Marmot Ion wind shirt / light rain jacket

Top notch company – believe it or not, their customer service and return policy is almost as good as REI's. I've been a customer for about 15 years – bought my first down sleeping bag from them and still have it.

I just ordered one. This will be my first try at the whole windshirt concept.

Same here its my first wind shirt. I like the full zipper and low weight. I am hoping this will be waterproof enough for non torrential downpours.

Good luck with the Ion. I got one a few years ago at REI's super clearance for $15, wore it a few times and returned it. Might as well have been wearing a garbage bag. A disgrace to Marmot's brand. Spent $75 on a houdini and have been happy ever since.

Paul many of the reviews were very positive or negative. I think comes down to what year/version you have. It looks as if Marmot has changed fabrics 2-3 times since version one. I have no idea how well this one will work but for $22.50 + shipping I’m willing to take a chance.

Edit:

It looks like Benjamin Tang had some good info on the changes between 06 & 07. see here

The key code 2adventure will get you and additional 20% off :)

Dale unfortunately that coupon isn't and additional 20% off so it ends up being more $ than the $10 coupon. You cant use the two together.

we'll see how it goes…

I like everything about it except it is too short for me. I am 6 4; and it is not quite long enough 4 me.

I think I will add an elastic cord inside the bottom hem to seal it off. That might help a little

I got my medium today and it came in at 137.9g or 4.86 oz! I'm tall & thin but this size fits well. It could be a little longer in the body but the sleeves and hood are great.

I added a draw cord around the waist. It now brings my XL to 6oz (5 before cord)

I like it alot better now that I can seal it up.
