Marmot Essence Jacket - Men's
Excellent Performer

Ranked #2592 - Men's Rain Jackets
October 18, 2006
I purchased this to provide rain protection while riding motorcycle or bicycle. The jacket does hold some body heat. During a muggy Texas rain shower, it feels stuffy. But don't rely on it for warmth -- only water resistance. The built-in hood has a hook-and-loop strap to secure it when not needed, but it is confusing to use. No instructions were included to explain how to stow the hood; it requires origami fingers to get it out of the way.
