Marmot Oracle Jacket - Mens
Field Tested in the Urban Jungle

Ranked #495 - Men's Rain Jackets
October 27, 2004
Before my Oracle Jacket made it to the rainforest, I wanted to see it live up to its "Editor's Choice Award" status in a controlled (or not-so-controlled as it turns out) environment. A rainy Spring day in Downtown Chicago was more than enough to convince me. With rain coming down in buckets coupled with that famous Lake Michigan wind, the skyscrapers turned a heavy rain into a walk through fire hoses. As I turned the corner of my office building I was hit by a blast of sideways rain that made me stop to keep my footing. Long story short, everything not covered by the Oracle Jacket was soaking wet. The Oracle Jacket has been my rain jacket of choice ever since.
