Montane® Cetus Lite Waterproof jacket

The Montane Cetus Lite Waterproof is a jacket that can handle anything the mountains throw at it. It combines 100% waterproofing with extreme breathability, so even during a steep climb, your body stays dry and comfortable. Lightweight, packable, yet durable – this is exactly how gear should be designed to ensure it doesn't slow you down.

Technology that works with you

Petrichor 3L is a three-layer system that combines recycled nylon with a non-porous hydrophilic membrane. It actively wicks moisture away, and the more you move, the better it works. With a water resistance of 20,000mm and breathability with a RET value below 5, the Cetus Lite is reliable even for long days in the rain.

Construction that saves every gram

Offset seams and laminated details reduce the number of connections and weight while increasing durability and resistance to wear. The result? A strong, lightweight jacket that packs easily into a backpack and withstands challenging mountain conditions.

Thoughtful details for movement

A fully adjustable hood with a reinforced brim holds its shape and doesn't obstruct your view. Ergonomically cut sleeves follow your movement, the lower hem can be easily adjusted, and YKK Aquaguard zippers protect against rain even in strong winds. Every element here has its purpose – you won't find any unnecessary components.
