I used the Marmot Mica on a recent trip and though it was water proof it was obviously not built for backpacking. The pockets are too low and the waist is too high among a few other things.

How does the the nano compare? Any backpackers used it in the wet?

The Nano has higher pack pockets which will work better with a waist belt. As far as lengths, the mica is 22 and 3/4" center front and 28" center back in a a med while the nano is similar at 23" cf and 28 cb. If you're looking for something longer you might check out Marmot's Oracle which is 24 and 1/2 in front and 30 in back. It's updated with Marmot's new Membrain Strata and weighs 18 ozs in a med.
