Marmot Afterburner Fleece Jacket - Men's

Item #MAR0894 | 52 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Afterburner is a great piece of outerwear

By Ranked #2144 - Men's Fleece Jackets October 23, 2009

I have had numerous fleece jackets over the years and appreciate their light weight and insulating qualities. The only drawback is when the wind blows it goes right through fleece. I searched for years for a functional wind blocker fleece that was comfortable to wear and didn't feel like cardboard. The Afterburner is well designed, it is full cut but not too boxy. The full cut allows for easy layering and has drawstrings to adjust fit. The best part is the fleece material is soft and flexible and not too thick. The neck and wrist cuffs are extremely comfortable and make it a joy to wear. The jacket is nice enough to wear around town. It has quickly become my favorite when the temperature drops below 40-50 degrees. The only thing I would like is an outside chest pocket (Marmot had one a few years back) to make it more functional in the field. You won't be sorry you spent the money on this jacket.
