Perfect but too delicate for backcountry
June 16, 2012
Very light, very breathable but not durable at all. It's absolutelly comfortable for me from 12 to 22 C degrees with single t-shirt and from 0 C degrees with mid layer (note that temperature range can be different for you, depends on your singularity, air humidity in your region, etc.). Non waterproof but will keep you dry in case of short-term rain. Also it dryes super fast when get wet. I think it's very good choice for city (as every day peace) or around town tripping, but it's too delicate for long backcountry tripping and especially for forest tripping. When I was in a forest I tore my sleeve because of very small and not sharp branch.
Pros: Great design, breathable, super light, dryes very fast, Cons: low durabilityWrite a review for the Marmot Ether DriClime Jacket here.
New Model is a Step Down
June 07, 2011
I own 7 Marmot windshirts, I love them all, and they are all different from year to year. To my knowledge, Marmot has never made a hoodie windshirt for the ladies - hence the reason I bought the men's version. I am 5'5'', 120 lbs, I usually wear women's M or S windshirt (the sleeves are sometimes too short on the smalls though). The men's small fits me perfectly. The sleeves were long enough, the shoulders weren't too big and the waist was just wide enough to fit over my hips. But I was disappointed with the design and the cut backs they made presumably to save weight. Although it is light for a lined, hooded windbreaker-type jacket, the driclime lining they used in thinner than in older models and the lining ends about 3 inches from the wrist - what!? I want the soft lining down around my wrists! The hood is not lined either - wish it was, but it is tailored for a nice, snug fit. There are zippered side hand warmer pockets - not lined either, bummer. It's a great jacket and it is hands down, my favorite piece of gear that I own (the Marmot windhshirt in general), everyone should try it! It wicks great, dries out SUPER fast and keeps me warm even when damp, and for being pretty lightweight, it is SUPER durable. LOVE.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, lightweight shell, wicks great, dries super fastMarmot Men's Ether DriClime Jacket Photo
