Marmot Photon Jacket - Men's - 2007 BCS

I originally ordered the radon red, had to return it; that's pink my friend.
The pitzips really are about 6", very tiny.
It's hard to find a softshell with an attached helmet-compatible hood (climbing helmet, not sure about ski helmet) and pitzips.
This isn't the perfect jacket (if it had better colors and longer pitzips it'd be close!), but you can't find anything cheaper with the same features.
For a budget, it's a good bet. If you want killer stuff with better feautres, get ready to shell out $300.

Just an FYI, Radon Red = Magenta.

I don't feel quite as manly wearing this as my other Marmot jackets (I've got 3 of em) but it is a very nice jacket. Warm and windproof, now I just gotta figure out a way to stop the other guys from laughing at me. Any Ideas? I am 6'2" 165lbs. The L jacket fits well, a little short for my gangly monkey arms, but every jacket always is. It could be cut a little more athletic for us skinny guys, but I'd say for the majority of the population it would fit true to size.

I got this jacket thinking it could replace a few of my other ones so I could cut some clutter. I loved the features, especially that it was a soft shell with a hood. However, it was extremely small. I'm 6'3" and an athletic 245 and I can usually pull off a large, which is what I ordered, but this one like a small on me, I couldn't even put it on really. I was really bummed that I had to send it back, it looked like we could have had a great relationship.
