Marmot Men's Sharp Point Jacket

One of the best!
This is a high-performance soft shell. It does everything it is supposed to do--repels water, blocks wind, has some insulating capabilities, and fits great. I have worn it in a white-out on top of a Colorado fourteener and it kept me warm and dry. Temperature was high 30's, the wind was gusting about 35-40 mph and I didn't notice. This week I wore it in light rain and the water beaded up nicely. You can wear it in colder weather but I would have a layer or two underneath. Shell is soft and flexible, unlike TNF Apex Bionic which feels stiff. I can put this in my pack without it taking up the entire thing. Weight is relatively light. It can cover a wide range of conditions with the right clothing/layering options. One note: the collar does not fit snugly against my neck so I can feel the cold air. Not a problem if I am wearing a t-neck, but when I wore a collar-type shirt the other morning, I did notice the cold. Is the jacket worth the high price? Depends on what you are looking for. You can find other soft shells that do the job for a lot less. This one is very well constructed and has pit zips, something you may not need. Overall, I have been very satisfied.

Excellent jacket
I use this jacket for xc-skiing and it's both very breathable and warm. However GTX windstopper has its limits when it comes to releasing body moisture and the inside ended up being quite moist after a 26 mile marathon.

Great Shell
I really have enjoyed this new jacket, it has great warmth to weight ratio. So lite I hardly knew it was on.
