I am a hillwalker with blackrock hillwalking club in cork. We go on the hills every weekend in the munster area. i received a marmot minimalist gortex jacket some time ago to test on the hills.<br />
The feel & fit of jacket is very comfortable, the fabric is very light, the length is just right & stayed put & didn't ride up.<br />
The hood is very adjustable & stays put in the wind, but it moves with you when you turn your face.<br />
Fabric is breathable & pit zips are great.<br />
I love the waterproof zips & pit zips.<br />
Overall i love the jacket, it does what its supposed to do & i feel it is good value for money.<br />
I think i would give it 4 out of five. I asked for a medium size but i think it is big fitting as i have loads of room. I should have asked for a small size. Thats the only fault & its mainly my fault.<br />
