Very Solid Rain Shell

By dav3403346 Ranked #988 - Men's Rain Jackets April 21, 2010

I did a lot of research before buying the Marmot Aegis Jacket. I was looking for a light weight rain shell that was breathable, and comfortable to just wear around. I also didn't want to pay the 400-500 for Arcteryx or other high priced brands. Being at only 140, this jacket is a steal with all its features. First, the Marmot shell material is light, waterproof, and breathable, especially with its full pitzips. Its also soft and doesn't feel like you're wearing a rubber suit. They have also put soft light fleece around the neck for comfort. The fit isn't too slim and not too baggy. I'm 5'11" and 190lbs with an athletic build (bigger chest, about 41" and a 34" waist). I was inbetween the large and medium, but went with the medium since I won't be doing a lot of layering. I went with the Forest color, its a beautiful deep green. If you are wondering to get this or a more expensive jacket, don't blow your money on Gore-tex Paclite or eVent, this jacket does it all for half the price!
