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

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
Extremely helpful review, gracias amigo!
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 Luke, great video. I'll have to keep my eye out for one.
Sounds like a plan brother.
- Luke
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
That's fantastic Stephen.
I hope it treats you well for years to come.
Take care of yourself.
- Luke
Great review. Great jacket. I landed an ark under 100 used.
Be well Luke

Nice review Luke thanks !
Thinking of buying this to pair with my OR down jacket to use while snowboarding.
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.
Good explanation and details about the jacket!!! Awesome!!!
Thanks, seen one on sale. Looks like a winner.
impressive jacket with an impressive review.
Great detailed review, thanks!
Thank you Beaker! :)
- Luke
Great Review!
just ordered one, let see how it goes!
Nice jacket! Do you have any suggestions on budget models? Thanks.
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.
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!
Thanks Niklas.
- Luke
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?
@TheOutdoorGearReview Do you still use this jacket? How has the waterproofing held up over the years?
Yeah I'd like to know
Thx for the review and you look a little bit like Andre Schürrle :D
Great review Luke. Looks like a great rain jacket and $200 for a system like that seems about right. Thanks.
Agreed!
Be well Opal.
- Luke
CONGRATULATIONS DESDE LIMA PERU - marmot very good jacket
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.
Thank you Rich.
- Luke
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?
Any idea on how to fold the hood away behind the collar?
Here I am looking for rain gear and I get this blast from the past😂😂😂 bought the jacket on eBay for like $50
I make a lot of my own gear and will say a jacket with all those features would take hours to make so $200 dollars seems very fair. Thanks for sharing.
You make a lot of your own gear? I'd love to hear more about this.
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview I have made a fleece pullover, soft shell jacket, Wool pullover hoodie, underquilt for a hammock, Nylon hunting pants. If you want you can checkout my channel and you can see some of the items I have made.
Very very nice indeed.
I was searching for this kind of review !!!
Very detailed 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
I can't find the exact model thought !
There are several models like that and it confuses me.
I put this name on google and it shows me the previous model.
If you have any link, would be very helpful.
Thanks
Nice review luke... little pricey for my budget. I just went on my first snow backpacking trip in So Cal. It rained for the first mile. Had the marmot precip kept me dry only 60 bucks. If I had the money I would've bought the minimalist. Everything I buy for backpacking is expensive because i'm a XXL. Lucky you luke. Small size much cheaper.
Thanks Jason.
Be well my brother.
- Luke
Nice review 100%
Thank you for video great video
jjamoako You're welcome my friend.
Take care.
- Luke
I just paid 90$ for a new one. Boom. Thank you black friday.
Just got a black for 56 dollars straight from.marmot boom
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. :)
the 3 layer Gore tex is more durable, thus more waterproof if you go on an expedition for a couple of months
@@layne4376 how long , in your extensive experience, would a jacket like this Marmot minimalist last in terms of waterproof durability?
Very nice review! How about the adidas terrex icefeather with gore tex pro shell? Thanks from Spain!
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?
Hey there Joseph, I have tried the Gore-Tex and I actually have a video on them. Heavy and hell but absolutely awesome.
Take care of yourself my friend.
- Luke
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"
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?
great video
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.
Dang right brother.
Take care of yourself.
- Luke
This is a great jacket had mine for about 8 years,a little too warm in summer,but it kept its water proof for about 4 years before I applied the waterproof spray.it still going.great purchase
2021 version is different but just as good!
I bought a TNF Drizzle jackect today, witch is the equivalent of the Marmot Minimalist. I already love it!
Dang awesome jacket Luke. Do send me one brother, hahas! ;p
Haha Let's trade, what ya got?
- Luke
Look like a good fit this time lol
How does this compare to the Outdoor Research Helium II? Thanks!
Just got that model today from marmot for 56 dollars what a deal its 230 on bergfruende
Would this work well as a winter shell? Over a down coat and layers?
Yes. No reason it wouldnt
*_Thanks_*
I sure like mine. All u said is true.
what size did you have for the jacket?
What size was the jacket? and can you please tell us your weight and height ?
What size are you wearing and how tall are you?
Luke here with the outdoor boy youtube channel
very informative, great review
can u wear this jacket in the summer for rainy days
Do they make the pants ?
Beautiful..a few days ago I bought two Marmot stride jacket and minimalist jacket..
Reasonable prices and beatiful design..
Marmot fuck the world..
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.
What weather temps does this work in? I am looking for a jacket to handle three season backpacking. Would this work in your opinion?
***** I've used in most weather situations. Summer nights down to -12 F. Rain, snow, wind, and freezing rain.
It's a great jacket.
- Luke
How's this jacket holding up?
How tall are you? I am a woman 170 cm height and I am wondering if size S is not too big for me.
Strength and honor my mother
Noah Sandgren Strength and Honor to your mother as well! haha
- Luke
+TheOutdoorGearReview this looks awesome but here in Netherlad it can rain, and i mean RAIN a lot and it can be damm cold, so if i want toe juse it fore my cycle fore let say 1 hour.
Can it be still usefull and is there a waterproof trouser with it. ???
Is this jacket also 100% windproof? Thanks!
It is. I live in Vancouver and we get more rain than any other type of weather. Along with that comes wind. This jacket is not warm so if its chilly, layer up underneath and this jacket will keep you dry. I also own the rain pants. They work just as well.
It is not waterproof, it wets through in a steady downpour. Great as a shell for alpine skiing, though.
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.
Sorry if I missed it, but how small does this pack up?
It folds up reasonably well.
I don't believe I showed that in the video.
If you need me to I can shoot a companion video for you.
- Luke
TheOutdoorGearReview That would be awesome. Thank you.
how tall are you and how much do you weigh?
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.
Looking at one of these or a precip 30 euros difference
Grear review, love Marmot's PreCip, looks like Marmot does a good job with Gore-Tex also.
They definitely do. Both are terrific!
- Luke
Is this better than the Marmot Aegis?
I haven't actually seen the Aegis so I can't say.
- Luke
Hi Luke,
which size is it here?
Thanks
+ich hci Medium my friend. - Luke
You said its small in the video, so which is it
What's your height and weight? Im debating between medium or large. Im 5'11, 185lbs
Just got a brand new one for $80.00
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
Not to sound funny but, those pants your wearing rock.
They are the best pants I have ever had... EVER!
- Luke
$162 on amazon 3xl
a bit costly
Too bad 2022 is more budget like, no latch, no velcro up, only back cord for hood regulation.
Just kidding...i got nothing you could wear brother. :( Sorry- Mohammed
Hahahaha....Fair enough. hahaaha
