consistent
Reviewers praise
  • Made from recycled nylon with taped seams and performs well in heavy rain
  • Pit zips and angel-wing movement provide good ventilation and mobility
  • Packable design with reversible pocket for storage
Reviewers push back
  • Not durable enough for multi-day camping or extended backcountry use
  • Regular fit can feel snug when layering with thicker mid-layers
A budget-friendly waterproof shell made from recycled materials that handles rain well for occasional use but lacks the durability for extended trips.
— best for: Occasional hikers and town users who need a lightweight rain shell for day trips and short outings in wet weather.

This jacket has definitely been my favorite Marmot purchase. I bought this as an easy lightweight jacket to throw it in my backpack for hiking. It layers perfectly with a sweatshirt if it gets a little bit cold. Big fan of the color as well, I receive compliments every time I wear it. Twister51 · marmot.com
