Hi, I'm only familiar with European sizes. According to sizing charts I would need an M, but am not sure if I then will be able to wear anything underneath. My height is 170 cm and weight is 66 kg. Is M or L recommended? Thanks
Arthur Debowski
Member since
I would go with the medium if you only intend to have a base layer underneath or a tshirt. If you hope to regularly layer for warmth, size up to the Large.
Karen
Member since
I'm about the same size as you and I have a medium in this jacket. Like Arthur says, it's the perfect size where I can layer for warmth without it being baggy on me.
Love it!

I am a warm body and usually just require a lite puffy coat and a wind resistant shell. This coat is very light weight and keeps me dry as well. I've made it my everyday coat and use to for cycling as well.
Fantastic jacket!

This jacket is fantastic. It's waterproof and strong, but at the same time light and compactible. The underarm zippers allow for easy ventilation, and also allow access to layers under the jacket (for instance, I can reach into the pockets of my fleece through the pit-zip holes). It's form-fitting and adjustable enough to look good on different body shapes, with or without layers underneath. I'm 5'8" and weigh 135 lbs. I would normally be a small, but I usually wear a medium in jackets because (like someone else who wrote a review) I have wide shoulders. One note on the color -- I previously bought the "vibrant purple" but the color turned out to be more of a bright puce, rather than the deep purple that was shown on my screen. I now have the "grass green," which was more true to the color shown. Marmot is a great brand in general, and this jacket, being Goretex, is even better. Highly recommended!
Great Jacket!

I have worn this on many backpacking trips and with everyday errands. I've had it for 3 years now and it is showing no wear and tear. The Gore-Tex material is great and worth the extra dollar! I have used this in cold temps with a light layer underneath and it has done a great job blocking out the wind and cold. I've also never had a problem with water getting in, sometimes in warm heat there is a bit of condensation build up from your body though! This jacket rolls up pretty small and is rather light which makes it a great travel companion.
It does have a bit of a feminine cut in the back which may hug a curvier woman slightly tighter, so if you are worried I may recommend sizing up.
just as I expected

Right after I purchased it, a rainstorm came. I wore it hiking with a fleece underneath and it was perfect. I have had a pre-cip in the past and this one is a step up. Good choice. Fits just like the pre-cip.
Love this Jacket

It's the light blue one. This jacket is perfect for keeping you warm and dry in all conditions.
Does anyone know if this jacket has a liner...
carneyl

Does anyone know if this jacket has a liner of any kind in it (mesh or nylon)? or is it one of the straight single layer jackets. I can't find a photo of the interior anywhere!
Mark Parrett
Member since
There isn't a separate liner in this jacket - but it does use gore tex paclite. There is a driclime material on the chin area that makes for a nice soft layer where the jacket hits your face. On the inside gore tex paclite shells use a specific gore tex membrane with a protective layer made of an oil-hating substance and carbon. So the interior doesn't feel the same as the exterior - it's that protective layer that will be against your skin. Not a liner since everything is welded together, but I find paclite jackets to be perfectly comfortable against your skin.
Marmot Minimalist does the trick

Literally chillin' in my Marmot Minimalist jacket on a sunrise summit of Mt Bierstadt (elev. 14,060'). It was pretty cold and the wind was blowing and this jacket kept the chill out of my bones. The pit zips were great on the way back down when I started warming up a bit. It works wonderfully in the rain, too.
Perfect jacket for wind, rain, sleet...

I bought this jacket for a recent trip to Alaska. We kayaked, biked, hiked...and were in high winds, rain, sleet, and temps from 40-60 degrees. I put on a couple of lightweight layers underneath the jacket and I was warm and dry for all our adventures. Great jacket!
practical and fun!

I have the purple - vivid purple - no one could possibly miss you on the trail! Have hiked in rain, hiked in hail, hiked in light snow with some wind - no leaks, comfortable, easy to stow in the day pack. Haven't had it in a flood yet - but that's probably coming - sometimes our South Dakota seasonal rains can be exciting! Great color, easy wearing, good start to what I hope will be a long, satisfying relationship!
Love this Jacket

This is a great jacket! Got the red one and love it. The color is so vibrant and is a deep blue-red. Went to Irleand for two weeks and it was perfect! Not bulky and fits very close to the body. If you are wanting to put things under it I would go up a size possibly two. It is very form fitting. Keeps you very dry. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Love hiking and have used in in heavy rains already.

I am vacationing in Australia and New Zealand this summer (June). Would this jacket be appropriate?
Thomas Ogasawara
Member since
Yes, this is an excellent shell, it will keep you dry and happy. Consider wearing some sort of insulation layer underneath, as this jacket does not provide much warmth at all.
ZadZack
Member since
Yes! I just returned from Australia myself and this was the jacket I brought. Despite it being summer there now, it was a wet and wild summer (for Australia) and the Marmot Minimalist worked like a charm. (Why fiddle around with an umbrella, when you can stay dry and hands free?!?)
As another respondant mentioned, you will want to layer for extra warmth when needed, but otherwise, this is a great, lightweight Gore-Tex jacket -- perfect for travel.

I'm training for an ultra run in June. Would this jacket function for my long runs in the rain near Seattle, Wa?
Karen
Member since
While this jacket is very light-weight it's not the most breathable because of all the goretex. I suspect that if you use it for long runs you'll end up about as wet from all of your sweat that's been contained in the jacket as you would be from the Pacific NW showers.

I have just returned from 13 day hike through australian alpines. Day two saw torrential rain for 5hrs. Jacket held up great only slight dampness from where I opened up collar to cool down at times, would definitely buy again, so lightweight too.
