Durable MemBrain fabric with a remarkably high waterproof / breathability rating; 100% seam taped, two-layer construction, and an enviable collection of features: The Marmot Frontside Jacket for Men is a perfectly designed and executed jacket has it all. The zip-off storm hood is adjustable for visibility and coverage. Other features include a range of useful pockets, brushed Tricot in the collar and shoulder linings for comfort, and PitZips for on-the-fly temperature control.
good jacket, bad model name
This is a good jacket, and I was very pleased with the ordering and delivery process at Altrec. However, what I wanted was the Marmot Frontside COMPONENT jacket, so I had to return this non-liner jacket. Marmot needs to be more clear in thinking up jacket names, since I did not expect two very different jackets to have the same name. (or else I'm just more easily confused than others). I have been very pleased with other Marmot waterproof, breathable products (in particular their Precip raingear)and expect to be very happy with the Frontside COMPONENT jacket when I get it.
