Marmot, a small
Californian company with 30 years of experience in the manufacture of mountain
equipment, specializes in the manufacture of technical garments and accessories
for outdoor sports activities and remains faithful to its slogan "Clothing
As Equipment" or "clothing with reflective
fabric is
part of the material. "
Each garment in
your collection is designed and manufactured as an essential piece of
equipment; Like a piglet, a rope, a helmet or a harness, nothing can fail and
nothing is superfluous or superfluous, only the essential. "Keep it
simple" or "do it simple" is the motto of the Marmot designers
that as we will see is a determining argument in this windbreaker jacket for
runners who like to run on the mountain.
Technical features
and performance:
The Trail Wind of
Marmot is a windbreaker that is characterized by its lightness, barely 120
grams, its pack ability or reduced size once compressed fits in a pocket, its
water repellency and especially for its breathability.
It offers
incredible wind resistance for the fine structure of its fabric that is 100%
Polyester Rip stop and with DWR finish, which repels water from a fine rain and
is also very soft, very pleasant to the touch.
It is stored in
its own pocket, which is located in the chest and has a zipper, on the front
the word Marmot appears in reflective. The same pocket allows you to carry your
mobile phone with earphone output so you can listen to music. It has a hood
that can be adjusted and closed with an elastic closure while running and that
comes very well when the weather becomes adverse.
The cuffs have a
lira elastic termination that prevents the entrance of the wind and the caloric
loss by convection. The waist has an elastic adjustment by fastening easy and
quick adjustment. On the back and on the right sleeve have other reflective
logos
I love its
minimalist design and the performance apart from its power to stop the wind
this jacket stands out for the high breathability of the fabric, which
positively influences the perforated areas that ventilate the areas of maximum
sweating in the armpits and lateral areas under them.
The waist has an
elastic adjustment by fastening easy and quick adjustment. The chest, back and
right sleeve features reflective logos.
The regular fit
more loosely allows carrying underneath a second layer of more volume. The
cuffs have an elastic lira finish that prevents wind from entering.
Its performance
for winds and high breathability of the fabric is that with zones micro
ventilated in areas of maximum perspiration.
Improvement
opportunities:
The regular fit
makes it flutter in the wind and being a windbreaker for use on the mountain,
it would go better with a tighter design, in a "semi fit" or
"athletic" as Marmot calls them, something that we see in garments of
his collection More Racing.
In short, this
Wind Trail is a 2nd layer windbreaker technique, exquisite, light and very
breathable ideal to carry in the reflective material backpack or
simply in the belt of trail running. Thanks to its small volume and extreme
lightness, it fits even in your pocket and is suitable to always carry with us
the mountain, to put us on the descents and as prevention because you never
know what you can find your way out in nature.
