So....what's the difference between this jacket & the Marmot Ion? (I can read, so obviously one has a hood and one doesn't; one has a front pocket and one a rear; etc.) But why have 2 wind shirt/jackets that are so similar? Am I missing something here?

The Ion and Motion are both great super light windshirts. The only difference is hood versus no hood and the color blocking. The simple reason for 2 styles is some people want a hood and some don't. The Rush is a full rain jacket (waterproof/breathable fabric and taped seams) while the Ion and Motion are just water repellent and windproof. Both have a front chest pocket.

Why does Colgate make 50 types of toothbrushes? It's also similar to the Rush jacket. I'm assuming they are banking on a slightly different design/color scheme to boost sales. But I'm also just bitter that the big outdoor suppliers are selling out : )
