Description

More awesome than a pre-dawn mission to the summit of a local 14'er—kablow!

True, the Marmot Men's Super Mica Jacket does feature pro-level weatherproofing, a sub-nine-ounce weight, and enough technical features to drown a space shuttle engineer, but that's no reason to drool on yourself. Instead, reach for this three-season storm shell when you need to save space and weight in your fast-and-light trail pack and you're sure foul weather is on the horizon. The best part? Despite all the attention to the performance, plenty of time was devoted to dialing in the fit. Ok, maybe it is worth drooling over.
  • Waterproof breathable MemBrain Strata keeps you dry in brutally-wet weather, and it allows sweaty moisture to escape so you feel comfortable, not clammy, underneath this jacket
  • Duralite Zonal Reinforcements improve overall shell durability
  • Fully taped seams add to overall weatherproofing
  • Underarm vents open wide so you can release some hot air and exchange it for cooler air outside
  • Angel-Wing Movement describes the articulated cut of the arms, which gives you a full range of motion without lifting the hem of this jacket and exposing your waist
  • Gale-Force Hood is adjustable for fit and has a laminated brim to keep rain out of your face
  • Large Pack Pockets and smaller chest pocket provide quick-access storage for essential hiking, climbing or backpacking gear

Well, maybe you could, but not for this price. This is SUPER light weight, and extremely water proof. I have worn this on my bike in downpours thinking I would come home soaked. But I arrive dry every time. This jacket may be breathable, as I do not have anything to compare it to, but it will trap your sweat. I have found that if I just slow down my pace a little I have nothing to worry about though. And then I get to enjoy the rain a little bit longer :-) And Back Country has the best prices!

Purchased an extra large and had to return it. The upper arm area is way too tight and I don't have big biceps or anything.

The SuperMica over two puffs...

Here's a selfie of the Marmot Super Mica, worn over a Western Mountaineering Flash down puff (and a Mountain Hardwear Compressor puff) in front of Mount Ritter in the California Sierra Nevada on a very cold and windy morning.
This is a great shell. It's always in my pack. Absolutely love it.

Been looking at this jacket since it came out. Have the Mica too, but I really like the pit zips on this one. Minimal added bulk. Used it on a really wet snowday in Ouray, over my soft shell. Worked great. Breathability as expected...fine. Nice hood over helmet, and good adjustability. I'm usually between Med, and Lg in most jackets..medium usually tight in shoulders on non stretch stuff. Fits like I expected. I got the Lg...
I have a hard time thinking about having $300+ goretex jacket stuffed in bottom of pack with screws, cams etc. This jacket is a great compromise. would definitely buy it again

It's very light wt. and easy to pack. I got room to wear another middle layer. I need to test it for waterproofing during the coming Spring.

I bought this primarily for my daily commutes which in florida summers usually involves a downpour and on a bike, I've gotten caught more than once. The price was a little high but I took a shot at it. It's worked great and kept me dry the whole time. The pit ventilation is really the only type of venting but it's primary job is to keep me dry and it does that very well. I also wear it now on cooler evening bike rides because it does a great job as a windbreaker. It's light, I can pack it for any trip and it's tough so I never worry about it. It's been to Haiti, Guatemala and Costa Rica and kept me dry throughout. Love this jacket, would definitely recommend and would definitely buy another, though I don't think I will need to.

Love this shell!

I've used this jacket on quite a few hikes and backpacking trips now. I am definitely not impressed with the water repellent finish. This jacket wets out within 5 minutes in light rainfall. It is a good windbreaker, but I would never bring it on a trip with more than 30% chance of rain. I use it as a back-up jacket because it is light and packs small. But if I'm expecting rain, I use something more water proof. Also, the only reason this breathes at all is because it has pit zips and vented pockets. I like the technical features, but am very disappointed with the performance. I should note that it has survived quite a bit of bushwhacking without tearing. If only I had bought it from backcountry like I usually do, I'd return it...

Not a single waterproof jacket will keep you dry from sweat if you are active. None. As for ?wetting out? I think you?ll find the exterior material doesn?t shed water like a newly waxed car after 5 minutes but even though it appears saturated, the interior remains dry. It might feel cold and clammy but hey, Im fine with that so long as it keeps the rain off. What size do you wear? If you really want to get rid of it and your the same size I might be interested in buying it.

How does this product compare to the Montane...

How does this product compare to the Montane Minimus. I am looking to get a nice versatile rain jacket for my boyfriend for a combination of outdoor activities (hiking, trail running, snowshoeing). Thanks!

Hey g15,

Thanks for your question. I checked on the Marmot Super Mica Jacket - Men's and the Montane Minimus Jacket - Men's. The Super Mica will have slightly more ventilation and has one more pocket, but the Minimus is slightly lighter and will keep moisture out better. The Minimus will be the faster jacket, but the Super Mica will be more versatile. That being said, there would need to be layering underneath either of these jackets for snowshoeing and both these jackets have a decently tight (athletic) fit so make sure to fit for layering of some sort.

Bought this jacket to replace another jacket I bought from Backcountry years ago. That thing took a beating but started to de-laminate.
This Jacket is the BOMB! it is super light, very breathable, and sheds water like no one's business. and it seems like the fabric has no laminate to it so the problem I had with the previous jacket is not going to happen. Huzzah!

I'd like to know which Super Mica you have, because mine doesn't breathe or shed water at all. Not arguing, just saying my experience is different.

Is it a noisy jacket? I hate materials that make the " zzzzzzz" sound during movement. Thanks for answering.

Yes, it is going to have a crunchy sound and resemble a plastic bag. You might try a soft-shell jacket to minimize annoying noise.

This is a very nice lightweight rain jacket. It packs down very small and is so light you can take it on any hike.
I like the features: pit zips, multiple pockets, and a nice hood. Some hoods on jackets these days are so big (in order to be helmet compatible), they don't fit well without a helmet. This one fits nice and has good adjustments.
The material is very light, but seems pretty durable.
The breathability is pretty good; good enough for the dry climate where I live.
The fit is contoured and athletic.
Very good, light jacket

There is absolutely a size that will fit some 6'3" guys. His other dimensions make a difference, though. A 6'3" beanpole is different than a 6'3" linebacker. What is his chest measurement?

It really just depends on how much you weigh. If you are on the thinner side then an XL will be fine. If you are the bigger side I would go up to a XXL.

The jacket looks great, fits great, and has all the Gucci features of a lifestyle jacket or technical shell stuffed into an ultralight package. While there is some tradeoff in durability for UL products, the material and fixtures of this jacket suggest they will hold up admirably. Obviously this isn't a hardcore bushwhacking jacket, or even one you would necessarily want to wear everyday; however, it is perfect for throwing in your Camelbak, daypack, or keeping on you at all times just in case. It was well worth the purchase.

Great light weight jacket for trail running. I've used it in heavy rain & cold. Kept me warm & dry. Arm pit ventilation unzip fine but hard to zip back up.

Should I get the Super Mica, or the Hyper?...

Should I get the Super Mica, or the Hyper? I am a climber in oklahoma, and I am tall and slim. I like "athletic fit."

James Jenden

For a climber, I would recommend the Hyper. Both have angel wing movement, and athletic fit, but the hyper is super stretchy, which is nice for climbing, and it's also a bit more durable.
