Product Description

The Marmot Men's Essence Jacket is so light, you'll feel the essence of wearing a jacket (you'll stay dry), without feeling the substance of an extra layer. It's lighter than even Marmot's original PreCip jacket, which makes it ideal for packing in preparation for mid-spring thunderstorms. An attached adjustable hood, PreCip Plus fabric, and welded seams create a waterproof barrier. Reflective highlights keep you visible should oncoming traffic prove a problem, and a chest pocket lets you stash an extra energy gel or credit card.

Colors/Size

Autumn, Fire, Indigo Blue, Tempest...I thought they wear larger than I like and traded a medium in for a small. I am not going to wear much underneath this kind of light weight product. Mostly using it as a wall jacket in the desert.

Essence Jacket

Voted 5/5

Hardcore super light weight taped hooded emergency product. I like the elastic cuffs vs velcro type on the precip. Never owned the precip jacket, but of course same material here. Hood made to go over helmet. Sizes seem to be large to me, I traded in a medium for a small. I personally would never layer under this much, will be used as a long multi pitch desert jacket for me.
