Marmot was among the first in the outdoor industry to use Gore-Tex, with that early start they have continued to use Gore-Tex in many of their outdoor products. The reasoning is simple there is not a stronger, wind stopping, water proof material out there. Marmot clothing and sleeping bags go hand in hand to create a complete comfort zone for your body. There is no greater commitment in the industry to keeping your body warm, dry and comfortable.
When Marmot says their gear is "For Life" they aren't kidding. I've spent hundreds of nights out in the wild with Marmot down and Precip products and they've never failed me. Ever. Marmot prides itself on using the highest quality materials and construction techniques. It shows.
My Marmot down jacket has served me in the high peaks of Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, the New England states and Nepal. If there's a chance I'll need it, my Marmot jacket stays stashed in my pack. Luckily, it compresses down to nothing, so I hardly notice it's there. Plus it makes a great pillow!
