When your fast and light day hike to the summit of South Sister involves strong winds and a chance of being in a dense cloud at the top, the Marmot Men's Altitude Jacket will help keep you warm, dry and moving comfortably at 10,000 feet. Made from Marmot M2 shell fabric, this softshell fleece jacket is well-suited for a variety of aerobic activities in moderate to cold weather. Water-resistant, wind-resistant, durable, warm and highly breathable, M2 fabric is the perfect balance between weather resistance and breathability. A chest pocket, an inside pocket and 2 lined zippered front pockets keep snacks, gloves and your hat handy and a DriClime-lined chin guard eliminates chin-chafe when fully zipped up. Angel-Wing Movement lets you raise your arms without lifting your jacket to make scree scrambles easy. Don't forget a pair of leather gloves for the scree-ski back down, you'll want to keep the Marmot Altitude Jacket for men in one piece for your North Sister climb next weekend.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Marmot Altitude Jacket for Men is available through Altrec.com.

Marmot Altitude Jacket
I have this jacket in black and graphite (grey). Love the european style fit and protection in rain, wind or even a cool breeze. Wear it all the time in San Francisco, which has unpredictable weather.

Great Buy
I received this as a Christmas gift and I love it. I'm 6'3" and pretty thin and the large fits perfect. It's big enough to wear a sweater under it, but also fits good with just a t-shirt on. It's also just thick enough to keep you warm but not get too hot. And the way it is cut so that you're sleeves don't go all the way down your arm when you put them above your head it great. It would be a great jacket for climbing on a chilly fall day.

Nice Softshell!
I wanted a lighter jacket as I am wanting to use at for layering. Wore this jacket with a fleece mid-layer in a 20 degree bike ride and it protected me from the 5-10 mile/hr wind and cold. Also got caught in heavy snow and rain and kept me warm and dry. Plan on going biking in colder weather to see how far I can push it.

Perfect fit and great performance, as well as much better build quality than other brands. Marmot got this one right on the money.
