I hiked in Montane’s Cetus Lite Waterproof Jacket, and it's more practical than it looks

Montane Cetus Lite jacket.

Montane’s Cetus Lite Jacket is the first garment the brand has created with its all-new Petrichor technology, which is designed to deliver high levels of waterproofing and breathability without weighing you down, as well as being crated from sustainable materials – a welcome step forward in the world of outdoor apparel.

I was excited to try out the Cetus Lite for myself, and it’s accompanied me on many local trails and for a long hike in the Welsh Black Mountains. I’ve been highly impressed by its performance, despite its lightweight construction. It’s proven to be a great waterproof jacket, offering very good breathability, waterproof protection, and denying access to the wind. It’s definitely the waterproof jacket I now regularly reach for when venturing outdoors. Does its new tech make it one of the best waterproof jackets out there? Let’s see, shall we.
