Exum Guide Brenton Reagan Reviews the ROM Jacket

TRANSCRIPT:

Hi my name is Brenton Reagon, I’m a Marmot Athlete. I’m going to take you on a tour in the Teton back country in my ROM Jacket.

The Marmot ROM Jacket is a breathable soft shell. It falls into the M2 category which means it’s windproof yet highly breathable. It’s made from GORE® WINDSTOPPER® and it has breathable panels underneath your armpits so if you’re boot packing or skinning it allows you to let all the hot air out. So I don’t have to unzip too much. Also makes it lighter so I don’t have to deal with pit zips underneath my jacket. It also has a nice big storage pocket on the inside so if I need to keep my sunglasses or a Power Bar or anything else I need quickly, it’s right there and available. It also has Velcro cuffs, which keep it so that I can keep my gloves and my cuffs sealed so I can keep all the cold air out. Being a jacket that’s this light and this breathable and this windproof allows me to be faster in my transitions. The one thing I learned from skiing with Coombs was you always want to be fast in your transitions. It allows me to ski down in this jacket, throw my skis on my pack and take off before anybody else gets ahead of me.

So I’m about to hike up this ridge here behind me and the ROM Jacket is so breathable I won’t have to change jackets at all. It’ll allow me to boot pack right up to the top of the ridge without having to vent or anything. And once I get to the top of the ridge, the GORE® WINDSTOPPER® fabric will keep me from getting chilled, and I can just go ahead and just pull the hood up over my helmet and take off. I won’t miss a beat or I won’t have to slow down at all. Alright, let’s get out of here…

The wind’s really whipping up here today. They’re saying it’s below 0° wind chill, but I’m not feeling it.

Alright thanks for joining us here in the Teton back country. We’ve had some pretty good skiing today. We’re looking forward to a little bit more. So don’t forget – Marmot ROM Jacket. M2 soft shell; GORE® WINDSTOPPER®; it’s got a nice big hood to go over your helmet; inside chest pocket to keep stuff warm; breathable yet windproof.

Thank you very much.
