Marmot Original DriClime Windshirt

By Ranked #54 - Men's Windshirts and Jackets May 16, 2008

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.
