Marmot minimalist jacket review.

As referenced at the start of this review the marmot minimalist rain shell jacket does sit at the pricier end of the scale of rain shell jackets but i think as in a lot of things you get what you pay for. The marmot minimalist isn t minimal among its competitors. When the forecast isn t optimal but you re still ready to get out there wear the lightweight compressible men s minimalist jacket. 100 seam taping a dwr durable water repellent finish an attached adjustable hood and.

I have had it over a year now. Perfect for your next rainy outdoor adventure it features gore tex paclite technology which offers a wind blocking hydrophobic membrane and weight minimizing comfort. Weighing in at under one pound with paclite technology this jacket is designed for storing in your day pack backpacking pack and carry on so that you are always prepared for high elevation rain clouds scattered showers at the crag and all day thunderstorms in the city. On the women s version you ll get two main pockets cinches at the hip and hood and velcro adjustments at the cuffs.

A simple functional piece of rain wear without too many bells and whistles to bog you down. Marmot s minimalist jacket isn t new but its combination of price and performance keeps it among our favorite rain shells year after year. All in all i am really happy with the pockets on the marmot minimalist very functional and convenient for hiking purposes. It s heavy doesn t pack into its pocket and has plenty of pockets and features that defy its name.

Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. The minimalist isn t one of the cheapest jackets we tested yet offers fairly unimpressive performance. As always though if you shop around you will likely probably get a deal and knock a chunk off the list price. For its price or less you could pick up a much more waterproof jacket.

The minimalist jacket is one of marmot s most popular and universal jackets. Due to the low this jacket does everything i need it to.
