My Dri-Clime jacket is probably the most versatile item of clothing I own..


Marmot makes some really nice stuff, I was lucky to snag a jacket on sale at REI and a nice fleece vest from Sierra Trading Post. The Dri-Clime Jacket looks great, however the guys sure got the good colors!

Living in the PNW I pretty much keep a three layered approach to clothing in my suv year round. I Tweak it some between the seasons but not all that much. With the fleece and technical fabrics they really don’t take up much space and it could save your life.
