Marmot Essence Jacket - Men's
Amazing!!
By big5546594 October 31, 2012
I love this jacket. I have had it since april of this year and i have used it since. The jacket is so light and packable that i never leave the house without it. I simply roll it up and put it in the side bag of one of my packs. Heck one night in the summer i managed to roll it small enough to fit in my pant pocket while at the bar! And i use the XXL. (Im a big boy. lol). Any how Ive been in some serious down pours and have stayed completely dry. Its so thin and light that you can wear it during warm weather months. And this thing is just about wind proof. I have used it for running during cooler weather and it worked better then a light north face i have for running. The down side to this jacket is that it can get a little clammy. The pit vents don't help to much. And in keeping with the "essentials" it only has one pocket. Therefore, all in all this is a great jacket when the time comes to buy a new rain jacket i hope this one is still around.
