Description

The Lite-Speed Jacket is a wind shirt made by Montane. It has an average rating of 4 stars (out of 5), based on 3 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Montane Men's Lite-Speed Jacket's exceptionally lightweight design keeps you dry without weighing you down. This windproof, water-resistant jacket weighs in at 6oz and stows away in an included stuff sac when the skies clear. Its breathable Pertex fabric keeps clamminess at bay while mini-ripstop fabric protects the Lite-Speed from snagging bushes and tree branches. Its active cut eliminates bulkiness and a drop tail provides extra coverage. Montane created the Lite-Speed with reflective elements so you stay visible in low-light conditions."

"A nice windproof but the hood has no draw-cord at the back for volume and flaps about and probably does not need to be lined.

Chest pocket is nice and the length is ok.
Mine has started to come apart at the seams."

"Super light and good for basic rain protection. Compresses super small also. Would not want to wear it during a chilly thunderstorm of a few hours duration, but for warm weather backpacking or ultralight backpacking it is hard to beat. Also quite durable for the weight of the material."

Reviewed by Carlo, Dec 15, 2004

"It weighs nothing. It's not breathable, but it's quite waterproof. Ideal for hiking and trekking during summer, when a sunny day can fastly change into a rainy one, and you can need a hyperlight softshell to preserve your vest from getting wet.

pro: no-weight, extremely comfortable, waterproof, unexpectedly strong."
