A worthy gear upgrade can be enjoyed with the Marmot Range of Motion (ROM) softshell jacket.  Fashioned with Marmot M2 Softshell material and GORE Windstopper technology, you get a hooded alpine jacket that offers protection from wind and those annoying little rain drops that tend to fall with increasing ferocity at times, often right in the middle of your high country excursion.

Right now, the Northern Colorado weather is fixing to change from hot to cool up in the Rockies. Evenings are getting chilly, and overnight temps are looking to the 50’s. Soon early mornings are going to be frosty. Throw in any dose of wind and it’ll be time for layering up a bit. At an MSRP of $185, the Marmot ROM jacket is a great end-of-summer alpine cover to have in your day-pack for those late season romps above timberline and headlamp guided scrambles back to the trailhead after dark.

If you order a size larger than your street-clothes size, ROM is roomy enough to get your apparel layers underneath or a light down sweater under its breathable shell. Some folks think a softshell doesn’t offer much warmth when used alone over a light shirt. That depends on the individual. But if you are moving, hiking, climbing, and generally burning calories, the softshell gets warm as you want it to be.
