One thing I hate about winter coats is that so many of the best and most functional jackets are bright colors with stripes, zippers and logos everywhere. That's why I recently picked up the Marmot Transit Jacket. It's a great lightweight shell that is a solid color, cut slightly slim and long and is mostly void of unnecessary embellishments. At the same time, it's waterproof (with taped seams), breathable and warm. It has a removable hood that cinches up nicely and has a stiff brim built in. It also has numerous internal pockets, making it a great travel jacket too. Worn alone it's a great jacket for a cool rainy day, worn over a fleece or even a down layer, it's a great shell for the coldest of winter days. It's nearly the perfect jacket for a sophisticated outdoorsman.
And, if you hurry, REI has them marked down to $130 (original price $190) online or in the store.
Going Skiing? No? Then Leave the Ski Jacket at Home.
