From early season ski tours to long alpine climbs, the Marmot Men’s Kingpin Softshell Jacket delivers total windproof protection while remaining highly breathable and water resistant. The stretchy shell is backed by a soft micro-fleece lining to add warmth and comfort, and the underarm PitZips dump extra heat after a long ridge climb. Marmot’s Angel Wing Movement gussets ensure the jacket doesn’t ride up when you swing your ice tools, and the angled hand pockets are accessible with a pack on.

Bottom Line: The reigning leader in stretchy, windproof performance.

Great for the money

I got this jacket for early/late season physical activity in Summit Co. I have not been disappointed. It breaths very well, and keeps me dry in wet conditions. The fleece lining is softer than other jackets I've had on. The fit is athletic, and it stays put while moving around. The hood accepts my ski helmet, but there isnt a lot of room. Early/late season and nice day jackets don't see the hood up often anyway.

I wear this with an ice breaker base and 100 weight fleece, and never had a problem being too warm on the ski tracks. If i do start to warm up, the pit zips are huge and dump heat right away.

Not the most technical soft shell, but I found it for $70 on a N.W.O.T. deal. I don't depend on soft shells to be super technical, that's why we have hard shells.

Great softshell...

I wore this for Spring skiing in Breck and it was great. It was layered over a thin baselayer and breathed as expected.

The only thing I'd add is another pocket on the chest or sleeve.
