TECHNOLOGY
Marmot M2 Softshell
M2 shells are the ideal balance between weather resistance, breathability and thermal protection. They are appropriate for a wide range of aerobic use in moderate to cold conditions.
Gore Windstopper Softshell
WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shells offer total windproofness and maximum breathability, combining the comfort of a soft mid-layer and the water resistance of a shell in one garment. WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shells keep you comfortable and provide the freedom of movement you need for enhanced performance in a wide range of activities and weather conditions.
Constructed of soft, quiet, stretchy fabrics, WINDSTOPPER® protects your body’s warmth from the chilling effects of wind and weather and prevents overheating and perspiration build-up by allowing moisture vapor to easily escape. The unique WINDSTOPPER® membrane totally stops wind from penetrating the fabric while allowing moisture to escape unhindered for 2X more breathability than comparable windproof products.
With this 3-layer construction, the WINDSTOPPER® membrane is bonded between a high performance fabric such as robust, high-quality stretch polyester on one side, and a quick-drying polyester fleece on the other. The durable water repellent finish offers additional weather protection.
Designed for an active fit, WINDSTOPPER® performs well in outdoor activities, such as hiking, backpacking, cycling, hunting, mountain sports, skiing, snowboarding and trekking in weather conditions, including: strong winds, light snow and rain.

TRANSCRIPT:
Hi my name is Brenton Reagon, I’m a Marmot
Athlete. I’m going to take you on a tour in the Teton back country in my ROM
Jacket.
The Marmot ROM Jacket is a breathable soft
shell. It falls into the M2 category which means it’s windproof yet highly
breathable. It’s made from GORE® WINDSTOPPER® and it has breathable panels
underneath your armpits so if you’re boot packing or skinning it allows you to
let all the hot air out. So I don’t have to unzip too much. Also makes it
lighter so I don’t have to deal with pit zips underneath my jacket. It also has
a nice big storage pocket on the inside so if I need to keep my sunglasses or a
Power Bar or anything else I need quickly, it’s right there and available. It
also has Velcro cuffs, which keep it so that I can keep my gloves and my cuffs
sealed so I can keep all the cold air out. Being a jacket that’s this light and
this breathable and this windproof allows me to be faster in my transitions.
The one thing I learned from skiing with Coombs was you always want to be fast
in your transitions. It allows me to ski down in this jacket, throw my skis on
my pack and take off before anybody else gets ahead of me.
So I’m about to hike up this ridge here
behind me and the ROM Jacket is so breathable I won’t have to change jackets at
all. It’ll allow me to boot pack right up to the top of the ridge without
having to vent or anything. And once I get to the top of the ridge, the GORE®
WINDSTOPPER® fabric will keep me from getting chilled, and I can just go ahead
and just pull the hood up over my helmet and take off. I won’t miss a beat or I
won’t have to slow down at all. Alright, let’s get out of here…
The wind’s really whipping up here today.
They’re saying it’s below 0° wind chill, but I’m not feeling it.
Alright thanks for joining us here in the
Teton back country. We’ve had some pretty good skiing today. We’re looking
forward to a little bit more. So don’t forget – Marmot ROM Jacket. M2 soft
shell; GORE® WINDSTOPPER®; it’s got a nice big hood to go over your helmet;
inside chest pocket to keep stuff warm; breathable yet windproof.
Thank you very much.
