Marmot DriClime Windshirt - Men's

5 Star Rating

a story about my favorite peice of gear.

By Ranked #778 - Men's Windshirts and Jackets October 26, 2004

So, I was camping for a while in Minnesota's Chippewa National Forest. We stayed near the town of Remer, which happens to be spelled the same forward as it does backwards. One night I ventured too close to the fire, which melted my brand new Windshirt. I was bummed, because it was oh-so-rad. I mailed back the Windshirt to the supplier, and explained my problems. Melted gear definitely compromised my workday, which consisted of capturing newborn white tailed deer. A few bogs later, I was surprised to receive a new Windshirt, which survived all future Minnesotan backcountry jaunts.

Moral of the review: do not burn your favorite gear, for not all gear companies are created equal.
