Marmot Women's Trail Wind Hoody

super lightweight, easy for travel
The jacket is very light weight and easy to pack in its own pocket. It is very convenient for traveling. I bought this jacket for trip to Grand Canyon in Septemper where weather is still warm, but light rains and strong wind will come and go. This jacket will definately keep you dry and cool with the underarm vents. Fits right. This is a great purchase and works very well

Best Buddy
Replacing my much-loved Marmot Ion wind shirt (circa 2002) was an exercise in research. Marmot no longer made the "Ion," and the world of ultralight gear had exploded, so I had a big task ahead. First, what I loved about the "Ion" was the hood, the weight, and the fit. To me, a multi-purpose fast-pack jacket has to have a hood. Weighing in at 4 oz., there was no excuse to leave it behind, no matter what the outing. After reading up on the many offerings in the wind shirt/rain repellent arena, I was back to Marmot, and its "Trail Wind Hoody." It has all the features of the Ion, i.e. the hood, the feather weight (3.5 oz.), and the not-too-tight, not-too-loose, fit. There's room for a next-to-skin layer, and one more. This version has a sleeve pocket, and an interesting pattern, so it's not your boring solid color standard. This jacket is so perfact for ultrarunning, fastpacks - not to mention quick errands. So it's my best buddy, and it shows up in every photo of all the crazy things I get to do.

Great Purchase
The product if very light weight which is convenient for traveling. Keeps you dry and cool with the underarm vents. Fits very nicely and is very comfortable. The only thing I wish this product had was side pockets. Otherwise this is a great purchase and works very well.
