Lightweight shell mitts for wet, high-output days
Montane says:
Uncompromising weather protection, the Cetus Mitt utilises PETRICHOR TECHNOLOGY for market leading breathable waterproof performance. Combined with AX Grip across palm and fingers and the extended adjustable cuff, this lightweight mitt ensures adaptable, complete protection in changeable wet conditions.
Our Verdict
The Cetus Petrichor Mitts fit neatly into a glove layering system, working as a capable outer shell over liner and insulation layers. The cut is intentionally generous, allowing gloves to be worn underneath without restricting movement. This makes them a practical option for hikers and trail runners who want fast, adaptable hand protection in wet conditions.
PETRICHOR technology sits at the core of the design, delivering reliable waterproofing and managing moisture effectively during sustained, higher-output movement. Dexterity is good for a shell mitt, helped by the articulated shape and grippy palm panels. The extended cuff and wrist adjustment seal cleanly over sleeves, keeping water out in prolonged rain. At 75 g (Medium), these are a focused waterproof layer rather than a standalone cold-weather solution.
