Everywhere I have gone the last ten years I have taken my Marmot Dry Climb Wind Shirt with me.If I go to Florida, my wind shirt is first item in my suitcase, and when the sun goes down it is the first item I put on. When I go to hunt ducks in Saskatchewan in October first item (if I am not wearing it) in my suitcase is my wind shirt.I NEVER leave home with out it, and wear it more than any other piece of clothing I have.My wind shirt was lost on my last trip.I just purchased a new one. It is even a better design!The zip pocket in the front is much more functional. You can put a cell phone in it along with other smaller items and you can get to them quickly.My old wind shirt had the large pocket on the side so you could self pack it. The problem was the pocket was so large anything you put in it would slide down to the back part of your rib and it was a real pain to get it out. So the front pocket is a huge upgrade. I read some reviews of people who did not like the new pocket because you could not self stuff the shirt. If you want to pack it just go buy a stuff pack for $1.99.The cuffs on my old wind shirt (yep the one that was lost) were really uncomfortable. Tight around your wrists. I actually took mine to my tailor and had the elastic cut out and just sewed the cuff so they were loose around my wrist. The new jacket has upgraded cuffs, they are perfect.The Dry Climb Wind shirt is very flexible. Once you get one you will figure out the many uses it has. I wear mine biking on cold days here in Minnesota, running, skiing and as a base layer when it gets cold. Most of the winter I have it on around the house and when I go somewhere it stays on me.Best single piece of clothing I have.
