Marmot Men's Kingpin Jacket

Top dog, head-honcho, kingpin; all of these work to describe the man on the top! That'd be you of course.

Impervious to wind and very unfriendly to water, the Kingpin Jacket derives its amazing properties from Polartec® Power Shield® fabric, which uses a perforated membrane to effectively manage air permeability and wind resistance, even during strenuous activity. Packed with pro features, it’s also highly abrasion resistant, to deliver years of flawless performance.

POLARTEC® : THERMAL FABRICS The primary insulation layer among experienced outdoor enthusiasts for nearly two decades, Polartec® fabrics are available in a variety of unique textures and weights designed specifically to enhance performance in a variety of environs.

Polartec® Power Shield® Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics feature a smooth, tightly woven face for abrasion resistance without the stiffness and noise of a traditional hard shell. A polyester velour back traps air and provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio. All Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are finished with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) to shed rain and snow. All versions feature spandex or mechanical stretch for freedom of movement. Garments made from Polartec® Power Shield® fabrics are designed to replace traditional fleece and shell systems for most outdoor clothing applications, reducing the weight and number of layers needed to insulate and protect. They are ideal for skiing, snowboarding, climbing and backcountry trekking. They are used in jackets, pants, bibs, hats and gloves. It's outerwear that gets worn, not carried in a pack. Benefits Blocks 98% of the wind Highly breathable Water repellent Extremely abrasion resistant Less noise than a hardshell Stretch for active comfort Warmth without weight Machine washable

Polartec® Windpro® Proprietary yarns and a very tight construction greatly reduce the effects of windchill, the Achilles heel of traditional fleece. We have proven its effectiveness both in the lab and in the field. Polartec® Wind Pro® blocks the wind 4x more than traditional fleece. The Durable Water Repellent outer surface sheds rain and snow. Velour or pebbled inner surfaces efficiently trap air and provide a high warmth-to-weight ratio. Both surfaces of these fabrics are finished for maximum durability and pill-free performance. They retain their insulating ability and original appearance after repeated use and laundering. Because it is not a laminate, Polartec® Wind Pro® is also highly breathable, maintaining 85% of the breathability of traditional fleece to keep you from overheating. Benefits 4 times more wind resistant than traditional fleece Warmth without weight Highly breathable Water repellent Durable Machine washable
