The Marmot Women's Rubicon Jacket is completely committed to keeping you warm and dry in the snow-covered winter world. Gore-Tex Performance Shell paired with a CoolMax liner keeps you dry from the inside out. Full seam taping and a powder skirt stand as testaments to the Rubicon's unfaltering stand against the elements. Versatility shows its face in the form of a zip-off hood, ventilating pit zips, and tons of pockets. Zip-in compatibility and pack-friendly reinforced shoulders make the Rubicon impossible to pass up.
Bottom Line: There's no turning back—but you won't have to if you're wearing Marmot's Rubicon Jacket.
This is a really well made beautiful colored jacket that I was really excited to receive and take out to the mountain. However when it came and I tried it on it was way to short than was practical (Im 5' 10") the micropuff that I was going to layer with it stuck out the bottom. Also it looked really boxy and was not very flattering. (even my mom who thinks everything should be plenty big for layering and moving around, agreed.) Fit aside it had really nice features - the inner pockets the sleeve pocket and the zip off hood and felt really cozy. I really wanted to like it but just couldnt make it work.
I shopped, ordered, returned for weeks on Backcountry, and this jacket finally made the cut! It's soft outer shell feels like it's been worn in, but repels water no problem. I live in Aspen, CO and I've used it skiing, to work, and even out at night! The blue is gorgeous, lots of compliments. When skiing I line it with my OR Aria puffy and I've never been warmer without all the bulk. The snow skirt is at the perfect height, plenty of pockets, and the hood is a bonus. I would buy this jacket again in a snap!
I LOVE this jacket. I got it as a tech shell to wear over other layers like my down puffy for ice climbing, mountaineering and skiing so I ordered a medium (5'5", 113lbs) and it fits well for that purpose. Arms are maybe a little long but I *did* size up and I'd rather have them too long than too short! Tons of pockets (yes, hand pockets are too low for a pack or hip belt but not that big a deal) and the construction looks very solid.
Might be too short to wear ice climbing but odds are I wouldn't have it on other than when belaying. It's about hip length on me.
Very pleased.
