Solid Contruction, OK Design

Rating:****

Overall, this is a great jacket. However, in my opinion, it's more of a mountaineering or hiking jacket than a skiing jacket. It would probably be perfect for someone who likes to hike or skin their way up and then ski down. But I bought this to serve as my primary ski jacket (mostly resort, but some backcountry), and for that purpose, there are probably better options for the price. This jacket has no side pockets (i.e. hand-warmer pockets); it only has the two Napoleon pockets. While the Napoleon pockets are fine for storage, I'm used to sticking my hands in my pockets on lifts (to keep warm), or at sporting events, or just walking around town. Also, I'm not a big fan of the hood being integrated into the collar without being stowable. It provides great neck coverage when zipped-up, so it's great on cold days. But on warm days, if you want to unzip a little bit, the collar and hood just kinda flop-around. I prefer a hood that is either removable, stowable, or at the very least, set-back off the collar away from your face. Here's my summary:

PRO's: very solid construction and feel, Gore-Tex weatherproofing and breathability, slightly stretchy, helmet-compatible hood, awesome color (Raven), zip-off powder skirt, and pit-zips.

CON's: Napoleon pockets only...no side pockets (i.e. handwarmer pockets); hood is not removable or stowable, making it awkward if you like to unzip at the neck to cool down.

I bought this jacket off of SAC so I got a pretty sweet deal. Even at full price you get exactly what you payed for. It is as waterproof as they come and I have never owned a more breathable jacket. I kind of miss the hand pockets but when backpacking it is definitely better without them. The straps of my backpack go under and over the chest pockets so they are always accessible. I am 6'0, 200lbs and the XL is a little bit big on me, but I ordered it that way so I could fit my down jacket underneath. Even with my 650 fill down jacket, medium thick fleece, and my base layer, I was still finding it easy to move. The arms on Marmot jackets run a little bit long but the cuff adjusts so it is not much of a problem. The only problem with sizing up is that the powder skirt does not fit well but I ski in the backcountry with a daypack on so that acts as a powder skirt anyway. Basically, this is a sweet jacket, so if you are on the fence about buying it, get off the fence and get to it. You will not be disappointed.

To the shell that holds me close

Rating:*****

(...a quick apology to Shakespeare...)
Can I compare this shell to a summers day?
It is more lovely and more temperate (even in downpours)
Rough winds did shake the lesser clothed mortals (40+mph and counting)
And summers lease has all to short a date
Some times to hot the eye of heaven shines (that is what the pit zips are for)
And often is his gold complexion dimmed (that is when you pull down the adjustable brim hood)
And every fair by fair sometimes declines
By chance or natures changing course untrimmed (like when that 40mph wind turned into a blizzard)
But thy eternal summer shall not fade (even when sitting on that 6th ice pitch 1200 feet above your down parka)
Nor loose possession of the fair thou owest
Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in its shade (except to pull your buddy out of a holy-mother-of-god crevasse with that prussick held in that oh-so useful chest pocket)
So long as men can breath (and sweat) or eyes can see
So long lives this (Gore-Tex pro shell) and this gives life to ME

Fantastic Shell

Rating:*****

Gotta love October in Colorado! I've had this jacket for one whole week and have already been caught in rain, snow, and wind. The weather proofing was superb, but to be honest I would've hardly expected anything else after dropping four and a quarter hundo on a Gore-Tex jacket. What really impressed me was the fit of the jacket. As a short guy (5'9") with broad shoulders and long arms (35") normally I have to make the decision between getting a medium and having the arms only go to about mid wrist, or getting a large and feeling like I'm a little kid borrowing my brother's jacket. Luckily I happened across the review below where someone gripes about the arms being too long. So now I've got a jacket that lives up to my expectations of weatherproofing and the sucker actually fits! (Its a medium). Some people might be a little turned off by the lack of hip pockets, but if you're anything like me its just one less place to lose stuff. Great fit, great function, I'd highly recommend.

Incredible

Rating:*****

First, I'm a compulsive gear buyer. I go through hardshells like nobody's business. This is about my 5th Shell Purchased this year, but it might be the last. The Jacket is SIMPLY AWESOME. First, it's gore-tex pro so you know you're getting the ultimate in breathability and waterproofability. Second, to my knowledge is the only Stretch Hardshell on the market featuring GTX Pro. I never knew how much I wanted a stretch jacket until I bought this. It's now my dedicated ski ski shell. It's got a nice athletic cut with long arms, but the medium still has enough room for my denali fleece under (i'm 6'2 w/ 40 in chest) and it's just long enough. This jacket is so good I picked up two for my dad and brother as well. Believe the hype, this jacket RULES!

can't be beat

Rating:*****

Without any doubt this is the finest shell I have ever owned, and I have had a few. The breathability is unbelievable...it feels more like a softshell in the regard. This is the only jacket I've used where you can mountain hike or even backpack without steaming up.
Looks great to boot..simple, clean, sturdy materials with great stitching and detailing. Decent fit with the hood: big enough for a helmut but can be cinched down easily for use without. I picked up the Raven with orange stiching...even the lining is delicious. The Zip-out snowskirt is easy to use. Some may not like the fact there are minimal external pockets.

Typical sensible Marmot sizing. I bought it on sale here...it was a steal. 5 1/2 stars!

Awesome Shell

Rating:****

Bought the Exum Jacket initially with the idea that it would work well on the slopes. Bad call. Way too thin construction (it is, afterall, an Ultralight shell), and it simply wasn't going to work for me as a multi-purpose jacket both on and off the hill. Returned it within 2 weeks and picked up the Torre instead. Turns out it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Love the much more rugged material, and the powder skirt is a HUGE plus. If you plan on making turns in the deep stuff this is the jacket for you. The hood construction is solid (helmet-compatible), and the collar provides excellent protection from the elements. Love everything about it.

GoreTex quality, Marmot innovation

Rating:*****
I use this jacket as my primary shell for ski patrol on Mt. Hood. The GoreTex Pro Shell has lived up to it's name and kept out everything from rain to freezing rail to big flakes of snow while still letting me breathe thanks to the material itself and the pit zips. The two chest pockets are well designed for alpine pursuits; they face "backwards" meaning that the left pocket is accessible with the right hand and vice versa, so you won't be using the pocket to keep your hands warm, but they have stored my food, camera, glide wax applicator, and more. All in all, a great jacket for backcountry or frontcountry use.

Great jacket.

Rating:*****

Very happy with this purchase. Fit: 5'8" 175 athletic build, Medium fit well even with fleece and down jacket. Weather: Spent the week snowboarding in wet, cold and deep. day one we had slush and rain and I stayed dry and comfortable. Day two temps dropped a bit and had tons of snowfall over night with deep powder, the powder skirt works well and kept every thing out. Day three temps dropped significantly, put on the down and continued to stay warm and dry. Pockets worked perfect I love having a shoulder pocket and don't miss hand pockets at all. Jacket seals up well in a downfall. Love this jacket.
