Review on Vintage Boys' Clothing: Marmot Lightweight Hooded Windbreaker by Rusty Calcara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The lightest wind jacket

The light Marmot Ether wind jacket lives up to its name. This jacket doesn't let the wind in and folds up very easily for easy portability. The stretchy cuffs on the arms are a big bonus and there's no hidden wind as you can fully close and pull the hood up for maximum wind protection. The soft inner lining keeps you comfortable and this jacket doesn't feel like a plastic bag, but the moisture-wicking material on the outside keeps rain out and keeps you warm on the inside. It can get a bit stuffy in a jacket on wetter but rainy days, but that's Florida for you. Elsewhere, the ventilated underarm area ensures that you remain streamlined yet highly customizable. But what I like best is how easy it is to transport this jacket because you can fold and roll it almost to poncho size. It's extremely light, probably no more than a pound when rolled up, and can easily be stowed in a car or bag. I have a size 4 woman and this boys jacket seemed a bit small to me, although boys jackets are usually quite large. I can barely zip it up but this is my choice of windbreaker and raincoat and hopefully I'll find one that fits me a little better but does the job well. If you are a size 0 or 2, especially if you want a slim figure and smaller breasts, this will suit you and it will look tight. probably not even a pound when rolled up, and it's something lightweight you can stash in your car or bag.
