Marmot Sharp Point Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 9, 2009

I trekked through Patagonia, which is notorious for its changeable weather. I tried to travel very light, but I felt compelled to take several jackets of various weights because I was concerned about the variability of climate. I needn't have, since this single item served just about every purpose. It's highly breathable, particularly when you can open the pit zips for additional ventilation, and served very well in moderate precipitation. It's a great item all around.

This is the most versatile jacket I've every used on the trail. I took it on a difficult trek through Patagonia and used it every day. My only comment is that the fit is a tiny bit on the large size. Otherwise, it was perfect. The windstopper fabric really did stop the relentless winds down there, but it was very breathable. The pit zips are convenient and they make it that much more adaptable to varied weather.

Nice, but flawed.

As at least one other has reported, these glasses have loose screws by the nosepiece that are tiny. Once they come out, good luck getting them back in.

I wore this on a two-week trek through the mountains in Patagonia, where the weather can change from winter to summer in a day. This jacket was my only rain protection, and it was all I needed. It's quite sturdy, so I was able to jam it in my backpack and pull it out in any conditions. It seemed to breath just as well as my wife's Gortex Pac-Lite.
