Marmot Minimalist Rain Jacket - Review - The Outdoor Gear Review 

Ahhh yes, 7 years later and I am still watching you my friend. Lol

Here I am looking for rain gear and I get this blast from the past😂😂😂 bought the jacket on eBay for like $50

Thanks to your review, Luke, I just rec'd mine; paid $49.95 on eBay. It arrived & was in almost Pristine condition. It is now my go-to rain jacket, it replaces my Marmot Precip which I'll put in the trunk of my car for that just in case situation. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

2021 version is different but just as good!

For those who question the size of the jacket he's holding there... It is size S @5:54 and I guess he's approx 5'6-58"

@TheOutdoorGearReview Do you still use this jacket? How has the waterproofing held up over the years?

I realize this is a bit of an older video but this looks (from your video) to be an amazing light rain jacket, something I'd love to have. However, I go to Amazon and now in 2015 reviews there are quite a few people saying that these are not at all water proof and are soaking through on a regular basis. I wonder if something has changed in their manufacturer or something, but I hesitate to purchase one now thinking something has changed. Thanks for the video though, wish I'd have bought one back in 2013.

I'm looking to put a gear together because I want to start going camping/hiking this year. This jacket looks awesome, great design, and you've done a great review. I'm a female, quite short (1.54 m) and light so I need my equipment to be...well, light. This seems really good. Going to check what colors they have. If not, black is fine.

Thanks a bunch for your reviews, my friend. I am getting into hiking, survival "camping", and just general outdoor fun, and I am making many purchases for equipment based upon your reviews as well as other reputable gear guys. I live in the suburbs of Minneapolis, and our winters (and summers) can be rather extreme now and then, so I am looking forward to doing a lot of 4 season stuff outdoors. Thanks again, Luke. Tim

I just paid 90$ for a new one. Boom. Thank you black friday.

CONGRATULATIONS DESDE LIMA PERU - marmot very good jacket

I have this jacket and I love it!! But when comparing it to other 300-500 dollar jackets, you also have to consider that those have the gore tex pro laminate. Which is way more durable and more waterproof compared to the minalist' packlite gore tex which is of course already extremely waterproof but also why it's cheaper. :)

I make a lot of my own gear and will say a jacket with all those features would take hours to make so $200 dollars seems very fair. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Luke, I'v just picked up a Berghaus paclite jacket half price lol awesome stuff. It's my first propper goretex jacket and so far it's been excellent. Thanks for the vids mate. All the best

Good explanation and details about the jacket!!! Awesome!!!

Any idea on how to fold the hood away behind the collar?

It's nice to have a dedicated hard-shell, pricey yes, but well worth it when the weather gets nasty for extended periods. Good review, bro.

Great review Luke. Looks like a great rain jacket and $200 for a system like that seems about right. Thanks.

Thinking of buying this to pair with my OR down jacket to use while snowboarding.

just ordered one, let see how it goes!

Great review. Great jacket. I landed an ark under 100 used. Be well Luke Craig

Great review. Marmot makes awesome gear. I have their PreCip Rain Jacket that I bought back in 2011 and its still in excellent condition! Best $120 rain gear I've tried out thus far.

Nice review luke... little pricey for my budget. I just went on my first snow backpacking trip in So Cal. It rained for the first mile. Had the marmot precip kept me dry only 60 bucks. If I had the money I would've bought the minimalist. Everything I buy for backpacking is expensive because i'm a XXL. Lucky you luke. Small size much cheaper.

Thx for the review and you look a little bit like Andre Schürrle :D

Thanks Luke, great video. I'll have to keep my eye out for one.

Just got that model today from marmot for 56 dollars what a deal its 230 on bergfruende

can u wear this jacket in the summer for rainy days

Thanks for the thorough review! I'm looking for quality thorough reviews like for women's wear. The minimalist is made for women and men so I'm guessing the features are the same, yes?

impressive jacket with an impressive review.

Nice Vid :) I love these jackes.. just extremely lightweight and waterproof! mine has so ventilation holes under the sleves but it allways kept me dry (maybe a little bit sweaty) Just something to carry with you and completely ignore the elements!

Extremely helpful review, gracias amigo!

Thanks, seen one on sale. Looks like a winner.

I was searching for this kind of review !!! Very detailed 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 I can't find the exact model thought ! There are several models like that and it confuses me. I put this name on google and it shows me the previous model. If you have any link, would be very helpful. Thanks

It is not waterproof, it wets through in a steady downpour. Great as a shell for alpine skiing, though.

Beautiful..a few days ago I bought two Marmot stride jacket and minimalist jacket.. Reasonable prices and beatiful design.. Marmot fuck the world..

I sure like mine. All u said is true.

Would this work well as a winter shell? Over a down coat and layers?

Great review. I'm curious if you have heard of the hunting apparel companies First Lite , Kuiu, Kryptek, or Sitka? They are doing great things and much of there stuff comes in solid colours, not just camo. They are definitely worth checking out and reviewing.

I wish the minimalist jacket for females had the same design. I looked on their website and it misses the top left front pocket, and the right bottom pocket is not as large as the on you have. So sad. Tempted to buy an S size of the male version but it will probably be much too large for my size. Also the website doesn't seem to have it in yellow, which is the color I wanted.

I think the chest pocket is useless since it doesn't have a storm flap like the side pockets and water will get in very easily.

Very very nice indeed.

Strength and honor my mother

Luke do you think this jacket is suited for long rucksack tours, will the shell wear at the rear of the jacket over a period of time?

would you consider keeping to the rated size or sizing up (considering layering up with a shirt and fleece underneath)? Also, since the review was from back in 2014, would you recommend another jacket with similar performance?

I bought a TNF Drizzle jackect today, witch is the equivalent of the Marmot Minimalist. I already love it!

Is this jacket also 100% windproof? Thanks!

Nice review Luke thanks !

*_Thanks_*

Nice jacket! Do you have any suggestions on budget models? Thanks.

Great detailed review, thanks!

Very nice review! How about the adidas terrex icefeather with gore tex pro shell? Thanks from Spain!

great video

How's this jacket holding up?

Hey Luke I liked the review you did here, However have you tried to Goretex jacket and pants? I served in the Marines and we used the woodland camo versions and I loved mine so well that I bought a set. They are warm and will keep you dry in just about any weather. Just wondering?

Looking at one of these or a precip 30 euros difference

How does this compare to the Outdoor Research Helium II? Thanks!

Great Review!

What size was the jacket? and can you please tell us your weight and height ?

Thank you for video great video

How tall are you? I am a woman 170 cm height and I am wondering if size S is not too big for me.

Look like a good fit this time lol

what size did you have for the jacket?

Nice review 100%

Do they make the pants ?

What weather temps does this work in? I am looking for a jacket to handle three season backpacking. Would this work in your opinion?

Dang awesome jacket Luke. Do send me one brother, hahas! ;p

Grear review, love Marmot's PreCip, looks like Marmot does a good job with Gore-Tex also.

What size are you wearing and how tall are you?

$162 on amazon 3xl

I would like to have one...I'm S'porean my height was 1.67cm, what size do you think it may suit me. Please give Ur vlew Bro.

very informative, great review

Just got a brand new one for $80.00

how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

Preety nice jacket with good shape but that marmom logo is to big and make it look like a turistic jacket. Without it it can be easy used as city jacket

Is this better than the Marmot Aegis?

Too bad 2022 is more budget like, no latch, no velcro up, only back cord for hood regulation.

Sorry if I missed it, but how small does this pack up?

Hi Luke, which size is it here? Thanks

Not to sound funny but, those pants your wearing rock.

a bit costly

Just kidding...i got nothing you could wear brother. :( Sorry- Mohammed
