DriClime
DriClime® Moisture Management Technology is a family of uniquely plaited bi-component knit fabrics engineered to mechanically draw moisture away from your skin to keep you dry, warm and comfortable.
The key to DriClime is 3-Dimensional Wicking. As moisture moves from the inner fabric touching your skin to the outer fabric, it spreads out across the outer fabric to speed the drying process. DriClime never stops working; it continually passes moisture through to the outer surface for fast evaporation. It is not a finish that washes or wears out; it works forever.
DriClime technology is available in a wide range of products: shelled microclimate layers, base layer, gloves, sleeping bags and backpacks.

Most used piece of kit I've owned. Have worn this around the world in all weathers happy in cod weather with just a thermal and then this or as a travel jacket elsewhere.
My version is an older one which had two waist pockets and a vertical chest pocket much more versatile than the current variant.
Please bring this variant back.

I'm 6'2" 210lbs and the Large fits perfect. Great jacket on its own or perfect compliment underneath my Marmot Aegis. This piece of gear has made it on top of my checklist for every trip.
Have worn it running in 20 degree Wisconsin winters (over the top of a baselayer) and the driclime fleece kept me warm...
Very versatile piece of gear for any type of scenario, and for anytype of weather.

@ Neal check out the Catalyst which has the handwarmer pockets and jacket style hem.

Yes, please bring back the waist hand pockets. It is the only thing keeping me from buying this jacket. Love your products.

Sorry Neal and Bill, I have to disagree. Marmot has it just right in offering the Windshirt without handwarmer pockets. I have owned both versions, and the sans-pocket model is much lighter, more compact, and usable under either a harness or a pack waistbelt. For active outdoor use, the no-pocket version is better. Thank you, Marmot, for keeping this brilliant garment just as it is.

I love this thing. I finally broke down and got one and don't know why I waited so long. On my last 21 day expedition I wore it at some point each day. Just as warm as a fleece but lighter and if it gets wet dries faster. This version (w/o pockets) works better if layering over it as there is less bulk at the waist.

I bought the first one about 5 years ago. Liked it soooo much I bought the wife one. And these have been worn eeeeeverywhere. From to/from the office to the trail. It was just starting to show it's age so I decided to buy another. The new one seems to be a slightly different material. Still cuts the wind like no other and sheds water like a duck, but it seems noisier and more crinkley, if you know what I mean. And the fit seems larger than before. Both shirts are large, but the new one is clearly bigger than the old.
But these are nit picks on an absolutely fantastic piece of kit. This and a sweater will keep you warm in 90% of winter weather. The other 10% is for the fireplace.

I live in the PNW and this is my favorite piece of gear I own. It is light, warm and takes up so little space. I have used it on Mount Shasta and on the PCT. get it and use it.

I own many Marmot products & gear .3 outer wear jackets (shells) ,2 pairs of their gloves, 2 fleece jackets and 5 dry climb wind shirts . There is no ? that the wind shirts is the most versatile product of their line of products i own . I use the wind shirts all year round .They are great as a base layer or as second layer and even as a jacket. they are very light and easy to stow away. they pack down to a small ball no bigger than a grapefruit and weigh next to nothing. I'm i little hard on gear but i still have and wear the first one that i bought almost 13 years ago . Although the fabric is a little worn the zipper & stitching are still in tact . I buy Marmot gear because the company always stands behind there stuff .

My go to jacket for all weather that's above 40 degrees. It is amazingly adaptable and does a decent job in light rain. Excels as a windbreaker and packable jacket. I use it for traveling, climbing, hiking and trail running.

A Mt McKinley guide working at the Marmot store in Bellvue WA said that this shirt is one of the most important pieces of clothing gear you can have. I am so glad I followed his advice. It has been the main source of warmth for me on many trips. Thanks for such a reliable product.

Is this windshirt made of a fleece type material, or is it nylon?
on 1/4/12.
DriClime® is not fleece. It is a bi-component knit polyester: the layer touching your skin wicks away moisture, and the outer layer spreads out the moisture for fast evaporation.

I received this jacket as a gift for Christmas and with only a week wearing it I am sold. In the time I have owned it I have used it for a 30 mile bike ride, a cold and drizzly night hike and a pre-dawn run on a 5 degree morning. At first it thought it would be too warm but I have quickly found it to be the perfect New England winter layer.

My Driclime Windshirt too, has been all over the world, and is a go to piece of gear for most anything. I just counted 7 pieces of theirs in my gear, and it is the best out there in my humble opinion.. I have had one warranty claim and they were an absolute pleasure to deal with and really backed their product up.

I've been wearing the same DriClime shirt for 12 years! I've had the zipper replaced only. It is by far the BEST piece of gear I've ever owned. Living in the PNW I use it all winter in rain,snow,worse. It dries exceptionally quick. Rock climbing, ice climbing, crew, mtn biking, trail running, skiing, pub crawling, it goes everywhere I do. Get it before you end up packing something you'll regret.

I bought my first driclime 12 years ago and it is one of the most versatile garments I own. I use it as an outer piece over a 100 wt fleece shirt for power walking down to 10° and as a layer under my ski parka and over fleece for down hill skiing. I still use it every day and bought a spare in case Marmot foolishly discontinues it. I have convinced many many people to add this to their gear. For the money, there is no equal and Marmot is for life! They refurbished my driclime as they guarantee at no cost.

I, too, have both the older version, the one with the two waist pockets and the vertical chest pocket and the newer one. Both are great products and have kept me warm for years. However, I really like the older version better!! It seems to be cut differently too. Pls bring it back

My original Driclime wind shirt, circa 1992 hangs in my closet, thiner than the current products, a hole from a ticked of yak in Bhutan, a few burn holes from campfires in Nepal, a chew here and there from mice in Zion, etc, etc... I have two others... Hands down the BEST piece of gear I've EVER owned. At least 20 friesds and family have followed and at any backyard bbq on a crisp night it a virtual Marmot Windshirt love-in. "Technically" its shelled long-underware and when used as such the best laying tool EVER... but as the decades moved on it finds itself as the ultimate jacket. Great for chilly belays or walks on the beach... If you don't own one... well... too bad for you. Marmot - if your going to cut the 'girls' at least make a more girly boys color option...please...
