Not bad, not great

By Nick Barlow Ranked #684 - Men's Technical Shells December 25, 2009

3 stars, because for $350, it should do more for you. Quality is very average as a whole. Patagonia/Mountain Hardwear/Arctyrx/Helly Hansen - seem to have better offerings for the same price.

Gore-tex performance shell, soft and lightweight. Feels nice, and has great breathing and waterproof features. Jacket is pretty steezy, if it will fit you right.

My main gripe IS about the fit. I'm 6' 170lbs, have pretty broad shoulders. I ordered the large. Everything fits, except the sleeves are too short. They'd be fine if this was a casual jacket, but not for a technical shell for outdoor activities.

They won't fit over an under-the-cuff glove (which I prefer). The arm openings are small. On the Marmot site, it says something about how the cuffs are velcro and elastic. Well, there's no elastic at all, and the velcro feels cheap. Sad.

I was pretty excited about this one, but didn't keep it.
