Marmot ROM Jacket Reviews:
Positive Reviews:
Worth the price!
There are only two negatives to this jacket. The first is the large price tag. I was very hesitant to purchase this jacket because of the price, but I bit the bullet and went with the Blue one. Now the money is long gone, I have moved on financially and am a left with a fantastic article of clothing. I do not regret it one bit. The second issue is the claim of water resistance. I sometimes use this jacket for off road biking (since I live in Wisconsin I can't truthfully call it "Mountain Biking") in cooler weather. A couple of times now I have been rained on while wearing this jacket on the trail, one time was a very heavy rain. The water did not run off the jacket, it did not collect into droplets on the surface of the jacket, it just soaked right into the jacket and I was WET within minutes. This is a soft-shell and I did not buy it for its water resistance capabilities, but they also should not have claimed water resistance as a feature of this jacket. To be fair, the rain I was in with this jacket was a heavy downpour and I should have had on a rain jacket.
There are numerous positives to this jacket. The wind proofing on this jacket works very well. The fit is great. I can move around, raise my arms, bend over and all the while the jacket stays where it should. The hood fits over my bike helmet just fine, and I assume it would fit over a climbing helmet just fine as well. The multiple pull cords on this jacket work flawlessly. I especially like the waist cords that are inside the hand pockets. This jacket packs very nice. I have taken it on many hikes and it does not use up much room in my pack. I did have trouble accessing the main hand pockets with a large pack on, not a big issue, but I noticed it. I have not used this jacket as a base layer but I have worn it over a fleece as an outer layer. The wind proofing of the jacket along with the insulation of the fleece is an excellent combination. If worn by itself or over just a t-shirt you will get cold if you are standing around. This is a thin jacket made for aerobic activity.
**Note** I bought the blue jacket and it has a red zipper not a green one like in the picture. I don't know if the one in the picture is a different year than mine but it definitely is not green. I was not disappointed but some people may be. I actually like it better.
Buy one. No, seriously, do it!
What is it? Well, it's a windproof hoody with a bunch of technical features -- pockets for ventilation, breathable side panels so you don't roast in it, adjustable cuffs and hood. It's tremendously comfortable and fits just like a regular hoody, but it works perfectly in a surprisingly wide range of temperatures. In spring and fall, you can wear it over a tech tee and it cuts the wind and provides enough warmth for most activities.
In legitimately cold weather (freezing or just above), I hike with nothing but a Capilene 2 or Capilene 3 base layer and my Marmot ROM jacket, which is both incredibly comfortable and incredibly breathable. The first time I tried that, I was honestly surprised at how warm the ROM kept me! It's seriously a swiss army knife, perfect for a very wide variety of non-precipitating conditions.
Most importantly, it breathes really well. You just never build up sweat inside this jacket, unless you're wearing a cotton t-shirt underneath (or it's just too warm for a jacket). It doesn't have pit zips because it flat-out doesn't need them; the side panels are really stretchy and breathable, and keep your body ventilated in places where you're already protected from the wind. "Body-mapping" and "air permeable" are trendy phrases right now, but Marmot has absolutely nailed it with the ROM.
This is the perfect solution for me when it comes to high-output activities in cold weather, and the hood just adds to the versatility. It's a much more comfortable hood than most hard shells, too.
Being a softshell, of course, you don't really want to wear it when it's raining or snowing because the fabric will wet out (even though the windproof laminate itself is basically waterproof). It doesn't have a DWR coating to bead up water. But if the skies are clear, for winter hiking or the approach to a climb or ski run, this is THE jacket to have... especially if the wind is ripping and you're going to be using some energy!
fantastic jacket
one soft shell to rule them all
When worn over a mid layer, the ROM is perfectly suitable as a cold-weather shell for activities like skiing, snowboarding and so on.
The best thing about this jacket is the fit. It is a true athletic fit that stays close to the body which, when combined with the stretchiness of the material, gives you a superior range of motion and degree of comfort when compared to traditional hard shells. There is no excess bagginess or bunching, and just enough room to comfortably fit a warm mid layer. If you're rocking a keg instead of a six-pack, this jacket may be too trim of a fit. For long and lean body types, though, this jacket is the best fit I've ever encountered in a shell of any kind.
This jacket won't replace a winter parka or a hard shell for those who really think they need them. Nor is it a sufficient as a standalone winter jacket unless you are engaging in moderate aerobic activity. But for the price, this is a ridiculously versatile soft shell that can serve you in a wide variety of circumstances if you know how to use it.
Versatile Softshell
This is a shell, not an insulated jacket, but the interior of the jacket has a nice soft peach fuzz type of finish that is comfortable and non-clammy if worn next to skin, such as with only a t-shirt underneath.
Read the description carefully - it is not 100% Windstopper. The side panels are a tight woven stretchy material that is not as wind-resistant as Windstopper, so you will get some air circulation inside on windy days. This is a plus when you are working hard, such as going uphill, but if you are sitting still in a cold wind you will notice the air coming through.
I think an ideal use is an activity like backcountry skiing, where you are active most of the time and want the breathability over absolute wind-proofness. I have not worn this yet for resort skiing on a day when it is cold and windy and you want wind-proofness to stay warm while standing in line and sitting on the lift. I would probably wear a wind proof mid-layer, like a Patagonia Nanopuff or a Mtn. Hardwear Compressor jacket underneath. Or, just use a hardshell instead.
Perfect fit for long arms
On cold days (45-55 degrees) I will usually wear warm Underarmor or another warm thermal, a polo shirt, jeans and some light gloves and this jacket keeps the cold wind out and keeps enough heat in to keep me comfortable and warm until the sun goes down.
On warmer days (60-70 degrees) I can wear this jacket over a polo t-shirt with jeans and I stay nice and warm all day without getting too hot or uncomfortable.
Other jackets I have owned keep me warm, but when the sun comes out and the temperature raises a few degrees, I get hot and uncomfortable. This Marmot solves that problem.
Also, I did go sledding with my kids in this jacket. It does a great job keeping you dry and warm as long as you wear the right gloves and under gear. it alone just isn't enough to keep you comfortably warm even over a long-sleeve button up shirt, but with the right gear and warm Underarmor, it does the trick. I love the hood that fits snug over my head and chin, even up over my mouth.
All in all, I recommend this to everyone and wish i had one of these in every color. In fact, my next jacket will definitely be a Marmot
This could be the best jacket ever IF they made the hood large enough to fit over a helmet. So annoying. Jacket fits great, looks great, still getting used to this Marmont two tone nonsense. Can we have a solid colored jacket other than black please? best uses are active pursuits, don?t buy this if you intend on sitting on a chairlift or a bus stop in the wind and pouring rain. You will be very disappointed. Wore it with a 250 baselayer in the southern alps of new Zealand climbing and such. Felt great, even with nothing underneath. Performed well, but couldn?t throw the hood over my BD halfdome, again, annoying. It will serve well as a hiking jacket too. I like that the pockets don?t interfere with my harness or my pack. Most jackets, even my Alpha SV, has issues with pockets. The cut of this jacket is also a little long, so it doesn?t come untucked from your harress. Stretch is good, zippers function well, its plain and simple. Really a no nonsense jacket that?s light enough to take on every trip. I bought the green (bright grass), color is true and makes the photo?s in the snow much cooler. It?s a softshell with windstopper, great for stopping wind, terrible in the wet stuff.
*ordered a medium (175#, 5/11, 41" chest, 31" waist)
Rad sauce
The key to buying this jacket is knowing what it is for and how to use it. For aerobic activity, the ROM is incredible. For standstill warmth, not so much.
The fit is superb for active use. I'm 6'1" , 175 lbs and I got the medium. It's roomy enough to wear a base layer and a fitted insulation layer, but you can still wear it with a t-shirt and it looks great. The sleeves are for once long enough for those ape types like myself, but not so long that someone with average length arms wouldn't be just as stoked as I am to wear this jacket. The material also has a bit of stretch to it which is awesome when you need a good range of motion. It breathes really well, but still shears off wind with ease. It also stops light rain showers from ruining your day. The ROM's durability is great so far.
I have used this jacket for snow shoeing and alpine climbing to date. I'm sure it would be great for skiing too. If you need a jacket with a great range of motion (like climbing) that blocks wind and light precip this jacket will deliver! Buy it!
I cannot tell you how much I love this jacket! I've been looking for a breathable shell for over a year now that fits my lifestyle. (backcountry skier, snowshoes, skins climber ice climber, kayaker etc...) whatever you lifestyles is in the outdoors you wont be disappointed..
Perks, Super breathable, when you need to dump heat just unzip your front side pockets and let the wind in. No zips underarms but it does come with a layer that is really breathable so those pits can breathe. Super long so it's nice when you're skinning or even have a backpack on, you don't need to keep. adjusting.
Drawbacks; Hood is too small for climbing/ski helmet which does blow. If you're expecting it to keep out a Tsunami don't but a solid coat of DWR spray with a Silicon Base will turn this thing into a rainstopper. I can literally put my jacket underneath the sink and watch the water bead off leaving it completely dry. But you don have to spend about 10$ to find some good water proof spray.
I got mine on clearance at the rack at Dillards for 65$!!!! and I cannot tell you how happy I've been!
Thanks.
...well, you found it! This is a great soft shell jacket for a variety of activities. Great for spring skiing, climbing/mountaineering, touring, and so many other aerobic activities in the winter. For cold days it will keep you warm and shield wind with a good base and mid layer on, but it will also help keep you cool working hard on a sunny day with its great breathability. I find it to be a really great piece for skiing/touring in warmer weather and climbing in the summer. I have also worn it on cold days (0-20 degrees) with a base layer and decent mid layer and stayed plenty warm especially when moving. This jacket's best feature is its ability to block wind. For how light the jacket feels it definitely is capable of keeping the breeze away on cool days. Fit of the jacket is very average in my opinion. Not baggy and not tight. I'm 5'10" 160 and I wear a small and find plenty of room to layer under this with no restriction in movement.
Neutral Reviews:
Meh, for the money (particularly on sale) it's not a bad shell and has its uses, but I'm not so crazy about this one. I don't really buy into the idea that mixing a windproof but not very breathable material with very breathable but not very windproof panels somehow gives you the best of both worlds. Why not the worst of both worlds? I have found that it breathes pretty well, but the price for that is wind penetration while hanging from ski lifts in cold winds. This jacket makes more sense for touring and other aerobic activities in more wind-protected areas, but I think there are better choices for those applications.
I find that the fit runs quite long and roomy. I'm 6'1" 185 lbs and the Large is all around quite long and loose. Not really a problem as it leaves room for layers and is comfortable enough, but it's probably the roomiest Large of any shell I've ever owned.
I�m using the Jacket mostly for cycling, it does the job. good breathability, good wind protection and with a fleece underneeth you actually dont need a winterjacket.
It is big sized, so if you are considering layering up, you should not pick a larger size than normal.
I can only give the jacket 3 stars, as the napoleon-pocket broke in the lining after 3 weeks..
