A clean, lean, rain shedding machine, the Marmot Minimalist Gore-Tex Men's Jacket is an essential in your bag of tricks. Cut from Paclite®, a GORE-TEX membrane bonded directly to an outer shell material, then covered by a durable protective layer made of an oleophobic (anti-oil) and carbon finish, the use of this protective layer makes a separate lining unnecessary. This is a surprisingly lightweight, packable jacket that is up for anything. From spring hiking through recreational cross country skiing, the versatility of the Minimalist is limited only by your imagination. Over a tee, over a baselayer, layered on top of your midlayer0 craft your system with the weather for a comfortable combination and a shell that squashes down to fit in a side pocket. For the carry-on only traveler who wants to arrive at their destination ready to go, the Minimalist is a boon companion. Do we sound enthusiastic? We are. These jackets are deceptively simple, surprisingly durable, and with a launder in Tech Wash between seasons, and a DWR refresher now and then, these just keep on going, season after season, keeping the weather out to make any day better.
