Bells and whistles? Who needs them, say the designers of the Marmot Minimalist Jacket, a high-quality, lightweight technical shell that has everything that's needed and nothing that's not. Special GORE-TEX Paclite fabric is guaranteed---that's guaranteed---to keep you dry and the seams are tape throughout for full waterproof protection. The theme carries over to the waterproof front zipper and storm flap that ensure virtually no drop of water gets through to your core. The Minimalist Jacket also has adjustable features for when the weather gets real nasty. They include a drawstring hood, Velcro Cuffs and an elastic draw cord hem. Sometimes, even in severe rainstorms, you can heat up in no time when you're chugging along. If this happens, just unload the heat with aggressive underarm PitZips that provide relief in no time. For all that it does, the Marmot Minimalist weighs a mere 15 ounces, just shy of a pound, and it tucks neatly away into your pack, if needed. This long-lasting durable jacket is a must for alpine climbing, bouldering, hiking and backing. Always take it along---you'll be sorry if you don't.
