    I just bought a Marmot Ion from Sierra Trading post for $21.50 + $5.95 shipping. They have it already marked down to $31.50 but you can use a $10 new user sign up coupon. The $10 coupon saves you $2 on shipping since its based on order total. Both mens and womens are available in limited sizes and colors.

    If the jacket stops the wind and light rain I will be happy! The weight should be incredible not to mention pack size.

    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

    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.

    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.
