Marmot Original DriClime Windshirt - Men's

I just purchased this jacket after hearing such great things. I got to try it out yesterday: 43 degrees, wind 15+ mph and above treeline at around 12,000 feet. It performed wonderfully. I wore only it and a short sleeve shirt for most of the hike and was warm the entire time. I bought black so it would absorb the sun better so I think that helped since it was sunny most the time. Highly recommend it!

I'll try to write something I haven't heard already: The windshirt seems to be a versatile piece, as everyone attests. I, however, did not like the fact that it didn't have pockets, so I ordered the DriClime jacket and preferred it. I'm not sure if it's "original," and if not, how it's different, but the pockets are a nice feature. Otherwise, it seemed identical, though there may be specific differences in the weight of the shell material and driclime lining. In any case, the difference is negligible. Sizing is an issue with these windbreaker shirts/jackets. I fit Marmot's large profile on their sizing chart (6'2", 175 lbs.) but it seems big to me. I then read that someone my size had recommended using a larger jacket as a shell with layers underneath and a medium over t-shirts or as a mid layer, so I bought both and they've worked out great. I recommend getting 2: one for use as a shell one as a light top or mid layer. OK? I hope that helps.

Large was too small....and XL is big. I am between a MED and LRG....so I was surprised to have to go to a XL. This store quickly processed return. It is a great, lite windshirt other than the fit. I did not get mine on sale...think I paid too much.

I recommend this to everyone. It is a staple of my outdoor gear. I use it year round as a jacket or a baselayer and I just bought my second one just in case Marmot stops making it.

I love the shirt!Stylish and functional! It was purchased for me by my Mom but,I wish she would have gotten me a Med. instead of the Large.None the less,it's a wonderful "windbreaker" !

Great Jacket-I have had several over the years. I wish I would have gotten the version with hand pockets. ps Dear Marmot: I miss the hood they used to have; you didn't use it much, but when you needed it it was awesome

This windshirt rocks. very light weight and packable. Great as an insulating layer or as a shell. Great in the mountains, slopes and trails. I even pack this in my brief case when I travel for work.

I purchased tis shirt/jack as a shell for running in cool temps (30-40) it is much too warm for these temps. Although it is a good walking shell for these temperatures. I like the length of the hem. The fit is very comfortable.

Imagine an ultra-lightweight, breathable, water-resistant, nearly windproof jacket that keeps you comfortable while active or sitting still across an exceptionally wide range of temperatures. It's usually the first and only jacket I need to reach for when packing for a weekend outdoors - whatever the activity, wherever the destination. This should be the first jacket anyone interested in the outdoors owns - and it may be the only one you ever need.

This is absolutely the most useful and versatile piece of clothing I own. In fact, I just bought my second one--even though the first isn't damaged or worn out in any way.

Got this jacket before I went to Canada as a layer under my heavier jackets. Didn't need them. This provided all the wind, cold and rain protection I needed. This performs well above my expectations and I was glad the backcountry.com chat staff talked me into it. Will be purchasing for my wife and kids.

This is a great layer as well as a shell. It has "straight shirt tales" for tucking in yet works great by itself. I have an older dry clime vest which has a thin stretch panel back....too bad they don't make 'em like that any mare. In general, it's a wind breaker that wicks...awesome!

This thing is absolutely the best jacket I have ever owned. I've worn it almost every day since I bought it a year ago. Yeah it keeps the wind off well. Put a hoody or fleece under it and now you're toasty warm down to at least freezing (and I hate the cold). wear a lightweight wicking shirt or even no shirt at all underneath and it's perfect for mountain biking and running in cold weather. It dries quick and is easy to clean. It doesn't resist rain well if it's raining and you run from the car to the store no biggie cause it dries fast but if your caught in a downpour you're gonna get a soaking. Not only does it work well but it looks great too so you can wear it just as a jacket anywhere pretty much. I couldn't give this thing any less than a 5. I highly recommend it

I think that this would be a great garment, but I returned mine as the fit was a little too restrictive on my collar bone. My gag reflex kept wanting to kick in. Other than that it fit great, blocked the wind, and seemed to breathe well.

I wore this in Aspen last month at ruggerfest under a Marmot Oracle in rain and 45 degrees. Good warmth and lightweight. I used it to walk around town at night, and it was great. Cut wind, but didn't overheat inside the bars . XL fits trim but allows for movement(I am 6', 240lbs). Looks good too. I also wore this as a next-to-skin layer after rugby training in GA this week (windy and 36 degrees). Loved it. This piece has multiple uses. It will not work as an outer layer in very cold temps. It is a shirt. Works well for what it's designed for though. Nice job Marmot. Good service from Q&A to delivery. Thanks...

The driClime was the most essential piece of gear I carried this year on my PCT thru-hike. In the desert it kept me warm at night and insulated my water by day. From the Sierra north I used it almost every time I took a break. It has a great warmth to weight ratio. By my calculations a .87. Which is almost unheard of! It dries fast, differentiates you from a homeless person and offers more than I thought any jacket could offer.
