Marmot essense rain coat

Review for
Marmot Essence Jacket - Mens
Pros it's light , very comfortable, and packs small and blocks the wind nice.
Cons. It's still a rain coat so it's not all that breathable, even with all the bells and whistles. Too be expected when hiking up hill at a quick pace. I unzip it a bit and wore the hood up higher which let out my extra heat.
Another cool feature is how you can adjust the hood hat brim height. You can raise and lower it which is nice as I hate it when the hood blocks your vision.
It has no side pockets for your hands, but if it did my backpack would have covered them
The vest pocket is nice sized, I could fit my wallet and phone in there. It was tight but they both fit. So the important items stay dry.
The material is quiet and my pack rides well on it.
It's a very well designed and built coat. A lot of thought went into the coat.
I like it.
