The Montane Featherlite Nano Jacket is incredibly lightweight (53 grams) and packable, providing windproof protection. Despite its thinness, it offers decent weather resistance.

Montane says: 

Pushing what’s possible with packable wind protection and setting a new standard. We’ve taken our windproof featherlite jacket and made it 48% lighter.

The 100% recycled Ultralight Pertex Quantum outer is loaded with a PFC-free DWR coating and ripstop design making it mountain-durable for fast and light adventures, while weighing just 53g.

The Montane Featherlite Nano Windproof Jacket does away with the added bulk of a separate stuff sack by packing down into its own collar, creating a pocket-sized package that can be carried anywhere without a second thought.

Our Verdict

The Montane Featherlite Nano Jacket is an incredibly lightweight and packable windshirt that sets a new standard for minimalist wind protection. Weighing an astonishingly light 53 grams (size medium), this jacket delivers windproof performance in a feather-weight package.

Made from recycled 10D Pertex Quantum ripstop nylon with a PFC-free DWR finish, the Featherlite Nano provides decent weather resistance despite its gauzy, thin construction—the trim athletic fit layers well without excess fabric.

A standout feature is the stuff pocket integrated into the jacket’s collar. This pocket allows it to pack down to the size of a small energy bar, eliminating the need for a separate stuff sack.

While thin and specialised, the Featherlite Nano gets high marks for its ridiculously low weight and excellent packability, making it unnoticeable in your pack. This is an ultra-packable just-in-case wind layer for added protection for ounce-counting minimalists.
