Marmot Men's DriClime Catalyst Jacket

We've had our Driclime Windshirts for about 10 years & LOVE them. We live in south Texas and wear them for our winter jackets most of the time. Keeps us snug & warm and really keeps any biting wind out. Have also taken them to layer under clothes to Minnesota in January, Montana in November, & even to an island in the Bering Sea. They perform amazingly well. Recently got new DriClime Catalyst Jackets because our old windshirts don't have any pockets. This has pockets for our hands and even a "chest" pocket that we use when we layer up. It's not waterproof, but rather, breathes so that we don't overheat when we're hiking long distances. Exceeds all expectations & we consider them "must haves" whenever we travel. We've recommended these to many other birders and have given them as gifts to our lucky friends and family.

Great jacket
I selected this jacket over the Wind Shirt because of the zip up pockets and the ablity to stretch with movement and it ventalates well. This is a great backpacking jacket and it also looks fashionable in the city. I wanted the versitiliity. It is large enough to have a medium layer underneath, but, still fits well with only a t-shirt on. This jacket is true to size. When backpacking, this is one performance wilderness jacket for early morning and evening chills, wind and light rain. But, I also look cool downtown when I commute to work. I was always waiting for the jacket version of the Wind Shirt. Finally, now I have it. You will not regret getting this. This will be your go-to jacket. If you notice, gearheads have this on their backs. Even urban dwellers will get a sence of adventure wearing this, it makes a statement and lives up to it. But best of all, it's not that expensive. Just get it.

Great jacket
I use this coat for jogging it breathes nicely and still blocks out a good amount of wind. The weight is awesome. It is water resistant but will soak up water in heavy down pours. It is very flammable and will get holes quickly from sparks/ embers. Overall great product, very versatile. It could use a pull cord on the bottom to seal in heat. Great mid layer.
