Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"Marmot Shelled DriClime Series Marmot DriClime jackets use a non-stretch warp knit fabric on the inside, so you can slide your arms into the sleeves easier than with fabrics that stretch. A Marmot exclusive, the concept combines 3-dimensional wicking of DriClime brushed tricot with a wind-resistant, highly breathable shell. A Shelled DriClime jacket can be worn next to the skin as a wicking baselayer, layered with other garments as a mid-layer insulation, or worn alone as a low-bulk, one-piece performance system. Banshee 1.7 oz. 100% polyester fabric with Marmot Defender DWR Wind resistant, water repellent, and breathable fabric protects you from mild conditions, so you stay comfortable DriClime Bi-Component 100% polyester wicking lining for breathability and excellent moisture transfer. Mesh pit vents for excellent breathability and moisture wicking Zip chest pocket to secure small items. DriClime lined collar and chin guard moisture wicking fabric for comfort around your neck and face. Wind flap behind front zipper protects against drafts. Elastic cuffs for comfort. Angel-Wing Movement allows full range of motion in arms so jacket doesn't ride up. Avg. Weight: 11 oz. Avg. Length: 28.9"."

From GearX.com:
"Still a top performer, the DriClime Windshirt now has an updated look and comes in new colors."

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Marmot DriClime Windshirt is far more versatile, much warmer for its weight, and more packable than traditional fleece. This ever popular piece of gear has been updated for 2005. Now handwarmer pockets and CoolMax mesh pit vents add more comfort and versatility. It combines DriClime's awesome moisture transfer with a wind resistant, highly-breathable shell. It can be worn next to the skin as a wicking base layer, layered with other garments as a mid-layer, or worn alone as a low-bulk performance system."

"Literally. . . I wear it every day. I wear it like most people wear a hoodie. I've taken it everywhere for 4 years now: over mountain passes, along glaciers, into a 3rd grade classroom, in downpours. I've worn it against my skin, as an outer layer, and as a mid layer, on a bike ride, to the gym- you get it."

"Three descriptive words -- simple, functional, and versatile.

To describe more would be a crime."

"My wife and kids tease me about how I go on and on about this "piece!" As a backpacker to the Tetons, Wind River, Glacier National Park Mountains and to the Himalayas, I would not hesitate to call this "the ONE piece" I would not leave home without! It is, as everyone has said, a breathable, wicking, windproof garment that can be worn next to skin, over another skin layer piece, or as an outer shell."

"Incredible pieces. Extremely versatile. I consider these items a must for everyday life as well as extreme life. I know it sounds like I work for Marmot, but the fact is, these garments are the ultimate base layers. Very comfortable next to the skin, excellent over long underwear (on colder days), smooth as silk under a shell and perfect as everyday winter/fall outerwear."

"This is a really nifty little piece that's intended to be used as a super-lightweight (~ 300 g) in the summer or a wind-proof base-layer in the winter. It is basically designed along the lines of a dress-shirt. The shell is a super-smooth nylon that must be very near to being a microfibre."

"My favorite layering piece. I bike in it alone, have been in 20' of snow with it as a base layer. It is far more water resistant than I presumed and basically works in all but a downpour. I find the inner material to be extremely comfortable to the skin and it wicks just like it claims. It is pricey but has justified itself due to its flexibility and quality."

"Just got this jacket (for summer)--has proved cozy and windproof on adirondack peaks. Is lightweight (10oz) and proved to be a lot more rain resistant than I was hoping. Hiked for seven hrs in the rain this past weekend and my T-shirt stayed dry under this thing. Joy...."
