Marmot Gunsight Component Jacket - Men's - 2008 BCS

I bought this jacket for snowboarding in Tahoe and it performed great. Weather was cold and windy (in the teens) and I stayed toasty with only a light long sleeve layer on underneath. I took a few spills in the snow and I was perfectly dry. The quality is really good and there are ton of bells and whistles (loads of pockets). The shell material is very thick and seems like it will be very durable.

Now for the downsides. The jacket is kind of puffy with the insulation layer on underneath and the shell by itself is a little big on it's own. Also, snow sticks to the the shell material, which is canvas like a Carhartt jacket.

If warmth and durability are important, this jacket is for you. If you're looking for a lightweight, athletic cut, technical shell, you might want to look elsewhere.

I got this coat two or three weeks and have since come to question how I lived without it. It totally stops all the wind that hits it, and water beads off of it like I've never seen before. I was working outdoors in the rain and snow the weekend after I got it, and the people I was with all had north face jackets and after about 7 hrs in those conditions it looked like their coats were soaked through, i'm sure they weren't, but my coat looked like it wasn't even raining. It's made me a Marmot believer.

I am a skier in WY and I also ranch - This jacket held up in the 30 below weather riding a horse all day... now if only they made boots that could keep my feet warm warm like this coat did my body. Best coat I have ever owned hands down.

Incredible Jacket! Wind proof - Water proof - Cold proof. For as warm as it is, it's incredibly light. Design offers great arm-mobility. Happy with the construction - they didn't cut any corners. Pockets are well placed and warm.

Just so you know... the liner of the shell, not the removable liner, is red. And unlike the picture shown on bc the main zipper of the shell is also red. I didn't realize this before receiving it but I actually like it better this way.

I just got this jacket for a ski trip I'm going on in January. It's single digits in the mornings right now in Kansas City and this thing it ultra warm with only a long sleeved Tee on underneath. The liner in thinner/lighter than expected, although it is warm, and they could've put some sort of insulation size description in the "insulation" details. I don't think this would have changed my decision to purchase though. The jacket seems to be of very high quality and my hopes are high that it will last and be a great jacket for a long time. Once I put it through the test on the slopes I'll give another review.

Doesn't look "high tech" (canvas shell), but very windproof and waterproof (so far). Liner is thin, but warm...I'd prefer liner to be a little warmer. Design detail (zippers, pickets, hood, powder skirt, etc.) is very good. Good fit (Large-I'm 6' 190 lbs), not restrictive or bulky. Long in the body...almost like parka (that's a good thing!).Colors are a little duller than shown online.

Bottom line, this is a very good jacket. Well made...outer shell should hold up very well over time.
