Wanted to Love It But...

2 years ago

I really wanted to love this jacket - the Minimalist was going to be my durable, storm proof shell layer for outdoor activities. BUT, I was extremely disappointed and shocked when, on its first encounter with water - a light sprinkling with a garden hose for less than 10 seconds, the face fabric failed miserably. While most of the fabric repelled the droplets as expected, water seeped in immediately along the shoulders and hood. Is this normal for a brand new, DWR-coated, GoreTex fabric or is my jacket an unfortunate lemon? I spent quite some time researching this jacket and I felt I found the perfect value-optimized rain shell but I am not confident it will hold up in rainy weather.

You WILL BE disappointed

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don’t waste your time… this jacket will fail you and you will be disappointed. The 2nd time wearing this in light rain, the jacket became completely soaked in through the shoulder seam area. Even buying this at 50% off, I’m still upset. Compared to the previous model, the angled zipper design makes it difficult to access the side pockets. The drawcord on the hood is a pain to adjust. I couldn’t get it to loosen without taking the entire jacket off. The single pull drawcord at the waist is also less user-friendly than the previous version and I don’t believe will last long. The older model had dual tensioners which made for easier adjustability.

Face Fabric Absorbed Water

2 years ago

This legendary Marmot was supposed to be my durable, stormproof shell, but despite loving the fit and design, it failed miserably when subjected to water. Not rain, just a light sprinkling from a garden hose for less than ten seconds! While most of the face fabric repelled water as expected, key areas around the shoulders and hood absorbed it immediately. I want to give the Minimalist a chance (I researched it and the reviews are great), so is my brand new jacket an unfortunate fluke - like maybe the DWR was not applied evenly - or is this common for this jacket?

Fits good, but very poor waterproof/breathability

1 year ago

The fit of the jacket is good, with enough room to put some extra layers underneath it. But at the most important part the jacket fails in mine opinion: that is the waterproof and breathability. In lighter rain for about 30-60 minutes it will keep you dry. But longer time or heavier rains, the jacket starts to let water through, especially at the shoulders and arms. Walked couple of hours in rain and was soaked. Breathability is poor as well. When start sweating, the inside of the jacket get wet quickly. Unless the zippers under your arms. I expect more from this jacket for its price. Especially because for it's Gore-Tex, which claims to be waterproof and breathable.

Nice Jacket, Great Features, Works Well in Rain

2 years ago

I've worn this jacket on a lot of adventures. From multi-day rain storms in the High Uintah Wilderness Area, to Florida tropical storms, this jacket comes with me whenever I need some quick protection from the weather. It has not disappointed me in wet conditions. GoreTex just works. The hood has a great fit because of the adjustable draw cord, and pockets are well placed. It can feel pretty hot inside when the temperature and humidity are high, but maybe I need to experiment a little with the pit zip ventilation more. And IMHO this is a good looking jacket. I am 6' 2" 190 lbs and the LARGE fits great.

My favorite rain jacket

1 year ago

I used it regularly for 5 years until I recently lost it on a bike packing trip in the mountains and missed it so much I purchased a new one. I've used it both working outdoors and recreationally hiking and biking. This jacket has proven to be a great all season rain/snow shell.
