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."

From RockCreek:
"The Men's DriClime Windshirt from Marmot is a versatile, wicking underwear/shell combination for all activities: use as a base layer, mid layer or outerwear piece. Marmot's exclusive DriClime fabric is wind resistant, water repellant, and breathable. The interior lining is super-soft and comfortable, wicking away perspiration. Marmot's Driclime softshell has become a mainstay piece in most staff members' wardrobes."

From REI:
"Still a top performer, the DriClime Windshirt now has an updated look and comes in new colors. This versatile jacket is wind resistant, water repellent, breathable and offers nice warmth. Use as a base layer, mid layer or outer layer during high-exertion outdoor activities depending on conditions. Mini-ripstop polyester shell prevents convective heat loss and lets your body breathe. DriClime® plaited tricot knit lining lightly insulates and moves moisture away to the outer face where it spreads out for quick evaporation. CoolMax® polyester mesh underarm vents provide cooling airflow as your activity level heats up. Angel-Wing Movement™ sleeves allow unrestricted range of motion. Features DriClime-lined collar and chin guard, two DriClime-lined handwarmer pockets, zippered Napoleon chest pocket and drop-tail hemline. Elastic cuffs and a draft flap backing the full-length zipper keep out cold air. Standard fit allows light layering underneath."

"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...."
