Reviews:
tragic flaw
Older models of the DriClime Vest had a fabric panel across the entire back, allowing for high breathability, especially when running or schlepping a load. This feature, plus the wind shedding front, made this an absolutely versatile piece of weather gear that went with me everywhere. For some unknown reason, the back panel is now nylon and simply does NOT perform anywhere close to the older models. I'm leaving it at home. Big mistake Marmot.
Not that bad
I have had this vest for about three weeks now. I have yet to take it on the trail so for now I have just worn it to work and while on the job in cool conditions. It does an awesome job keeping me warm at 4am and I am duly impressed with the way the vest stays dry. During a walk across campus one day it began to rain pretty hard. The vest repelled the water with no worries. That said, a couple members of the opposite sex commented on how nice it looked and how bright it the lava color was.
