Marmot Troll Wall Jacket - Men's

Great fit, leaves plenty of room for layering...unlike some shells. The fabric is also a really heavy duty version of the Pro Shell, which is nice if your using this for skiing or climbing. I love how burly this jackets front zipper is, along with the flap that covers it.(really keeps the cold out) The neck is also nice and high so you can tuck your face up to your goggles...when your standing still in cold/windy conditions.
Its very similar in fit to the Exum....while it definitely is heavier duty in regards to the fabric, and also comes with a powder skirt which is essential for those deep days.
All in all I would say this is the best shell Marmot has to offer....and would have no problem saying it is on par with the best out there today. (Arteryx, Westcomb, and Peak Performance)

Im 6'6" and this jacket fits me great on the sleeves, nice length and with enough space to get several layers when going skiing, i got the Bonfire color, its great for using on a casual day and then use it for outdoor activities on the weekend
But no liner, fleece or anything else inside.
ill post more if i take it kayaking later on

I love this jacket. It fits great, it is designed great, and it looks great. I have only used it skiing so far, and some small hikes, but it destroyed the wind and light rain I put it through. I really like how the chin guard is lined, and how high up the neck zips to keep me warm when it is windy. I am 6'4" and 195 lbs, with 37" arms, and I got the XL. It has PLENTY of space for a down coat or other layers underneath and has perfect sleeve length. The large would have fit a little tighter, but I wanted longer sleeves, and layering ability.

I got the bonfire color and it is great, not too bright, just right. Love this Jacket. I try to find excuses to wear it whenever I can.

Not quite as slim or as light as Marmot's Exum jacket, but I'd prefer this as a cool-to-cold weather, all-mountain jacket, thanks to the slightly burlier fabric throughout, the slightly roomier fit, and the zip-out snow skirt. I'm 6'2"/170 and the medium is a good fit, with plenty of room for winter layers. It is a bit roomier than I'd like for a casual, mild-weather jacket though. I've had no problems with the zipper, which slides very well, thanks. The only issue I have with it is that the hood adjustment cords don't store better: the ends of them, when the hood is pulled down a bit, dangle all over the place. A very minor issue though for an otherwise excellent shell. Nice job on this one Marmot!

Bought this at end of last season and finally got to put it to use last weekend at Mammoth MTN,CA. From 3 days of near blizzard conditions(20+ mph winds and 20 degrees)to 2 days of gorgeous weather, this shell hits the mark. I like the slimmer more athletic cut and just layered up underneath ie. 2 base layers and a fleece pullover during the 20+ mile/hr winds and heavy snow ( I am 6'1" and 195 lbs and wear a large). The best part was the perfect size hood that easily pulled over my helmet and covers your face all the way up to your goggles if needed. I was a little leary when I first received as it is very lightweight, but this goretex shell is going to make this a perfect jacket from cold winter skiing to spring conditions.

This is one of the finest shells out there. It's cut roomy for layering. For me, in size small, a little too roomy; it would benefit from a drawcord adjustment in the torso, or just a slimmer cut. As with all Marmot gear the materials and workmanship are excellent. Great hood, Gore Tex Pro Shell is very nice; I like it better than XPR, but only because it's lighter, and this is a light shell. XPR is denser and tougher. The great thing about the Troll Wall is that it's usable for various activities; not just climbing. I have an Arc'Teryx Alpha SV (XPR), and it's ultra tough; great for climbing, but not much else. The Troll Wall will no doubt do it all; the removable snow skirt is a big plus. It's just a great piece of gear. But I am a Marmot freak; their stuff (all of it I've ever had) works for me. The extreme cold weather stuff (CWM bag and 8000m set) has saved my life more than once. But back to the subject. The Troll Wall shell is great; worth the price. You will not be disappointed.

This jacket is great. It breathes pretty well ( the pit zips help ) and it stops any weather I take it into. It's also very durable and hasn't shown any wear despite pretty heavy use. It fits a little baggy and is great for layering. 6'1" 185 and the large leaves me space for whatever layers I need underneath.

Just got this shell two weeks ago and took it out for a week in Colorado and it was perfect. I only had to put a mid-weight fleece under it and was plenty warm in the 20 degree days, and it breathed great on the warmer days. The blowing snow one day was no match for the gore-tex pro shell. I'm 5'10" 150 and the medium fits perfectly. I couldn't ask for a better year round jacket. Can't wait to use it backpacking this summer too.

I've had this thing for about two years now, and it's seen everything from plowing through hemlock groves in 50°, rainy weather to 0° and 15mph winds. It seals up tight in a downpour and vents extremely well when trudging uphill. Found it for a sick price on SAC, and couldn't ask for anything more!

Great fit. I'm 6'3", 195 and the large fits perfect. The Gore-Tex Pro allows for wind protection, but breathability. This with a merino wool base was all I needed for Park City. Killer jacket with great functionality and the hood is helmet compatible. Orange looks great.

Bought this jacket on holiday in Park City - loved it but...the main zip is terrible. It jammed several times on the first day of use. I took it back and the replacement did the same thing. I eventually replaced it with a Patagonia.

The jacket has had great reviews and it is fantastic, it is just that the zip is SO bad that it brings the rest of the jacket down. I may have just been unlucky of course but I have other, less technical, Marmot products and the zips tend to be the same across the whole brand. Not good. Beware.

This jacket is Goretex Pro Shell, so it laughs in the face of wind and rain. This thing is bomb proof in howling summit winds. That said, the workmanship doesn't even compare to an Arcteryx Pro Shell, even the Chinese ones. The seams are exposed on this jacket instead of overlapped and hidden like Arcteryx does, though both have interior seam tape.

However, the cut of this jacket is why I gave this 3 starts. Given, I'm 6' 2" and 160 lbs, but this jacket makes me look like a turtle. Waaay too big in the body, even with a few layers on. Moreover, the arms on this jacket taper down extremely small, favoring the glove-over-jacket arrangement at the wrists. I prefer pulling my jacket over my gloves, but this jacket's sleeves will have none of it. The tapered arms combined with huge body make the cut even more unappealing.

Also, The zipper has a tendency to jam on the way up, especially in cold conditions. The large zipper flap only exacerbates this problem. Also, the large amount of fleece inside the zipper at chin level feels great above freezing, but collects condensation and then freezes rock hard when the mercury drops. Ouch.

In closing, if you are built like a 50 year old suburbanite with heart disease and wear thin gloves, buy this jacket. It's a great water and wind proof shell.
