I've used the Marmot (Ether) DriClime jacket for nearly 15 years on mainly multi-pitch routes from Yosemite and the Sierra to the Dolomites. It appears to have been discontinued, and I'm looking for suggestions on a comparable replacement jacket. Ideally, the replacement jacket would pack down to the same size, or smaller, shed wind, and have some insulating feature (fleece lining or fill). Thanks for any tips and/or suggestions.

Look at the Rab Vapour Rise line.

I’m with you.  I have used Marmot Driclime for over 20 years in different versions. It is such a versatile piece of kit.  I was on the hunt last week for Driclime for my boys. It stinks that Marmot is discontinuing such a great piece.

Agreed. My first one was "ripped off" by my son after using it for 5 years.  I replaced it with the hooded version which I've had for 8 years or so. Bought my wife one about 5 years ago. Very sad to see it go. It is/was the perfect climbing/hiking/biking companion for cool weather.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
