Marmot Kingpin Softshell Jacket - Men's
Available Colors / Styles
Rub the 4:00-a.m. haze from your eyes and then toss on your Marmot Men's Kingpin Softshell jacket before you head out for a few dawn-patrol ski laps in the backcountry. From the breathable softshell body fabric to the massive core vents and flexible Angel Wing construction, this jacket helps you reap deep powder stashes in comfort. Sneak in one last lap before the sun rises, stuff your skins in the chest pockets, and slide back to the car so you can be somewhat on-time for your ever-annoying 'job.'
- M2 Softshell fabric has a construction that's highly breathable and resistant to wind and water so you stay dry
- Polartec Powershield lining offers ample warmth without the weight or bulk of synthetic insulation
- Core Venting Pack Pockets help exchange the hot air inside your jacket with cool air outside and give you a place to quickly store your skins
- Angel-Wing Movement uses a gusseted design to give you a wide range of motion in the arms and shoulders
- Water-resistant main zippers and accessory pocket zippers keep the elements from sneaking in
Bottom Line: The Kingpin calls the shots on the hill.

This jacket is perfect for aerobic winter activity- I love it. The Marmot M1,2,3 system is really worth investment on each level if you are a winter "train at any cost" kind of person. (I am) I also wore it snowboarding in JHMR end of season and it kept me warm but sweat free and I had it completely zipped up the whole time from base to summit. I bought and planned on wearing this specifically for running in sub-zero temps, but this winter was down right balmy. I have one irrational complaint- the material on the inside of all Marmot soft shells has a soft "velvety" feel, this makes it perfect for performance poly blend layering- it also has an athletic fit- this makes it hard to just throw over a flannel. Of course this jacket is a performer- so my complaint is like whining about my Lamborgini Diablo's inability to haul the kids to soccer. That being said, I found this on my coat hook more than any other jacket that I own regardless of my plans (cold weather running) for it- this jacket just filled so many applications. Worth Every Penny.
I really like the clean looks of this jacket. I would be using
I really like the clean looks of this jacket.
I would be using it as my main wintertime shell.
My Q. are:
- Is there a drawcord at the hem ,
and one a bit higher up.
(where the powder skirt is usually mounted)
- Is there a rigid or wire supported visor on the hood?
- What sort of lining is on the inside?
Micro fleece/Dri-clime ?
Thanks,
Erik

There is only a drawcord at the hem, not one for a powder skirt or where it would be. The hood is laminated, but no wire. The lining is microfleece with driclime around the mouth area. It's a great jacket, I'd highly recommend it. If I didn't already have the Stoic Welder, this one would've been in my closet a long time ago.
