Marmot Men's Tamarack Jacket

Marmot Men's Tamarack Jacket

The only sound you hear as you float through the dry, quiet powder is the sound of your buddies whooping for joy on the other side of a stand of tamarack trees. You grin contentedly knowing you'll be warm and dry for as many laps as your legs can handle when you're wearing the weatherproof Marmot Men's Tamarack Jacket. Made for in and out of bounds skiing and snowboarding, this winter jacket is crafted from waterproof breathable 2-layer MemBrain fabric. It is seam sealed and constructed with water-resistant pockets to keep the elements out. Vent extra heat on a climb when you unzip the underarm PitZips and leave the zip-off storm hood at home on sunny spring days. While it is not insulated, it is Zip-in compatible so you can connect this waterproof shell jacket to a Marmot fleece jacket or insulated jacket (only the Cauldron Jacket or the Approach Jacket are compatible) for extra warmth. Reinforced elbows bounce off branches without a snag to be found and Angel-Wing Movement gives you a full range of motion so this coat doesn't expose any skin when you lift your arms. From spring ski tours in Desolation Wilderness to lift-served lines at Alpine Meadows Resort, the Marmot Tamarack Jacket for men will expertly block wind, snow and rain to keep you dry. Is it just you or do those trees seem extra happy today?

Perfect shell
As one reviewer pointed out, need fleece layer for colder days, but perfect with single cotton layer, especially if dealing with any wet weather. Well thought out in terms of pockets, collar height. Can't wait to try it out on spring-ski days.

So far so good
Like others have said, great fit and quality so far. Good looking jacket with warm pockets and a great hood. Looks like a casual jacket. The only cons are stiff chest pocket zipper and unnecessary arm pocket. One more thing is the picture of the black jacket is wrong. It is navy blue with white marmot lettering.

The tamarack is perfect
I recently purchased the tamarack, my first hard shell, and can't be happier with my purchase. Living in Chicago, we get the wind and the precipitation, this jacket has done its job and some. In 20 degree weather with wind chills in the single digits, I layered with a full zip light weight fleece and felt nothing. The snow and sleet beads up and rolls off. Below zero wind chill is expected this weekend, time to really test this bad boy. Lastly, this jacket has some room, but isn't boxy. Layering is easy, comfortable and not bulky. If you're in the market for a lightweight hardshell thats tough as nails give the tamarack a go.
