Comments about Marmot Super Mica Rain Jacket - Men's:
I love this rain jacket for summer hiking or spring/fall layering. I had read reviews of last years model (sizes ran small/snug) and knew to buy 1 size larger than I usually wear. This makes sense anyway since it allows me to layer comfortable and keep mobility. The coat is amazingly light and almost compresses into my first.
As for how is functions in poor conditions, I hiked in it for 14 miles up Clingman's Dome in a torrential downpour one day last summer. The jacket kept me bone dry and was extremely breathable. The pit zips let out the heat but while keeping out the water. My favorite feature of the jacket is the adjustable hood. This is the first jacket I've ever owned where I didn't have to tilt my head back in the rain to see out from under it. The bungey adjustment is located perfectly and hood visor stayed put all day. I also appreciate the non slip pads on the shoulders and hips to reinforce/ protect the delicate material from backpacks. My only word of caution would be to avoid bushwacking or situations where the jacket could get caught on snagged on a branch and tear.

Comments about Marmot Super Mica Rain Jacket - Men's:
While I love this lightweight rain jacket for its perfect functionality and lightweight, I am upset about the fit. I am 5' 8" with a wider/longer torso and have a shorter inseam, weighing about 160 lbs. The small is still fairly large, with a larger than normal waist space (as if I had a huge gut) and a zip up that goes uncomfortably high up to my lips. I'm sure these are also meant for layering and more protection from the elements, but I expected a better fit like north face or arcteryx. I use it mainly for biking, so the lightweight is great.

I have yet to take this on a true backpacking excursion, but from the few light treks I've used it on, it has treated me well. It's extremely light and thin. Barely feels like you're wearing anything, especially with the pit zips open. And you can wrap it up into a ball and tuck it into the hood. Tuck it into your bag, and you'll barely notice it's there. Loving this jacket!
