Finally a switch

By Ranked #4997 - Men's Softshell Jackets December 5, 2006

I have been loyal to North Face for the last 15 years of my life. Every time I bought a new piece of gear I would only buy North Face. Well I took a lot of abuse from some the guys about not trying Marmot. So it was time to buy a new ski jacket this year. I spent a lot of time in and out of outfitters trying to find something that I loved. I had my heart set on another North Face jacket until I found the SuperHero. When I tried it on for the first time I knew I was about to leave my beloved North Face behind. I have not taken it off since I bought it. When people see it I get great compliments but I don't care because it does exactly what I need it to do. I am looking forward to some back country snowshoeing this year and teaching my son to snowboard. I think this jacket will be perfect for all of my winter journeys. Sorry North Face but I might be a Marmot man now. We will have to see when we make that first jump off a rock while snowshoeing. In the mean time, I will stay warm and dry and wait anxiously to really put this jacket to the test. Which I am sure it will pass. If you are looking and thinking about making a switch this would be the jacket I would start with.
