The summary

What owners are telling us.

This is a compelling lightweight shell for running, racing, hiking and travel: it packs small, sheds serious rain and usually breathes well on the move. Fit is the main caution because the current cut can feel roomier, with long arms and a large hood. It also drops hand pockets, and the elastic cuffs divide opinion. Current construction feels substantial, but earlier jackets' service lives do not establish this version's longevity.

Buy if

  • You need a light, compact waterproof for running, racing, hiking or travel.
  • You want credible protection in heavy, prolonged rain without carrying a bulky shell.
  • A roomier cut, long sleeves or space for active movement suits you.

Skip if

  • You require hand-warmer pockets or substantial everyday storage.
  • You want the close athletic fit associated with some earlier Minimus Lite jackets.
  • You dislike elastic cuffs or need a small hood that requires little adjustment.
