Marmot Impulse Jacket - Men's

Marmot Impulse Jacket - Men's description

Marmot made the Men's Impulse Jacket at a low weight of only 15 ounces and still packed it with features for backpacking and climbing. Waterproof breathable PreCip material provides total water protection. Marmot made the Impulse Jacket's hood removable, and it also rolls into the collar for times when you don't need it but don't want it in your pack. This storm jacket also packs small to take up little pack space when the sun shines bright.

Bottom Line: Keep the features and lose the weight with the Marmot Impulse Jacket.

Great jacket at a great price. Does a great job keeping the rain and wind out, and is extremely breathable. The pit zips and detachable hood are also nice touches. Athletic fit that was true to size. My only complaint is the hood string clamps are a bit weird, but nothing I couldn't get used to.

I have had the Impulse Jacket for a couple of months now -- through the Fall season -- and it has proved itself to me as a great waterproof/windproof, packable shell for rapidly changing weather conditions. I use it primarily for day hiking in the New England area; it's lightweight and fitted to go over a medium insulating layer or can be used alone in milder temps. It's well-made, super lightweight and packs down to almost nothing -- I highly recommend it.
