You may be heading to an exotic resort for a week, or just getting in a few turns on the local hill before work; either way, the Marmot Women's Portillo Jacket keeps you warm and dry in cosmopolitan style. The Portillo’s waterproof breathable MemBrain shell and fully taped seams can handle high-altitude storms without a problem; Thermacore insulation throughout wards off the chill on those early morning runs.

  • Zip-off storm hood includes a laminated brim for extra protection
  • Elastic drawcord hem and zip-off powder skirt keep out drafts and ward off snow invasions
  • Microfleece internal cuffs feel soft and warm against your wrists, and snuggle under the cuffs of your gloves
  • Internal pockets for sunglasses, media, and goggles help you stay organized on the slopes
  • Angel Wing Movement gussets ensure the jacket doesn’t ride up when you’re reaching for a pole plant

Bottom Line: Turn heads no matter where you carve turns.

On the town, definitely. On the hill? Not so much.

The biggest pro: It's a great looking jacket, and you'll look great in it. If you live in a colder climate, and you're looking for something incredibly warm yet stylish, the Portillo is definitely the way to go. With a zip off powder skirt, it's incredibly practical for everyday wear.
Also to love: the fitting. Not only is it incredibly feminine, but I'm long waisted and long armed, and the torso and sleeve lengths are perfect. Last but not least, the quality construction is superior for the price point.
So what's not to love? As other reviewers have mentioned, the lack of pit zips is pretty disappointing. Without them, the jacket is basically unbearable for skiing in anything other than the coldest of conditions. The one time I wore it on the hill, I was down to only a t-shirt underneath after the first run. It was snowing, and I was literally sweating. Finally, if you're looking for a helmet compatible hood, you won't find it here. It is removable, but on windy snow days, you're gonna miss that extra protection.
Overall, I'd wear the Portillo around town on the super cold days, but for the hill it just lacks the versatility I'm looking for in a ski jacket.

Awesome jacket

Love love love... super comfortable and warm. Love the fleece around the neck and wrists for extra warmth. Wore this skiing twice so far, 1 time in CO at 20*, 1 time in the Poconos at 40*.... very warm with layers and comfortable even at 40 with one base layer. So many pockets too! (3 zip, 1 open, 1 snap)
Only drawbacks: no pit zips and it wasn't as fitted as I would prefer. I got a small, and a xsmall would have been more fitted, but then no room for layers. I'm pretty picky though, so overall I really do love this jacket!!!
PS- 1 pocket for shades/goggles on the inside, but super noticeable if you utilize it; see pic...

Does this item have the women-specific fit that the newest Marmot

Does this item have the women-specific fit that the newest Marmot jackets have (i.e., flares out at hips)? Is the Portillo a softshell? what does the breathability rating mean?

Yes, this does have the women-specific fit. The Portillois not a softshell but the material is both waterproof and breathability. I'm not sure about the breathability rating though, sorry!

tried on but didn't buy

By:

because no pit zips. also, the only (addt'l) external pocket is the one up near shoulder - not as useful as further down on sleeve would be. but, would have bought if it had the venting because it was the most comfortable, lightweight (waterproof, insulated) jacket I've tried. AND the arms were the right length for me (5'1"+) sz med. when all other jacket arms are too long/bunch up.

Light Weight

By:

I loved this jacket since the second i put it on. It is super light weight, warm on the inside and the powder skirt is the perfect length. I really like the fleece cuffs which keep my hands warm and i like the waterproof zippers. Most of all i like how it doesn't feel as stiff as a regular snow jacket.

This jacket has rapidly become one of my favorites. The jacket is cut to Marmot's new "women-specific" fit which is both flattering and practical on the hill. It is long enough to avoid any chilly gaps between my jackets and pants, no matter what direction I move in. Marmot has also placed fleece inside the cuffs and around the neck of the jacket. This is perfect on those freezing cold days when ducking into you jacket collar is the only way to stave off the cold. The hood is also large enough to fit over my helmet comfortably. The only downfall is the lack of venting.
