Survives Rocks and Gusts, Cleans up nicely

By Erik Gulbranson Ranked #16 - Men's Vests October 23, 2008

Lightweight and surprisingly durable, the Marmot DriClime vest was a nice investment for my mountain gear. It blocks the wind and has a light layer of poly insulation on the interior (around the kidneys and up the chest). It is minimalistic in the sense that it bunches up into next to nothing, and when I tossed a bunch of jagged rock samples in my pack it came away with nary a scratch. The countless coffee stains cleaned up very nicely in the washing machine. It's not the end all be all of backcountry gear, but it is a sweet little investment to keep your body temperature up when the wind comes crashing down. It doesn't look too bad either with the token chest pocket.
