A super lightweight waterproof shell for runners seeking low-weight, high-performance wet weather gear.
Montane says:
The Minimus Nano Pants are 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 Pants weigh just 100g (size medium), and pack down into their 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. A simple pre-elasticated waistband does the job well enough of keeping the trousers in place, but you don’t get any adjustment, but I did find them comfortable, and they stayed up. The ¼ length ankle zips mean donning and doffing the trousers is easy, no matter if you're using trail runners or traditional boots.
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.
