Marmot Alpinist 2011

£400.00

At £400 the Marmot Alpinist is definitely a considered purchase, as it has the highest price tag of those jackets featured, but if you can ignore the price for a moment, then there are some good features. For starters, although it is made from Gore-Tex Pro Shell like many others, it uses what appears to be a more durable version, ...

Marmot Super Mica Jacket 2011

£160.00

The Marmot Super Mica is a beefed-up version of the original Mica, and it benefits from Duralite Zonal reinforcement at the shoulders and hips, which is a particularly neat solution for those who not only want lightweight gear, but also lightweight gear that’s durable. Lightweight fabrics by their very nature aren’t quite as rugged as heavier ones, so to ensure ...

Marmot Crystalline

£170.00

The Crystalline is one of the lightest jackets ou there, but for £170, does it do what it’s designed to do? The fabric feels extremely flimsy, but it is waterproof; and it survived a few tough days in the hills with no sign of tearing. It’s also soft, doesn’t rustle badly when you walk, and is surprisingly breathable, too. The ...

£400.00

The Marmot Alpinist weighs 730g (size M); Gore-Tex Pro Shell; four large chest pockets; pit zips aid ventilation; removable snow skirt; good hood: wired peak and volume adjustment.

Marmot Mica

£100.00

The Mica sacrifices comfort and performance for a light weight and small pack-down size – even with a cavernous hood and Velcro adjustment on the cuffs. The nylon ripstop fabric kept rain out but wasn’t the most breathable, and is also fairly flimsy. It has a good DWR, though, and this prevented any major wetting out even in prolonged rain. ...

Marmot Precip 2010

£65.00

Lightweight trousers cut from a waterproof and breathable fabric that packs down well when not in use. Well-featured, including a selection of pockets and full-length zips that actually make it quite easy to access your normal trouser pockets. They definitely kept the rain out, even in some quite horrible weather, but they didn’t prove quite as breathable as some. They ...

Marmot Nano 2009

£90.00

As the name suggests the Marmot Nano multi-activity jacket is very light at just 240g (size L), and it packs down very small too. In part this is down to the material, Gore-Tex Paclite, which is designed to be packable and lightweight. But equally this is a lighter version of that fabric than some jackets use. Also superfluous features are ...

Marmot Mica/Crystalline 2009

£100.00

When weight really matters the material a jacket is made from plays a major role. For the Mica/Crystalline, Marmot has chosen a 2.5-layer fabric called Membrain Strata, which boasts excellent lab test results so it is rated as extremely waterproof and extremely breathable by Trail. The fabric allows this jacket to weigh in at just over 200g, and yet it ...

Marmot Minimalist

£140.00

The Minimalist is heavier than some so won’t suit real weight watchers, but it has a flattering, contoured fit and comes in vibrant colours. Sadly, the collar isn’t as snug as rivals’ and has only a small amount of fleece to protect your chin. The fairly breathable Gore-Tex fabric will keep you dry and two pit-zips provide adequate venting. The ...

Marmot Spire 2009

£200.00

The Spire is one of Marmot’s new jackets that benefit from an excellent new hood design. It is made from Gore-Tex Performance Shell to keep the price down but is essentially the same as the Marmot Troll Wall, which uses Gore-Tex Pro Shell and has a price tag of £300. Unlike any other jackets here it has a removable snow ...

Marmot Palisades

£170.00

Lovely and snug with soft, rustle-free fabric and fleece-lined collar. Has a wonderfully deep hood, too, but it was really hard to do up properly. An attractive jacket which will keep you totally dry. However, the hood was much too fiddly to do up securely in the wind, and it comes with features for skiing, which many won’t need.VITAL STATSColours: ...

The Marmot Troll Wall is a new jacket that is perfectly designed for the more adventurous UK mountain walker who wants one jacket that does it all.

The Marmot Spire general-purpose jacket is made from Gore-Tex Performance Shell, which saves a little in price without affecting performance too drastically, as while it is not quite as light or breathable as Pro Shell, it is plenty good enough and has the advantage of feeling a little tougher and stiffer, which some users may prefer.

Marmot Glenmore

There’s no better way of designing a mountaineering jacket than asking the folk who use it to give you some feedback. Or is there? The original Marmot Glenmore was designed in 2001 with help from instructors at Glenmore Lodge in the Cairngorms, one of the most respected outdoor centres in the UK. It was updated in 2003, and again for ...
