Marmot Back Bowl Softshell Jacket - Men's - 2009 BCS

Esta chaqueta me ha dejado impresionado.Yo creia que no era muy caliente pero he esquiado en Spain a -10C y no he pasado frio ninguno y ademas las condiciones meteorologicas eran muy adversas ya que habia una gran ventisca.
Es totalmente impermeable ya que con la ventisca no me entro nada de agua.
En una categoria del 1 al 10 le doy un 9 alto.

I've always been impressed with Marmot, and this is no exception. Quality stitching, seams, zippers, etc.

Pros:
There are so many pockets on this jacket I need a map just to keep track of my belongings. The two front pockets are actually an access to the whole front compartment between the outer shell and inner lining. At first I thought this was a quality oversight, but this allows me to store an extra base-layer or balaclava, instead of trying to cram it into a smaller pocket. My typical ski kit is: MP3 player, balaclava, cell phone, flask, keys, money/credit, smokes; and all have their respective storage place.

The hood is very adjustable and comfortable; I do not wear a helmet, so as far as that goes I can not comment.

This jacket is very comfortable but not warm; hence the designation soft-shell.
I am typical medium (5'8" - 165lbs), and this medium shell fits nice and loose without being baggy. I wear an under armour base, a Marmot power-stretch fleece and am very comfortable here in the mid-west even in 15-20F temps. Any colder and I just add another loose base-layer that I have stored in my pocket.
I never feel restrictive even in full dress and all pockets filled.

Windstopper is very effective and have skied in 12F with blowing snow guns freezing water on my jacket; boderline comfortable to getting chilly.

Nice high and roomy collar with soft lining feels good when you want to tuck your chin down for a while.

When strangers compliment you on your jacket, you know you did good.

Cons:
Limited colors, but I do like the limestone, though it is more a dirty white than the crisp white I see on my monitor. The left sleeve pocket graphic surround is actually silver on my jacket, but no biggie.

An extra storage pocket in the inside rear would have been the icing on the cake to store the powder skirt when removed.

A bit pricey, but I saved $100.00 bucks by waiting for deals to be offered, and was lucky my size was in stock.
