Where to buy Gore-Tex Minimalist Pro Marmot Jacket:
REI - Men's
Backcountry - Men's

Backcountry - Women's
True to form, Marmot’s Minimalist Pro is built to take full advantage of all the benefits Gore-Tex has to offer. This waterproof defender is a refuge in harsh weather conditions, breathes well when you’re working hard, and holds up well against the sharp and pointy bits of the outdoors. Our only criticism is that Marmot may be taking the minimalism thing a step too far, but without keeping weight to a minimum.
As far as technical shells go, the Gore-Tex Minimalist Pro is inexpensive. But, with this said, you don’t get much more than a wind and waterproof layer.
Other features are decidedly sparse, so don’t expect many pockets, powder skirts, or other fancy amenities. All told the Minimalist Pro is a showcase of all the best attributes of Gore-Tex in a simple, compact package.
Things we like:
-
Streamlined jacket that can do everything -
Gore-Tex standard of waterproofing, wind-resistance, and breathability
Things we don't like:
-
Not very light -
Doesn’t offer much aside from keeping you dry
