Marmot Furlong Jacket - Women's Review

Marmot Furlong Jacket - Women's
Average Reviews:

I love this jacket. It is absolutely durable, doesnt collect dirt, very stylish. I wear it with jeans and boots and it has a very feminine shape. But the sizes are a little tight. If you buy a small, it will be too tight to wear with anything underneath, unless its a t shirt. I think it will last forever with proper care.

Though the Women's Furlong Jacket has all the technical features of Marmot's mountain-based softshells, it's happiest kicking around town. With stretch Spirit fabric and Faux Fur trim on the hood, cuffs and hem, the Furlong combines mountain quality with city style. The princess seams and athletic fit of this water-resistant jacket give you the look you want without sacrificing performance. The Furlong is ready for a night out, and if a snowstorm rolls into town you'll be all set.

Columbia Men's Cougar Peaks II Jacket Review

This jacketis NOT a rain jacket and barely considered a windbreaker.It is touted as "water resistant", and yes the fabric is highly water repellent, but the numerous unsealed seams on the shoulders and elsewhere and the exposed zipper allowed water to soak through in a downpour.Even as a windbreaker it's mediocre because you cannot close the back shoulder vent so when the wind is at your back it blows right through you.As for the fabric being breathable, I'd say it's more breathable than a plastic bag but it falls way short of something more sophisticated like Gortex.I found it trapped a lot of condensation.There are no vents in the armpits.

On the up side, it's lightweight and packs small, has a concealable hood, is cut large enough in the sleeves to fit over a fleece jacket or sweatshirt, and does shed light rain/drizzle.And it looks good.But don't be mislead in thinking it's truly a rain jacket or windbreaker because it isn't either.It's just a cheap, "better-than-nothing" jacket to bring along on a day trip or keep in the car for occasional use.

I'm really disappointed by Columbia's products moving towards form over function the past couple years.This jacket is a glaring example.Maybe they'll make the 3rd generation of this jacket better.Or not...

Nothing ruins a gorgeous hike like heavy, waterlogged pants. luckily the thunderstorm ii pant packs down small, so you can throw it in your daypack without a thought. fully seam sealed and made with omni-tech waterproof-breathable material.
