Marmot DriClime Windshirt - Men's

The Marmot DriClime has what amounts to almost a cult following... and for good reason - it is incredibly useful under many different situations. For some its a running jacket, for others its for climbing. Personally I use it for everything from a warm, versatile, windproof and water resistant layer while backpacking... to a jacket to throw over a t-shirt on a chilly morning walk.

The DriClime packs down very small, about the size of a softball, and is very light. Between the pit vents and the full zipper it breathes well enough that you can keep it on, even when warm, and use it as a sunshade. It cuts wind like few other layers, arguably as well or better than GoreTex PacLite. The fabric has a great feel to it, similar to silk or rayon. The interior is a very soft brushed fabric that feels fantastic. I've worn a pack over my DriClime many times, and I have yet to see wear on the jacket from the pack itself. The quality is top notch, what you would expect from Marmot.

If you're looking for a multi-faceted, useful, comfortable jacket that will last you decades... here it is. Its so incredibly versatile that you'll likely wind up finding yourself putting it to uses that you hadn't originally planned. And the few times you don't need it you can throw it in your pack and hardly notice the extra 8 ounces. It has a cult following for a reason.

Without a doubt, it is the best layer I have ever owned. Breathes like crazy.
Buy one!!!

I'm 6'2" 210lbs and the Large fits perfect. Great jacket on its own or perfect compliment underneath my Marmot Aegis. This piece of gear has made it on top of my checklist for every trip.

Have worn it running in 20 degree Wisconsin winters (over the top of a baselayer) and the driclime fleece kept me warm...

Very versatile piece of gear for any type of scenario, and for anytype of weather.

I was in the UK for work and decided to fly my wife to Ireland for some vacation while I was overseas. We did quite a bit of hiking in the SW part of the island. The DriClime provided much needed wind protection for hikes along the coast and repelled the surprise showers. The trim fit is nice as nobody likes feeling like they are wearing a trash bag. Range of motion was also quite nice during a quick round at a pitch and putt.
