DESCRIPTION

The essence of backpacking is getting out into the elements. When those elements turn cool and wet, grab the Marmot Essence Jacket from your pack and charge on. Marmot made this minimalist jacket with waterproof breathable MemBrain Strata fabric to prevent rain from soaking your base layers. Its fully taped seams keep water and melting snow from dripping down the fabric and sneaking in through the joints, and its highly water-resistant front zippers keep the jacket sealed tight. Weighing in at just six ounces, this simple, compressible rain shell won't force you to attempt complicated mathematical equations in order to figure out a way to fit it in your pack.
