Marmot Genesis Jacket - Soft Shell (For Men)

Excellent weather proof coat. Wind and water proofing works extremely well, and the coat moves with you. Perfect for bad weather.

This is almost a hard shell jacket in that the outside is fairly stiff and windproof. I have not had it in the rain but I would imagine it would be pretty waterproof as well. The fleece lining is very soft and warm. This is a warmer jacket than it feels based on its thickness. The sizing is a tiny bit smaller than most. I guess it could be termed athletic fit so it is not good for wearing over layers unless you buy a size up.

Great jacket put poorly designed hood.

I work in law enforcment in Detroit, MI and this jacket is by far the absolute best jacket I've ever purchased. Possibly the best 3 or 4 season jacket I ever seen. I am warm blooded and don't like wearing bulky coats and this jacket is the perfect solution; light weight, extremely warm yet still breathable....perfect for our miserably long winters here in Michigan. It can also be used in the Fall or Spring as a nice windbreaker or rain coat. I am looking to purchase another as back-up before they are all gone. Hopefully marmot will bring this cut/style back.

A little lightweight maybe for cold skiing days, a little noisier than some when rubbing itself. But a good soft shell for sure. Good adjustable hood fits over helmet. Those littel bitty zippers are gonna freeze up for sure in the blizzards.

I bought this soft shell for my husband, who normally wears a large- but the sleeves were sooo long! We returned it for a medium, which hasn't come yet, but hopefully it will fit. It seems like a great coat, we'll see after 08-09 ski season, as my hubby tends to wear things out pretty easily!

This jacket shows me the downside of our generation of "Plastic" jackets. The hood visor is malformed, and you can't correct it. The cuffs are supposed to be flexible, but one is stiff as plastic and crooked, you can't get it to fit your wrist. I'm sorry to say Marmot design has gone downhill over the years. The anatomical designs they made 4+ years ago are gone .Angel wing movement replaced by tin-man movement....it just does not move -with- you . This jacket has no flex, no anatomical movement, malformed plastic cuffs and visor and is just no joy to wear.

This is a well built jacket with tons of great features. The welded seams and laser cut pockets make this jacket virutally bullet proof.

I have many Marmot products and lean that direction when hunting outdoor hiking gear and such.
