Marmot Mica Waterproof Jacket Mens Black

The Marmot Mica Jacket is a regular winner of prestigious design awards, and couldnt be much lighter and still be called a jacket. The Mica is made for travelling light in tough conditions but still packs in the features. Thanks to MemBrain Strata fabric and 100% taped seams the Mica keeps the elements out but stays highly breathable. The main zip is water resistant and with Velcro adjusters on the cuffs and a simple hem drawcord the whole jacket forms a protective shell completed by the attached adjustable hood. The Marmot Mica weighs in at under 200g, making it ideal for wild camping or as a lightweight jacket for the inevitable British downpour on a day walk. Trail Magazine, October 2009........When weight really matters the material this jacket is made from plays a major role. So 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 still has a hood and pockets and a full-length zip. The hood has a volume adjuster, face drawcords and a stiffened peak. It fits well too. The pockets on the hip are large enough for an OS map and have zipped access. There is also Velcro adjustment at the cuffs and a hem drawcord. That is a lot of features for the weight and the price of just 100. So this looks like it could be ideal for those who want to travel light in gear terms, but not in wallet terms!
