Marmot Men's Rain Jackets & Vests

With its versatile Alpine suspension you can regulate your load to match your pack weight, the terrain, and your movement (climbing, descending, and so on...). Whereas most backpacks from other manufacturers do have equally adjustable strapping methods, the BMG permits for higher specificity and fine tuning, provides a detachable horizontal keep behind the hip belt, and the result is a delightfully simple hiking carry. Seemed good enough: pit zips, new collar design, cuffs and windproof is great. First rain (Portland, OKAY?) the hood leaked on the brim and again. I bought it for Christmas. The DWR is now shot, and the material now soaks within the rain. How do you assessment a jacket? I'm 5'10" so I'm just wondering. Thanks.
