nice jacket for rain, etc.

By Bucket Ranked #647 - Men's Rain Jackets January 26, 2011

Here's a jacket that fills a lot of different skills. One, it's affordable for a nice shell with taped seams, next is the retractable hood, this is good for a lot of things, especially if it starts raining and you delay hood deployment. Jackets with the hood dangling usually turn into rain pails. Great if you're thirsty, but terrible when you want to stay dry and pull the hood over your head only to get a cold shower. And for a no frills jacket, Marmot didn't forget to give a nice touch of micro fleece around the neck for that cozyness factor we all love. the sleeves are just baggy enough to layer heavy underneath if needed, and the pockets are big enough to hold a pair of climbing skins for lapping powder in the backcountry. rolled up tight, it's just smaller than a nalgene bottle, and weighs about the same as an empty one. Don't go bashing in the woods with this, but properly handled, this is a great jacket for your outdoor needs, no matter what the season.
