Marmot Super Hero Softshell Jacket - Men's
CRAZY Collar
By Jackson
Ranked #1167 - Men's Softshell Jackets
January 13, 2009
Pros:
Fit was good, almost athletic cut like Arc
Gore Tex works really well
VERY LIGHT
Nice pockets
NO problems with zipper
DWR performed well
CON:
Could not get over that Darn Collar. DUDE its huge. EVEN when I unzipped the hood the collar was still gynormus.
I do want to warn people about the sizing. I own 10 yr old Thunderlight and the Tech Sweater from Marmot which I still wear regularly. I own both in MEDIUM and they were loose on me. When I purchase the Superhero I got the Large and it fit me perfect. I'm 5'7' 175lb. with broad shoulder. Either Marmot resize their jackets by making them smaller like TNF, MHW, & ARC or the cut of this jacket is different.
I couldn't get over the collar so I had to return it.
