The Marmot Women's Ascend Jacket's water-resistant, windproof, and extremely durable shell keeps you protected from the elements on your next climbing or skiing trip. Marmot constructed this versatile jacket with durable, breathable M1 Softshell fabric to hold up to the abuses of life in the mountains. The Techtonic welded seam construction cuts down on bulk and offers a legitimately seamless fit. A soft brushed lining wicks moisture away from your body, keeping your core temperature regulated and helps the Ascend Jacket fit comfortably over base layers. Use this Marmot softshell alone in mild weather, or wear it under a rain shell when things get wet in the high country.
Bottom Line: Protect yourself from mountain weather with the versatile Marmot Ascend Jacket.
This is the warmest soft shell I have ever put on. The color combination is awesome (brown & vanilla). The pockets are nice and deep. The external pocket is handy. The zippers are reinforced. No wind or rain or snow can get in. I love everything about it except that the sleeves are very long. They come over my wrist about 2 inches. This jacket will provide a warm layer in the winter and the only layer I need in the late fall and early spring.
