in place without needing additional fastenings, adjustments and Velcro. The hood offers protection, but I would definitely pair it with a cap, as the stiffened peak is small and doesn’t keep the rain out of my eyes. The ½ length, two-way zip is a nice touch; it lets you tailor just how much ventilation and coverage you get at any time.

It’s a rapid deploy, emergency shell for runners looking to shed every gram they can, not something I would use as an everyday waterproof.
