Marmot Alpinist Jacket - Men's
Pro Shell perfection

Ranked #133 - Men's Technical Shells
October 17, 2011
I have had & shopped for dozens of shell jackets & this one has come up trumps. Fit is perfect (i'm 5'9", 78kg and athletic / stocky and the medium is perfect). Love the stretch Pro-Shell fabric, moves the way you want a shell jacket to move. Full complement of features / pockets without being excessive. My only negative comment would be the cuff diameter - a little tighter around the wrists than you'd hope, but only marginally so. All in all this is my perfect shell jacket for backcountry skiing and peak bagging; yet to see how it stands to long term abuse in Tasmanias wild off track scrub, which is notoriously brutal.
