The hydrophobic Gore-Tex membrane contains over 9 billion pores per square inch to reduce internal moisture, and the Paclite layer regulates temperature while keeping weight to a bare minimum. The Minimalist jacket also features fully taped seams to prevent leaks, a storm flap to protect the front zipper, and an attached hood that adjusts for better facial coverage. If interior heat should begin to build up, simply open the Pitzips—zippered ventilation openings under the arms—to increase air flow. Your arms will retain full mobility through it all, thanks to the built-in Angel-Wing Movement. ## Images ![MARMOT Men's Minimalist Lightweight Waterproof Rain Jacket - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wCwaLTvuL.jpg) ![MARMOT Men's Minimalist Lightweight Waterproof Rain Jacket - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lPt5bzySL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this color is awesome, nice clean look and the jacket looks good ... *by A***E on April 17, 2018* First, this color is awesome, nice clean look and the jacket looks good on as well.I'm a 6'3" tall guy who tips the scale at 260 which means that, I'm always concerned about how something is going to fit and if it's going to be too hot for me to wear while I'm being active. This jacket seems to have found the sweet spot. It blocks wind and rain but breathes well enough (with pit zips) to have the layers underneath control the temperature that I'm at and none of that, frantic sweaty feeling where you feel like you're trapped inside a rapidly heating plastic bag.I bought XXL and it fits well. Sleeves come down a bit past my wrist and falls below my belt line front and back. The front pocket is roomy enough that carrying a cell phone in it doesn't feel awkward and roomy enough to layer underneath it. No loop inside the jacket for hook hanging, but the hood seems to work well enough for that to me.Things I'd think about if I were comparing? The hood doesn't stow, is that going to be important to you? Just the three pockets and no insulation of any kind, this is a simple rain/wind shell. It will do that really well for you, but if you run cold, the opposite problem that I have, I might think about something that has a bit more padding of some kind built in.Only complaint so far? I think that the velcro that allows you to narrow the sleeve opening is a bit underpowered, but that's a good trade off for lower weight and ease in stuffing into a bag.Easily the best, simple, rainjacket I've owned in terms of kickin' arse in the rain while looking good. Very happy with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best rain jacket I've ever owned *by T***Y on January 3, 2017* Best rain jacket I've ever owned. I was reading reviews of guys having zero problems with theirs for 10 years. I hope to have many dry years in this thing. It has a lot more room in it than I anticipated, but It leaves extra space for layers which are a must. I love this Jacket and never leave home without it.5 Year Update: This thing is a tank. I have some seams that are starting to come away from the gortex backing, maybe I can send it in to Marmot to fix it up a bit, but it's still 100% waterproof. I get compliments on the casual nature of the jacket from my friends who are into gear and I got a real nice compliment from a guy at work who was asking for recommendations on a rain jacket. "Your black one is awesome, I want something like that." So $150/5 years is $30/year of use. Definitely money well spent. I truly believe I can get another 5 out of this bad boy. This thing has been packed into small bags, in torrential downpours, up and down mountains and on hunting trips through the brush. Goes with me everywhere. Love this jacket. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great jacket *by J***R on May 17, 2019* I have had one of these jackets for many years. It had saved me many times. It is great by itself, or over a fleece vest or jacket when it is really cold (Texas weather mind you). in my opinion it is water proof and wind proof. However, I made the mistake of leaving it in the trunk of my car for several years and our Texas heat did a number on the seam tape and liners. Then, I washed it in the washer and the tape and liner disintegrated! What a mess. So, I have purchased a new one and promise to treat it better. If you want a good, quality rain/wind jacket, this is the one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2654534-marmot-mens-minimalist-lightweight-waterproof-rain-jacket](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/2654534-marmot-mens-minimalist-lightweight-waterproof-rain-jacket) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
