Hi Jesse,

I still use my Marmot. I bought it nine years ago, and it weighs a bit more, but it is indestructable.

Packa.

The Tumalo jacket is selling for $90 over at Mountain Plus Outdoor Gear, and the pants in L, XL for $36... I'm not affiliated in any way, just passing a smoking deal along.

Awesome. Jason, thanks for the timely review. I was just starting to look for a jacket that was a bit more breathable than my Golite Virga. The Tumalo sounds like a winner. I'm looking forward to getting mine - ordered yesterday.

Breck,

WOW, nice deal! That's almost 50% off. You won't be disappointed.

Stick,

I know what you mean about the foam vs. the cordlocks but I've had other jackets with the foam and have never had a problem. I'll keep an eye on them. You're right, micro cord locks don't weigh a thing and are more secure.

Jason, nice review. I too have this jacket and my ...

Jason, nice review. I too have this jacket and my feelings pretty much match yours. The only other thing that I would add is that I swapped the little foam hood cinches with some micro cord locks. I didn't much trust those foam cord locks for much. The new cord locks add zero weight and it was super easy to do.

I've been looking for a new jacket and searched out this one after seeing your review and found it new for $60! I couldn't pass up that type of deal.

Jason, thanks for the write up. I am very interested in this Pertex fabric and I am looking at this jacket as well as the Montane Minimus, so this was very useful information.
