I picked up an Aegis jacket ahead of a trip to Grand Cayman that was forecast to be hot, humid and rainy. Anyone can make a waterproof jacket, but I really needed something breathable and light. The Aegis delivered in spades. I came up from a scuba dive dripping with salt water and was met by a downpour. Not only did the Aegis keep the rain out, but it was so breathable that I was dry underneath in no time and the jacket kept the wind at bay (and me warm) -- I was impressed. It also kept me dry in some non-stop drizzle at night. The jacket is a few ounces heavier than some others out there, but it is very well constructed and I know that Marmot gear will hold up a long time (my 3-layer mountaineering shell is 15 years old and going strong). I'm 5'10, 42 chest, 34 waist and the medium fits me nice and trim -- I wouldn't be layering under a jacket this light, so the cut is just right. I bought the green color and got some nice compliments on it. Great buy.

I had these out for a couple days. Optics are excellent across the whole range -- very pure, no blurring or aberrations. Field of view also is excellent, very good peripheral vision. For fogging, compared to my old gogs they'd get more momentary fogging, but it would dissipate immediately. On my second day out, when it was more humid, they took a microsecond longer to clear, but they never did fog up. I haven't tried them on a true fog-fest powder day, though... we'll see. Best of all, on day two it went from bluebird to total cloud cover as a storm was blowing in, so I was able to simply pop in the lighter lenses... it's awesome to have that flexibility. In terms of fit, they work perfectly with my Giro 9 helmet. However, when I tried them on in the store with the Giro 10 and Smith helmets, the adjusters at the back of those helmet pressed into my neck a bit as the goggle is so tall. That will vary by head shape, but keep it in mind.

Bought this just in time for a trip to Jackson Hole for New Year's. I like the fit and comfort of this jacket, the sleeves were plenty long which can be an issue for me. The hood is huge -- great for helmets, but you'll look like a jawa if you're bare-headed. Our trip started with warm temps, high humidity and snow, and ended with temps -20 F, so this jacket really had to cover the gamut. It performed like a champ -- the jacket breathed well through both the fabric and pit-zips, it was soft and quiet even in the bone-chilling cold, moved with my body, and shed snow and ice like a champ. For years I've been skiing with just a 3-layer Gore-Tex Marmot jacket, so this was a bit warmer than I'm used to, but it's pretty easy to regulate your temp. I recommend it.
