Marmot La Grave Jacket
£300.00
The Marmot La Grave is designed to be the ultimate skiing and boarding jacket. It is constructed from the durable and stylish GORE-TEX® Softshell fabric which is windproof, water resistant and warm. This means that the La Grave is a jacket which will keep you warm and dry in anything other than heavy rain when you'd probably not be skiing anyway. It also features an amazingly comfortable brushed tricot high neck collar, this zips up snugly around your neck to reduce the need for a neck gaiter. The collar, combined with the zip-off powderskirt and removable hood, ensure that snow can't get into the jacket to melt and cool you even in waist deep powder. This is a perfect jacket for alpine and backcountry skiing and boarding.
Stu's Comment
I used a La Grave jacket on holiday last season and was very pleased with it. The first thing I noticed was how warm it was for a softshell jacket. Other softshell jackets I have used like the ME G2 and the Marmot Moran jacket are great when you are moving but not warm enough for standing about in. The La Grave is a bit less breathable than those style of jackets but much warmer and totally wind resistant, much more suited to the stop/start nature of alpine skiing and boarding.
The La Grave is a membrane softshell jacket so the membrane is waterproof and breathable but it is not fully taped so cannot be called a true waterproof. On the other hand it's about 10 times as tough as a waterprof which is handy for when you throw yourself at the floor! I detached the hood and kept it in the pocket but found the high collar great if you were being chilled by the wind on a chairlift, if you hunch your shoulders you can almost get inside the collar. The La Grave jacket is a bit on the heavy side for a multi purpose mountaineering and skiing jacket but fantastic for those that will mainly use it for skiing and boarding.
