Marmot nano and stoic wraith
Marmot nano is a gortex paclite shell for 8 oz in medium. Very basic, 2 pockets, no pit zips (bummer), but gets the job done and seems a bit more durable than the mica. As for wind shirt, I'...

Thanks
Good to know. Darn I wish sprint aquatics would start selling their nylon mesh slippers again. Maybe I'll do my own myog experimenting here as well.
