Comments about Marmot Oracle Rain Jacket - Men's:
I bought this on sale [...] and I have to say that when I took it out of the package, I couldn't believe I paid so much for a rain jacket. I found later it was much more than that. It is well suited as a cold weather shell. The zippers look flimsy and can bind at first, but you get used to them and they do break in a bit. I admit I am a large guy but within the size requirements I ordered. The jacket is very good for reaching and doesn't ride up or bind like others can. I had full range of motion. It felt less than roomy in the chest, shoulders and especially the arms. I am thick from years of weight training and it could use some extra cut in these areas. Heavy layers make it too tight. The good news is that you don't need heavy layers. I gave it the extreme Michigan weather test since January and am quite pleased with it's performance so far. I hiked for hours last weekend in mid 20's with only a poly, a wool layer and this jacket. I was toasty and dry. Anything in the 30's and up just needs a long sleeved shirt as a layer. It is very lightweight and packable and if you get inside for a while it seems to breathe enough combined with the pit zips to keep you from sweating. Needs a bigger chest pocket to stuff gloves and a hat and the mesh pocket material seems to latch onto things I place in them. I am very happy with this purchase.

I just recently used this jacket on sections of the AT. It was perfect for the rainy days, and also can double as a jacket to keep you warm at nights. Very lightweight. The arm pit ventilation is key when you start to sweat. Obviously a con of the jacket is that it doesn't breathe, but its a rain jacket...What do you expect??

Comments about Marmot Oracle Rain Jacket - Men's:
I brought back an Oracle jacket I bought 3 years ago because the zipper had failed. I was told repairing the zipper would be almost the cost of the jacket and I received a refund.
In looking at jackets at REI and other retailers, I ended up with the same product! The two problems I had with the original jacket had been corrected--the wrist closure was now one piece (the other delaminated) and the zipper lining that constantly snagged the zipper had been removed. Otherwise, the jacket seems to be a great mix of wind and waterproofing, good styling, and just the right weight, particularly as a final layer.

Have 1 year under the hood with this awesome rain jacket. I use a MHW monkey jacket for cold layering and not a peek of wind gets inside. Just came back from NorTier and this jacket was durable and perfect as a single layer. Great investment to date and breasthes perfectly in humid condtions

Spent a weekend camping in the rain. Stayed warm and dry. Lots of pockets. Quality construction. I spend about 30 days a year camping with the Boy Scouts.

A nice all around jacket that I can put over my soft shell when the weather turns a little nastier. The pit zips are a nice addition over the older versions. The hood which can be rolled up into the collar or zipped off is another feature that I like about this jacket. [...] I'm glad I did because it is all and more for what I expected of this jacket.
