Marmot Alpinist Jacket - Men's
Nearly perfect

I beat this jacket up for a season in Aspen and I loved it. I also have the Marmot La Grave Jacket and I only wore it a couple days because it just didn't fit as well and it wasn't as light. The construction held up well but I did manage to do some light damage here and there running through some trees. Featherweight, big vents for spring skiing, solid construction
Cons: I feel like the neck needs some adjustments. It seldom felt right completely zipped up as it was either too tight around my mouth or I was having to scrunch it up under my chin. Often times your warm breath can even fog up your goggles because of the way it outlets up the neck.
I'm 5'10" and I bought a large. I tried a medium but it wasn't roomy enough for me to layer.
