My Marmot Mica is now delaminating after about 4 years of use. Any suggestions for a replacement?
The breathability of the Mica is/was decent. Jacket weighs in at 6.8 oz for a medium. Hoping for a sub-6 oz jacket.

David, if you found the Mica satisfactory there are a large number of comparable PU coated rain coats in the 5-8 ounce range. As mentioned in the article Anna was kind enough to cite, I favor the Rab Pulse due to the large, adjustable hood.
When someone says breathable rain jacket, I tend to think of event, it's various knockoffs, and Gore Active shell. My all-time favorite rain coat, the Haglofs Ozo, lives on in the Haglofs Gram Comp, which is active shell and quite light.
