User Review: Marmot Men's ROM Jacket

Fantastic soft shell for ice climbing!

The two material design allows you to dump heat from under your arms without having any pit zips to snag on double length slings slung over your shoulder while allowing for the windstopper to still keep you warm while moving/standing still for short belays.

Arms and length are a nice cut (I'm 5'9" and a medium is a great fit) so the jacket does not pull out from under my harness nor do my wrists become exposed when reaching and swinging.

Hood is helmet compatible (I use a Petzl Ecrin Roc which is far from streamlined) and fits well without a lot of loose flap

Overall fit is athletic so it does not bunch and make it hard to grab/see screws or draws off your harness when twisting.

I had an old (7 years) Patagonia Dimension shell for years and this jacket is by far my favorite.
