Tried this on as soon as it came and it fit great. Went out in light rain a couple of times and it kept me dry. Went for 30 minute walk in moderate rain with a few minutes of heavier rain mixed and it simply fails as a rain jacket. Arms, shoulders and upper chest were all soaked. The fabric appeared "wetted out" in all of those areas. Good thing I didn't rely on it for a longer hike in cooler temperatures. Disappointed in this jacket and Marmot's quality control. Would not recommend unless you are looking for something to keep the wind and light drizzle off of you. If you want it for the rain, prepare to be disappointed.
Would recommend: No

Might fall apart I previously owned the super mica jacket which was great except the liner fell apart. The same thing happened with my brothers jacket. I have a feeling the same problem will happen with the Mika jacket which is an older version but who knows? I only bought this as a cheap back up. I would not rely on it. I believe that both versions were discontinued by the manufacture because they kept falling apart. Again, I only bought this jacket because it was very cheap.
Pros:
- Very light and very cheap on this website
Cons:
- it will probably fall apart
Would recommend: No

I'm 5'10 170 LB, 60 yrs old I'm not an athletic build but I'm slim. Bought a medium. Fits well. Extremely light weight and packable. Absolutely a warm weather rain jacket. Includes all the standard features of a technical jacket.
Cons:
- Pricey but not when deeply discounted
Best Used for:
- all warm weather activities
Would recommend: Yes

While I haven't yet given this jacket a full "workout", it fits much better than its predecessor (the Nano), which had sleeves way too long while being almost too thin at the chest. And a lot stiffer material and very boring looks-wise (solid black). This new Mica fits better, looks better (3 colors), and feels lighter and more flexible. Though the Nano had a "Goretex shell, I can't say it breathed very well unless the zip vents were fully open.
As soon as the rain hits I'll revise this review with more info, especially concerning breathability (no vents in this model) and durability.
Would recommend: Yes
