Ether driclime jacket review.

Returned again and got marmot men s ether driclime jacket size l. Most helpful positive review marmot ether driclime love this jacket. Packs down into its pocket which is nice. While the driclime liner is a very thin piece of felt like material it makes a massive difference in how the jacket feels.

Sleeves are not tapered or tight like in women s ether jacket. It added significantly to the jacket s wind resistance ranking it at the top of the pile. The driclime lining is thinner than a standard dri clime jacket so this jacket has less insulating value than you might expect. Our reviewers found this jacket s construction bulky and cumbersome.

I m between a small and a medium and find the ether driclime s small size to be too tight around the shoulders and chest. I found it does not work well under a raincoat in a cold heavy rain because it provides little insulation. Qualified orders eligible for free s h and free returns. Keeps some water out this isn t build for a heavy downpour.

The ether hoody is a snug athletic fitting wind jacket that has that thin warm layer already built in. Unlike lighter windshirts the marmot ether driclime jacket above features a peach fuzz driclime lining a two layer knit that wicks sweat by pushing it from the inner surface to an outer layer where it dissipates. However plenty of the customer reviews mentioned that the jacket is less efficient in warmer climates and although can be water repellant it cannot withstand heavy rainfall.

In this case i am better off with a 100 fleece or two thin base layers. It does have very long sleeves but they keep my entire arm down to my wrists covered no matter what i m doing e g reaching for the handlebar while bicycling. Because of the wind cold water resistance that the ether driclime contains it s best to be used for outside activities. The ether had trouble stacking up against other contenders that are far more packable and better performing.

The marmot ether is one of three lined jackets in this review. Sturdier and seems same weight as my old women s windshirt with same roomy fit so i can easily wear sweatshirt underneath. It s a great wind jacket that keeps the chill off in a solid breeze through major wind gusts is water repellent and breathes well while providing some insulation.
