Unlike most canoe trippers I know, I began by going light, but as years passed my load got heavier and heavier. Currently, spending the winter reverting back. No knife or hatchet/saw though. I consider these essentials. Great post, and happens to correspond with my renewed commitment to go light.

I've had it since probably '98, and the zipper gave out last year. I sent it in to Marmot and they replaced the zipper with no questions asked. I'm sure they would have given me a new one if I had wanted it. They're a stand-up company that builds the best coat. I love my Driclime.

We'd cut down our gear considerably from when we paddled the Mississippi River, and we were already going fairly light. More gear = more hassles. Oh yeah, I live in my Marmot Driclime windshirt at least 10 months of the year. It's by far my most-used piece of gear, and holding up strong for over 9 years now. Take care, -John I like where you’re coming from with this Bryan. We’d cut down our gear considerably from when we paddled the Mississippi River, and we were already going fairly light.

If it worked, it would become standard gear in my pack (My Gear List).
