Dri Duck Light Weight Hooded Rain Suit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This suit exceeded my expectations. I backpack every summer in the Rockies. On a 10 day trip, I typically need rain gear for 8 hours or less. In the past, I've always used expensive, heavy Gore-Tex; it sits in the bottom of my pack 80% of the time. Tried DriDucks this year and was very impressed. It's incredibly light, very inexpensive, it breathes well, and is waterproof. Pretty good wind block. Not very durable, but you can repair it with duct tape on the trail, and for the price, it could be considered disposable. I would not use it in a wet climate, but for the Rockies, it's perfect. Would also be good to keep in your boat for occasional summer showers.

Marmot Palisades Jacket - Men's Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this jacket specifically for snowboarding and I am very happy with it.
Almost all the jacket is made of Gore-Tex Pro Shell. It is waterproof, windproof, and wicks internal moisture unlike any other material. If there are better and cheaper materials that does all 3 as well as Gore-tex I don't know about them.
Additionally, the jacket has a thin inline insulation. The insultation is a thin breathable fabric (not fleece). Overall, this jacket is sufficient to keep you warm in most harsh conditions. For example, this jacket was GREAT in a snowy blizzard at Mammoth Mountain at 20 degrees. I was at Mammoth Mountain during its recent record snowfall (it snowed so hard they actually closed down the ski slopes) and I did not get wet or cold, and I was wearing only a polyester-like T-shirt underneath. You probably would need to wear a base layer in more extreme conditions.
Please note, the hood IS stowable into the collar. For some reason, a stowable hood is not part of the jacket's description. The hood can also be unzipped. But to accomodate the stowable hood, the collar is large. The jacket looks MUCH more and in proportion when the hood is stowed instead of unzipped.
As far as fit, the jacket is on the large side so it can accomodate a base layer. If you want a tight fitting jacket that can't accomodate a base layer, then I suggest you order one size lower.
As far as looks, the quality of this jacket is very visually obvious. It isn't as flashy as Arteryx, but you will pay extra for that extra Arteryx quality. I would say this jacket is plenty good for almost everyone who wants to get a jacket for skiing/snowboarding.
