Good Shell Jackets

I'll check out the marmot. Looks like a nice piece. How is the fit? I have broad shoulders and big arms and usually end up getting something that's way too big/long in the torso just to have the extra room for my arms. I hate having the extra fabric below my waist. It's an absolute snow trap on powder days.

Ya sorry, thought I added the name. Great sale, shell keeps me dry and the material is sturdy. Vented pits is always appreciated too.

Bump. Just bought a Marmot Rincon jacket on STP to replace an old Mtn Hardwear shell that was at least 10 yrs old....lost its waterproof effectiveness in anything more than a light drizzle.
On cold days I wear a Columbia soft shell but like the lighter option for warmer/wet days which offers more breathability.

STP is awesome/addictive by the way. Since I got 2 new skis this past summer through them they are relentless and flood my email box with offers for % off and/or free shipping.

Some really nice product available at a great value and if you can avoid impulsive buying you can do quite well.

Got this for $64 shipped after a 25% off and free shipping code.

Update: Used this yesterday in the freezing/plain rain at Sugarbush. Worked out very well--really exceeded my expectations given how hard the liquid precip was coming down. Not super dry but honestly not sure any jacket would be.
My 1st piece of Marmot clothing--they clearly have earned their reputation for quality.

Definitely allowed me to have an enjoyable AM out there. Old EMS System 3 pants were a different story though...soaked through quickly.
About 10 yrs old now---will need to look to replace.
