Marmot Ultima Softshell Jacket - Men's

Cocona technology in the Marmot Men’s Ultima Softshell Jacket uses the carbon from coconut shells to provide natural and everlasting odor blockage, UV protection, and quick-dry characteristics. Pull this softshell on and backpack and day hike all you want. Marmot’s wind- and water-resistant, breathable M2 fabric handles East Coast fog and drizzle and West Coast sun. Angel-Wing Movement design lets you lift your arms without the torso of this jacket riding up, and the fit allows for a light performance layer underneath the Ultima Softshell.

Bottom Line: Odor blocking that won’t wear out or wash out.

Marmott Ultima Softshell

By:
November 21, 2008

Nice jacket, but not what I expected from a warmth perspective. I have had other softshells that were half the price and warmer. I expected a something similar to Marmott's Gravity or Molan softshell as far the thickness of material. So depending on the application, I would say this jacket is for activities in the upper 50s and 60s, and not sufficient for 50 degrees. Not the Ultimate softshell in my opinion.

question about the arm pocket: is it actually useful? or is marmot

question about the arm pocket: is it actually useful? or is marmot just trying to copy arcteryx's style of putting pockets on the upper arm of EVERYTHING. in fact, does anyone know why arcteryx does that? is it for some specific purpose, or just style?

I've got both jackets, well I actually swapped my arc' for this marmot and used the arm pocket for the same things. I use them for smaller maps, maybe a compass as well or anything else small that I might need to get out a little more often. They're useful for that in my opinion.

Love it!

As the other reviewer said, it's certainly not a below-freezing shell, but to me it stays very comfortable when the temperature drops. It probably just depends on how hot or cold you typically are. I have trouble wearing most jackets because I always get too hot. This one stays warm but never seems to get me to the point of sweating. It's SUPER comfortable and very well made. Not the greatest if it's really windy but it's good at repelling rain.

If you're looking for a lightweight jacket you can't go wrong.

I love it!

Not warm, but very light and comfortable. Not a lot of bulk.Pretty broad temperature range (high 30s to low 60s over a shirt).I like it.
