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.

Great soft shell!!

My 1st purchase from SAC and this coat is awesome. It is perfect for the GA weather. Toasty warm and wind resistant for the cold days/nights, yet breathable for the cool fall days. I'm 6'2" and the XL is slightly big. This will be my go to coat and it looks great.

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.

Replacing a lost North Face Apex Bionic

By:
November 14, 2009

I really liked my Bionic, but I accidentally left it in a cab. One thing I didn't like about it was it's breathability.

After extensive research, I settled on the Ultima Softshell because of other reviews and it was on sale ($120). I also loved the color (Tempest, which isn't available anymore?). I'm 5'11, 170 and the large fits perfectly (i.e. room underneath for a sweater/sweatshirt)

The construction is excellent. The places where water would hit have a more resistant fabric. The remaining fabric (under arms and the back) seems more breathable. I use this as part of a layering system, so breathability is very important.

I'd have preferred the whole jacket to be totally water resistant and have pit zips instead, but pit zips are almost non-existent in softshells.

The arm pocket is nice, but would benefit from having a headphone cable opening.

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.
