Marmot DriClime Windshirt - Men's
The Marmot DriClime Windshirt is far more versatile, much warmer for its weight, and more packable than traditional fleece. It combines DriClime's awesome moisture management with an updated wind resistant, highly breathable shell to create one of the most amazing pieces of outerwear we sell. It can be worn next to the skin as a wicking base layer, layered with other garments as a mid-layer, or worn alone as a low-bulk performance shell. Most of us here at Backcountry.com own a Marmot DriClime Windshirt, and can't imagine getting by without one. The Marmot DriClime Windshirt is the one piece of gear you never have to put away for the season. It rules!

excellent jacket
I wouldn't call this a wind shirt but more of a wind jacket. It excels at blocking wind and providing light warmth. I've been on several hikes with this jacket since I bought it in high winds but moderate temperatures and I absolutely love it. Also, I've been in some light spinkles while wearing this jacket and it shedded moisture easily.
all weather shirt
I bought both myself and wife a Marmot DriClime Windshirt. In washington the weather does anything it wants at any time. These shirts give warmth, wind protection and repel rain pretty good. Great shirt to have in a light weight system. It also stuffs into its own pocket and compresses down to the size of an orange. Good stuff!
DriClime Windshirt--great for active sports
Bought a Marmot Windshirt on the advice of a hiking acquaintance--he said "once you buy one, it will never be out of your pack." He was right-terrific for cold weather hikes in Southern Calif, and for cross-country skiing in the Sierra's (temps were in the low 40's-just wore a long-sleeved polyester first layer underneath). Used it biking one very cold morning (high 30's) with polyester first layer and a very thin (Polartec 100 equivalent) second layer with windshirt on top--kept me warm and comfortable. Weighs next to nothing and packs up small. Highly recommended
Gobi Tested
Deserts can bring on anything and the Gobi did. The DriClime laughed at the sandstorms and kept me warm at altitude. Key though is size and weight-take this and leave the other stuff at home
DriClime Windshirt Hangup
The lining hangs a little too loose for me. It's comfortable against the skin but with any base layer, even silkweight, it clings together. It's also a little too thick for warm weather and a little too thin for cool weather.

Training Tips
As your fitness improves over time by following a carefully planned fitness program, your ability to exercise closer to your maximum heart rate will improve.
Did you know that to lose approximately one pound of fat, an average adult would have to walk 30 miles? You don't have to walk those 30 miles all at once.
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
