DriClime Windshirt

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

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 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 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.

Is this windshirt made of a fleece type material, or is it nylon?

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.
