Awesome Jacket

Ranked #679 - Men's Technical Shells

The Jacket is a 3rd party request. Essentially it's a Marmot jacket, with a few tweaks here and there. From a Marmot service rep, I've been told it's most like the Tamarack, except lighter (no powder skirt), and a few other changes.This jacket runs LARGE. Body: 6'2 155-160lbs I was swimming in a medium, in many aspects. Shoulder was huge, chest was huge, length was ok, maybe a bit to long on the waist and arms but not bad. I got the small and it fits GREAT. Length is perfect, and I wish the cut was more athletic, but o well, still not that bulky. Overall, this jacket feels great. Nice and reasonably cool for a long sleeve anything, during a 10 min bike ride at 68F meaning it breathes well. Fabric seems durable and of course water beads up well. We shall see if it stands the test of time.This seems like a very versatile jacket, which is exactly what I wanted. Not super lite but not bulky with extra features for one sport (like skiing)
