''In addition to being highly versatile and sensibly priced, the Catalyst is cut from sustainable materials,'' says Outside Buyer's Guide, Summer '08.

Backpacker April '08 says ''This classic windshirt—a favorite of Backpacker testers for 15 years—captures this year's Green Award.''
The DriClime Catalyst jacket is water resistant, wind resistant and breathable, and it's part of Marmot's new UpCycle™ program
Made from durable polyester, Catalyst protects you from the elements; stretch paneling increases breathability
Eco-friendly Durable Water Repellent finish uses chemicals that are friendly to the environment
UpCycle DriClime® tricot lining performs just as well as the old DriClime but uses 80% post consumer content, i.e., plastic bottles
DriClime lightly insulates and moves moisture away to the outer face where it spreads out for quick evaporation
DriClime-lined collar and chin guard are easy on the skin; windflap behind front zipper keeps breezes out
Features elastic drawcord hem
Napoleon zippered chest pocket has a headphone port
Strategically placed stretch panels and Angel-Wing Movement® sleeves allow unrestricted range of motion

Imported.

Comments about Marmot DriClime Catalyst Jacket - Men's:

Good wind resistance, OK in a drizzle, just the right warmth to beat the chill. For its weight, this is the first piece of clothing I wear or pack on any outing. Tapered low on the backside to prevent chills while sitting. Neck cinches from the back and has a comfortable lining. I wear it around town on chilly mornings and have added a insulation layer for comfortable climbing where ease of movement makes it a great light outer layer.

Comments about Marmot DriClime Catalyst Jacket - Men's:

Loved this jacket as soon as I put it on. It is much warmer then you'd think and the pockets and nice and soft when your hands get chilly. The cut is nice and fitted and it looks good. Recently, I wore it on a rainy day at the local Fair. It kept me dry during several hours of off and on rain. So dry that when I put on my heavier Gor-Tex jacket for the evening, my wife took this one since her jacket had soaked through. I would definitely recommend this and am sure I will get plenty of use out of it.

Comments about Marmot DriClime Catalyst Jacket - Men's:

Looking for a GP jacket for spring/fall. Thought I needed a softshell, but I stopped looking after I found this. Wore it comfortably in MN, in near freezing light-sleet, as well as along the Mogollon. It's so lightweight, it's my go-to jacket for dayhikes in all but worst weather. Slick, retro-look takes getting used to, though.
