Description of Marmot Oracle Jacket - Men's: |
|
The Marmot Men's Oracle Jacket provides ultra-light waterproof weather protection at an affordable price. With fully taped seams, a removable storm hood, and comfortable DryTouch lining, the Oracle keeps you dry all hike long. This is simply one of the most affordable lightweight, waterproof jackets available. The Oracle is micro-stitched and 100% seam taped. It looks, feels, and performs like any top-of-the-line shell only it's even lighter. This piece retains the superb waterproofing of Marmot's immensely popular Precip Jacket, but it fits and breathes better, with detailing of more expensive shells such as durable stretch fabric in key movement areas. Ideal for serious hiking, light climbing, and backpacking pursuits where nasty weather might be on the horizon.
Bottom Line: The Marmot Oracle Jacket gives you high-end weather protection at a bargain price.

| I am a huge fan of jackets, I can never seem to find one that does all that I want. I was proven wrong once I purchased the Oracle. It works perfectly in conditions such as the UP of Michigan, where one day it is sunny, the next it rains, and the next it snows. When it is sunny out, the Oracle packs very small, is lightweight, and you forget about it easily. When it rains, this jacket does not get clammy, allows you to vent/breathe easily, and keeps you 100% dry. On the final day when it snows, this jacket has a perfect cut which allows a base layer+fleece/softshell to fit perfectly underneath, keeping you dry and warm. The cut of the jacket isn't to big that without layers it looks baggy, but doesn't feel too tight when you are layering up. I could not be happier with this purchase. I got the fire/lava combination and it matches well with my "real red" Marmot gravity softshell and "indigo blue" Marmot Kaba fleece. What can I say, I'm in love with Marmot products! |

| Buying this jacket for a move to South Korea (Monsoon country) was my first experience with both Marmot and this site. With the Oracle's performance and BC's service I'm sold on both. Because SK has a hot, wet season, what I really needed was a jacket that would keep me warm while shedding as much heat as possible, and the Oracle does that. When Winter comes I'll wear it over my TNF Denali fleece.
Warning: Please be aware that this jacket isn't supposed to be warm at all, and it's not. If your day trip turns into an chilly overnighter, you'll need another layer to keep you warm. |

| Not the greatest for extended downpours 05-01-08 |

| I've had my Marmot Oracle for a few years now, and it has kept me dry more times than I can count. I wear it while commuting by bike in heavy rain (on trips no more than 10 minutes long) and during short rainfalls while canoing and backpacking. I love how light and packable it is - I can throw it in my backpack or messenger bag when it isn't needed and completely forget about it. I wish it could stuff into one of its own pockets, but I've ended up using a separate stuff sack and have had no problems. I will finally be upgrading from the Oracle due to an unpleasant experience I had last summer. While backpacking in the Smokies, the heavens opened up and we faced a complete downpour during an 8-mile exit hike. This is the only time the Oracle failed to keep me dry, but was by far the longest I had tested it in heavy rain. I think for my next jacket I will look for something with a Gore-Tex membrane to keep me dry. If you are on a somewhat restricted budget and aren't planning on being in rainstorms for hours on end, this jacket will treat you well. However, if you are like me, and prefer a bit more protection, I'd recommend spending a little more dough and hopping on the Gore-Tex bandwagon. |
