Marmot Variant Insulated Jacket - Men's
Available Colors / Styles
With Thermal R ECO insulating the front and Polartec Power Stretch fleece taking care of the rest, the Marmot Men’s Variant Insulated Jacket is a step above your average fleece jacket in warmth and performance. Thermal R ECO insulation is composed of recycled, high-loft fibers that deliver lots of warmth without the bulk. The rest of the body not only provides plenty of warmth, but the Power Stretch fleece also delivers the benefit of natural movement. Slide into the thumbholes for maximum protection from the weather and push yourself to a new level of endurance.
Bottom Line: Stretchy protection.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Awesome!

I love the Variant design. This jacket can be used from anything to everyday wear to use as a baselayer for cold-weather outdoor activities. As a campfire jacket, it's tough to beat this. Warm, light, and super comfortable.
Also, the weight of 20oz is definitely too heavy, my large weighs in at 14oz.
I was wondering how this jacket would serve as an everyday fall/spring
I was wondering how this jacket would serve as an everyday fall/spring jacket(nothing necessarily super aerobic).

Hey Andy,
It would probably work just fine for that but is definitely meant for high output activities. No reason it can't keep you warm just hanging out.

This is the most versitile jackets i have ever worn.
I've used this for running in winter time, ice climbing, mountaineering, as insulation layer in the winter with nothing else but a gore tex shell. because the back is not insulated you wont sweat but you wont freeze either, because the front keeps your body up to temp. note that this jacket is best used for excercise, not so much for standing still and poking in your nose
This jacket is not really made for skinny people, if you're a big guy with a lot of muscles this is a perfect fit for you
Why is this jacket so heavy compared to the TNF Animagi or the
Why is this jacket so heavy compared to the TNF Animagi or the Arcteryx Atom MX? All three are similarly constructed but this one is ~150 grams heavier than those two.

I think B.C. has the weight wrong on this one, Marmot is calling it only 12.8 oz.

This jacket is sweet. It is perfect as a layering piece for skiing or ice climbing and stands by itself during less harsh activities. The wrist gaiters are good, but bulky as they added them in with extra fabric (weird). I have the green and it is sick!!!
Pretty cool concept

If you could make a version of this jacket with full insulation around the core and back leaving the sleeves as is, I would be in heaven!
I layer this with the ROM and although perfect for those high intensity activities where the sweat can be dissipated quickely.
For those days in the fall when i sit by a campfire in the evenings an insulated version of this sucker would be awesome!
Northface came out with one this year but it looks hiddeous.
The only other option is the baffin that is not that appealing due to the fit of the garment.

If you want an insulated front and back, but the arms to stay the same, why not just get an Primaloft vest? Something like the Patagonia Nano Puff vest would seem to hit the spot...Plus you'd have more flexibility with layering.

Check out the Marmot Merger Hybrid Jacket. This has insulation on the front and back, but the sleeves remain the same.
Nice concept but...

Nice concept but the fit of this jacket for me was very odd. The insulated front torso seems nice but is extremely thin, not sure about the warmth. For $150, this thing is getting returned.
Change me.
