Does not breathe well
pavp532136

I use this for rain/wind protection on light hiking. It's more than adequate for that but it does not breathe well. Opening armpit zips helps with back/sides but doesn't do anything for shoulder perspiration. If the weather never goes to rain, just stays very humid, the fabric breathability seems to become even worse - and it makes me more wet than going without the jacket.

After a few days of owning it, I decided to try this jacket out on the slopes. It kept me nice and dry and the wind out while I was snowboarding in ~30 degree temps. With a light puff jacket underneath, I was burning up. I do wish it had a chest or internal pocket. The fit is great too. I'm 5'5 & 130lb, and small fits perfectly. I'm very glad I got the last small "Bright Grass".

Fantastic shell! It’s kept me dry in snow and rain from Texas to the AT. It’s lightweight, breathable, and the pit zips keep the sweat from hanging around. The hood fits over a climbing helmet perfectly. My only complaints are the cuffs are a little hard to cinch down, and the drawstrings on the hood can be hard to use with gloves on. Plus, the arm pocket is useless. I would have preferred a chest pocket, or one on the interior of the jacket. I’m 6’3” and 180 pounds, and the large fits me wonderfully.

I am an OCD researcher when it comes to gear. I settled on this jacket over the Arc'teryx Alpha SL, Marmot Nano, and Stoic Vaporshell. This was the only jacket thas was under a pound, had pit zips, and pockets. The Stoic has no pockets or pit zips, the Arc'teryx has pockets but no pit zips, and the Nano also has no pit zips.
I have recently tested it on a 4 day trek around Catalina Island, and it did awesome! The fabric is super breathable which was almost a down fall. We had super high winds and this is definitely not a wind stopper, but it will keep you dry.
Overall, for the price and features, you can't beat it!
Excellent Rain Shell

Keeps you dry, and the pit zips provide great ventilation. My only gripe would be that it doesn't stow in its own pocket, but, you can fold it and roll it up into the hood, as demonstrated in one of the other reviews. Fits well,also. Not to boxy or baggy.

Hello BC community,
I like to ski tour in softshell and bring a waterproof layer with me. I'm between the Mountain Hardwear Cohesion jacket and the Marmot Aegis. Does anyone hold an opinion on which might be better for such a purpose? Thanks!
Jeff Blackston
Member since
David,
Either of these shells will be a perfect waterproof layer to keep in the pack in the case of inclement weather. They both weight about the same and are super packable. I have the MH Stretch Cohesion in DryQ Core, and absolutely love it. For me the fit is spot on. I'm 6 185 and the Large is perfect. I think the Cohesion is about a half inch to an inch longer in length, and features a nice athletic cut. Maybe it comes down to fit, as they both are very similar for the purpose you need.
A Great All Around Jacket

This has become my everyday jacket and I really can't find anything wrong with it. Well, maybe if they used velcro strips instead of those little squares on the cuffs... In all honesty this jacket does breathe well and does keep the snow off. Can there be improvements? Sure, longer pit zips and internal pockets, but, for the price, it's probably one of the best values around.

Fatigue Color

Member since
Just got the jacket in Fatigue. Color is more of a Hunter Green than a Military OD Green as I had expected from the "Fatigue" name. I am returning it for Black.
Other than the color, this jacket looks great. Material, build, and features are top-quality. Very thin and super-lightweight.

Check out the sizing chart just below the price. Your best bet will be to measure your chest and waist and go with that. I have found Marmot's sizing to be pretty accurate.
Still cool!

I love the jacket and it's actually breathable. Not just scientifically breathable. Water does soak the dri-clime cuffs. Still cool! Check out my youtube video below.

Does this jacket have a lining on the inside that keeps that cold clammy feeling off your skin?
Arthur Debowski
Member since
There is a DriClime lined collar and cuffs on this jacket but the main torso does not have any sort of hanging liner to keep that feeling off your skin. It does however have great breathability which should keep that feeling from developing in the first place.

The MemBrain Strata material is super breathable, much more so than Paclite jackets that I've owned. Very light weight and packs small, huge front pockets and underarm vents, great arm movement and a comfortable collar. It's pretty baggy around the waist but it still hangs well. It would be nice to have an inner pocket since it only has the two fronts and a shoulder pocket. Worth spending the extra bucks on this one if you're also looking at the PreCip.
Great Jacket

I am six foot one and weigh 190 and the large fits well. The length of both the sleeves and the body are good. The belly portion of the jacket could handle a bit of a belly, but the extra fabric does not bother me much since I will not be trying to go fast on skis or on a bike. So far I have been out running and played golf in the jacket and both activities were great. I've had it in the rain and it was of course fine in that. Breathability is my larger concern and this seems to do a fine job. Pocket on the upper arm is a bit useless and I would prefer a chest pocket. Overall a great coat.

Love the jacket. I'm 6'2" 205lbs and the Large fits great.
Sleeves are long enough and so is the overall length on the jacket. The pockets are nice and deep and the ability to roll the hood up is a nice addition. I loved this jacket so much I got my fiance the same jacket but in women's for her.
