OUTSTANDING AND VERSATILE JACKET
Jacket is well made and fits comfortably. Shed rain and snow like Marmots high end alpine jackets plus has the ability of using the included insulation layer or your favorite sweater or vest. I wear it in Alaska, where I live, and have found it to be extremely versatile for skiing or on the water.

Nice one
Great fit, excellent jacket. Had the older model from about 5 years ago and got the updated one. Both jackets are awesome.

Great Value — Can’t Wait to Test It This Wi
Picked this up during a summer sale, so I haven’t had a chance to wear it in cold or wet conditions yet — but first impressions are really solid. The materials feel high quality, the zippers and seams are well made, and the 3-in-1 system looks like it'll be super versatile for different weather situations. Tried it on and the fit is true to size with enough room for layering. The shell is lightweight but feels durable, and the insulated liner is warm and comfortable. I also like that the hood is adjustable and helmet-compatible. Looking forward to putting it to the test once the colder weather hits — but so far, it seems like a great value for the price I paid.

Awesome
I bought its predecessor 10 years ago. And this one is just as good. I’ll have to wait and see if it’s better.

Decent update of a classic
This is my third one of these shells- two earlier pre-Goretex versions. The earlier versions had heavier outer fabric which was durable but also absorbed water. This new one is lighter, more crinkly, and a better barrier. Stains easily though- any oily substance (like sunscreen) shows and is hard to clean. Zippers seem solid. Double chest pockets cause front to drape a little oddly. Old version had a Velcro tab to stow hood, new version has an avalanche reflector instead. Snow skirt stows better than old version. Haven’t been able to test liner in winter conditions yet. Overall decent update and a good bargain on clearance.

A great coat with a few areas for improvement.
I purchased this jacket to replace a Marmot Bastion Component 3-in-1 jacket that I purchased in 2008. The seems like a reasonable replacement though with a few drawbacks. First, the things that are great: the Gore-Tex is a trusted product and it sheds water quite well and breathes as good as any membrane. Definitely a nice upgrade. The design, cut, and quality all seem top notch. This will likely be another 15-year coat for me. The pocket placement is generally good. The hood adjustment points are perfectly placed. The sleeves are an ideal length. So much to love about this jacket. Three drawbacks keep me from giving it 5 stars: 1. This coat is heavy. The Bastione was no lightweight, but the outer waterproof layer is one of the heaviest non-insulated coats I've owned. (I know my subsequent complaints are about lack of zippers which just add weight, but it is really the outer shell that seems unreasonably heavy - likely a feature of the Gore-Tex.) 2. There are no pit-zips in the insulating inner layer - a downgrade from the older Bastione. I tend to sweat easily, and additional ventilation would be nice. 3. The end of the sleeves have a weird sort of rolled cuff which can look a bit wonky. Not sure the design reason for it, and it isn't a big deal, but it leaves an open question as to whether or not the sleeve is straight. 4. It would be nice to have a chest pocket on the internal, insulated jacket for when wearing it separately. That is the only thing that makes you nice you are wearing part of a 3-in-1 rather than a stand-alone synthetic puffy.
