Marmot jacket rocks! - Marmot BL Pro Jacket - Men's

I was searching for a practical winter jacket/shell - not for skiing but for Chicago weather. I own other competitive brands, like Arc'teryx and Patagonia. I liked the price point and features of this BL Pro coat -especially since it was already drastically marked down; moreover, days after I ordered it, customer service granted me an additional $40 off because of an online coupon. My interactions with both Chase and Caitlin were informative and fruitful: both representatives are exemplars for Campsaver.

I am 68, 6', & 185 lbs, with 35"- long arms; thus, I'm usually caught between ordering a L or XL. The XL in blue/green piqued my interest. If it matters, my wife and daughter loved the color combination: I do too. Admittedly, even with a base layer, I did have to cinch up the jacket both internally and externally; however, I'd rather have a more comfortable than tight fit.

This is a very durable jacket, with a multiplicity of utilitarian zippered pockets throughout. I really take advantage of having so many places for my wallet, keys, phone, sunglasses, and small garage door opener.

This is one of the best bang-for-the-buck jackets I've ever owned; in addition, Campsaver is truly a stellar company.
