Great lightweight, breathable piece

By ted2487351 Ranked #1096 - Men's Rain Jackets July 11, 2010

I picked up an Aegis jacket ahead of a trip to Grand Cayman that was forecast to be hot, humid and rainy. Anyone can make a waterproof jacket, but I really needed something breathable and light. The Aegis delivered in spades. I came up from a scuba dive dripping with salt water and was met by a downpour. Not only did the Aegis keep the rain out, but it was so breathable that I was dry underneath in no time and the jacket kept the wind at bay (and me warm) -- I was impressed. It also kept me dry in some non-stop drizzle at night. The jacket is a few ounces heavier than some others out there, but it is very well constructed and I know that Marmot gear will hold up a long time (my 3-layer mountaineering shell is 15 years old and going strong). I'm 5'10, 42 chest, 34 waist and the medium fits me nice and trim -- I wouldn't be layering under a jacket this light, so the cut is just right. I bought the green color and got some nice compliments on it. Great buy.
