Comments about Marmot Tamarack Shell Jacket - Men's:
I have had many jackets over the years and only two or three really stand out in terms of overall functionality and performance. This jacket is one of them. I use it primarily as my "80% of the time" ski jacket in CO. It blocks the wind well, is roomy enough to layer under neath, the hood covers a helmet (although could use a little more room there), and keeps me dry no matter what. It could use a little more wind resistance but that is asking a lot from a thin material and I would not want the jacket to be any heaver. I have found that I like it so much, I tend to take it home with me when I travel back east. On those cold North East storm winter days it is great. The water repellant finish did not last too long allowing for a little water absorption when it really get wet but I never get wet inside. A very true fit is nice too. I am 5'11" at 165 lbs and the medium fits with room for a good layer when really cold.

Love this jacket, needs to have mesh liner on side vents is my only (small) complaint (most brands do not have this: Sierra Design used to have them, Spyder does); my Mt Hardware does not).

Comments about Marmot Tamarack Shell Jacket - Men's:
I purchased this jacket as a gift from an REI gift card back in November 2011. I spent countless hours, both at stores and online, reviewing each jacket specifically in an attempt to target the perfect jacket. I wanted something waterproof, windproof, durable, and somewhat insulated... although I was willing to eliminate the latter. I found everything I needed and more in this Tamarack jacket by Marmot. Having owned a precip light rain jacket that FAR exceeded its value at under $100, I was familiar with the performance of Marmot and put my trust into this company once again. They have not failed to come through once again and deliver, as I'm please to declare my upmost approval with this wonderful product. It was tricky, to steer clear of the $500+ gore-tex pro jackets, but I'm so glad I didn't get sucked into the "hype." Membrane creates a perfectly light weight, durable, waterproof/windproof garment. Gore-tex is a great product, but it has been duplicated by other companies and improved and now has competition. Event and Membrane are giving Gore-tex a run for their money.
So far, this is what my jacket has been through and performed flawlessly...
-numerous lengthy uphill hikes (mostly up tiger mountain, and the Issaquah alps) without sweating, even so pit-zips are there in case you do!
-walks with the dog in hard Seattle rain along with gusty winds, remaining completely dry inside and warm
-an accidental brush with a pricker bush while off trail and was caught deep, with little to no rips, scratches, tears for what was certainly a rough encounter with a very sharp blackberry bush. To be honest, I'm very surprised it didn't rip or poke a hole and remained intact. I would not have blamed the jacket should it have ripped as it was completely an idiot mistake trying to navigate through a pricker field...
-a few bike rides, again not breaking a sweat and having great water/windproof
Bottom line, this jacket is awesome...
