Marmot Men's Rom Jacket
The Marmot ROM jacket -- an acronym standing for "range of motion" -- is zonally constructed, with an articulated, snug-yet-movable fit that optimizes both warmth and active movement. It's made of water-resistant, air-permeable M2 softshell material, with Gore Windstopper fabrics to help further protect you from the elements. The company calls this versatile jacket its "Swiss army knife" of softshells, and it's easy to see why -- it has the technical function for a day on the mountain, and the slim styling to transition easily to the city sidewalk.An attached, adjustable hood is water- and wind-resistant, and adjusts via Velcro hood tab and elastic drawstring.FeaturesGore Windstopper material is wind- and water-resistantMarmot M2 softshell offers durable warmthAttached, adjustable hood reduces volume and is secured with a Velcro hood tabERG Hood Adjustment SystemPack Pockets slanted chests pockets can be accessed while wearing a packChest pocket with concealed zipperAsymmetric cuffs with Velcro adjustmentVenting side panelsReflective logosElastic draw cord hem for adjustability in serious weatherAngel-Wing Movement allows full range of motion without jacket riding up28.75-inch center back lengthOne-pound, two-ounce weightGore Windstopper MaterialMarmot's technical garments featuring Gore Windstopper material offer total windproof performance with excellent breathability, combining the comfort of a soft mid-layer and the water resistance of a shell in one garment.

A durable water repellent finish offers additional weather protection.Designed for an active fit, Windstopper garments perform well in outdoor activities such as hiking, backpacking, cycling, hunting, mountain sports, skiing, snowboarding, and trekking in the wind, snow, and rain.Marmot M-series FabricDesigned for moving light and fast, Marmot's M-series materials combine stretchy, water-repellant, abrasion-resistant, breathable shell material with an insulating buffer layer for versatile warmth.

This was where the idea of Marmot, originally a collegiate climbing club, began. Reynolds and Huntley soon began making prototypes of down products such as vests and sleeping bags in their dorm room in Santa Cruz. By the spring of 1973, Reynolds and Huntley partnered with fellow climber Tom Boyce to open a modest rental and retail location, named Marmot Mountain Works, in a 100-year-old building in Grand Junction, Colorado.Their first large order was for 108, as the producer called them, "very puffy jackets" for the movie The Eiger Sanction, with Clint Eastwood, which helped make down outerwear fashionable. In 1976, Marmot was one of the first companies to recognize the value of a new technology being developed by W.L. Gore & Associates. Marmot was soon producing waterproof Gore-Tex sleeping bags, with Reynolds and Huntley testing early prototypes by sleeping in meat lockers and under fire sprinklers, and later introduced the waterproof/breathable fabric into nearly all Marmot products.From humble beginnings, Marmot and its product line have grown over the years, and today the company is headquartered in Rohnert Park, California, with offices all over the world and distribution in more than 60 countries.
