Review on ๐Ÿงฅ Marmot Women's Essential Lightweight Waterproof Technology Apparel: Coats, Jackets & Vests by Malik Axmed

Gore-Tex value for money

Hi All, I was looking for a hip length Gore-Tex raincoat that would keep me dry when hiking and other outdoor activities. Also felt the length would be more appropriate for work than a shorter jacket. Marmot makes quality gear, but I'll freely admit that I wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't found it in the 'used in very good condition' section of the stock discounts. (For those interested, this is a great way to appreciate things that are typically out of price range). But back to the coat: compact, soft, not too loud and roomy enough to wear a fleece layer underneath. I'm an 8 on top, broad shoulders/kayak arms and usually 10 in pants. I bought a large one to ensure freedom of movement. The zip pockets are huge and the attached hood fits well without being too saggy. Blue - light blue, not royal, not dark blue, but somewhere in between. Nice color for us brunettes.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some little things
