Marmots quest to design, build and test the best outdoor gear in the world began simply. In April 1971, University of California
Santa Cruz students Eric Reynolds and Dave Huntley were in Alaska on the Juneau Iceelds on a school project in Glaciology. They
felt that their gear was not suited to the harsh conditions that surrounded them.
That summer and through the semesters until 1973, Eric and Dave made prototypes of down producst in their dorm room in Santa
Cruz. Their rst products were a down vest, a sweater and a parka and, later, three down sleeping bags.
history & heritage
1971: The Marmots
Marmot began as a simple club
that evolved in the early 1970s into a
small down bag manufacturer.
1974: Marmot HQ
Marmot set up business in Grand Junc-
tion, CO - building gear in the back and
selling it in the front.
1975: Hollywood Calls
Soon after opening for business, a call
came in for 108 down jackets. Marmot
quickly added jackets to the collection.
The Marmot Factory
Marmots rst products were down bags
and Marmot still produces them today in
our California HQ.
The Marmot Line
The early Marmot collection was little
more than a few sleeping bags, some
jackets and a t-shirt.
Product Testing
Marmot has always relied on professional
users to help design, test and improve
the products we build.

Eric did a winter ascent of the Grand Teton in Wyoming with Tom Boyce of Grand Junction, Colorado in 1973. Eric and Dave joined
Tom in Colorado that next Spring. There, the threesome rented a 100 year old stone building near downtown that used to be a
grocery store, and opened a rental and retail shop under the name of Marmot Mountain Works. They taught cross-country skiing in
the winter to get by. Thus, in the spring of 1974, Marmot the company was born.
Marmot endeavors to provide outdoor gear that is authentic, innovative and technical. in every area of business practice we engage,
we passionately seek the highest level of quality, performance, sustainability and value.
The Golden Mantle
Hence the Golden Mantle was born to
fulll Marmots largest order for the lm,
The Eiger Sanction.
1976: Early GORE-TEX
Marmot is the oldest supplier of GORE-

TEX
garments in the outdoor industry.

Lifetime Warranty
Marmot has always stood behind our prod-
ucts with an iron clad lifetime warranty.
For Life
Marmot remains committed to our original
mission to equip those who wish to climb
and explore.

MARMOT CUSTOMER REVIEW
I bought this jacket at the end of last ski season and have worn
it in almost every condition and it hasnt let me down yet. I have
used it layering on -20F degree days and it is a great shell. I
have used it on cool spring days as a rain jacket as well as sum-
mer rain storms, although they get a little warm. Great buy.

The GORE-TEX
membrane is the heart of all GORE-TEX
products.
It is completely wind and waterproof, but permeable for water vapor.
The result: Water from the outside will never penetrate, cold winds
cannot pass through and perspiration can escape easily. This is
why your body always stays dry and comfortable with GORE-TEX

products.
Technical Description:
The GORE-TEX
membrane contains over 1.4 billion microscopic

pores per square cm (9 billion per inch). These pores are 20,000
times smaller than a water droplet, but 700 times larger than a water
vapor molecule, which makes the GORE-TEX
membrane completely
waterproof from the outside, while allowing perspiration to escape
from the inside. An oleophobic (or oil-hating) substance is integrated
into the membrane, preventing the penetration of body oils and insect
re-pellent that could otherwise affect the membrane.

EXTREME CONDITIONS

MARMOT MEMBRAIN
Proprietary PU lm laminate. Balances the best performance in

breathability, waterproofness, and water repellency with excellent
durability. The hydrophilic nature of the PU lm reduces internal
condensation and increases comfort range by reducing the chilling
effect caused by converting condensation build up back into vapor.
Exceptional moisture vapor transmission up to 27,000gr
Less condensation - moisture movement due to hydrophilic lamina-
tion and increased MVT
Thermal protection - when your clothing system is drier, you stay
warmer.
Waterproofness: 40+ PSI 20,000mm
Water Repellency: Spray test 80/100
Breathability: Hohenstien Ret: 2 layer - 6 or less
JIS L-1099 B1: 2 layer - >25,000 gr/m/24 hours

MARMOT MEMBRAIN

STRATA
Marmots proprietary 2.5 layer lamination uses very small non-organic particles
layered on top of Marmot MemBrain
that prevents the membrane from direct

abrasion and creates a very dry touch. The back print pattern is carefully designed
to achieve the maximum durability and breathability. Abrasion tests rate 4-5 times
better than regular MemBrain
(which is why regular MemBrain, as well as all

2-layer laminates require a separate lining).
Compared to other brands of 2.5 layer coatings in the market, our 2.5 layer lamina-
tion is about 100% more breathable. In addition, laminated stretch fabrics stretch
more and have a softer hand than 2.5 layer coated fabrics.
Lightweight .5 protective layer reduces skin contact eliminates
need for lining or 3L

Understanding Waterproof /
Breathable Technologies
COATINGS VS. LAMINATES:
COATINGS (ie. PRECIP
)
Liquid polyurethane is painted onto the face fabric. Two types of coatings are
used:
Microporous - Hydrophobic, includes tiny pathways small enough to
prevent water from entering but large enough for water vapor to pass
through. Pores are created in 1 of 2 ways:
1. Large Hole Method - Chemical in PU that washes out after
drying. Sometimes called Foam Method.
2. Small Hole Method SiO2 particles are mixed into the PU and
leached out during drying. Smaller holes are formed around
larger pores adding to the breathability.
Monolithic - Solid and hydrophilic

- Water is attracted to coating, adsorbed, then diffused into the
next layer.
- Reduces condensation inside the garment.
PreCip
is considered a bi-component technology. We use both a microporous and

monolithic coating in PreCip
garments.
LAMINATED (MEMBRAIN
, STRATA
& GORE-TEX
)
The heart and sole of laminates is a membrane layer bonded to a face fabric like
wallpaper to a wall. Two types of laminates mostly used:
1. Polyurethane Film (PU)
Mostly used in proprietary laminations ( Non-Gore)
Depending on chemical make-up can provide wide variation in
performance characteristics and prices.
Film is bonded (like wallpaper) to face fabric. Generally it
is used in conjunction with a third layer (bonded or hung) to
protect the membrane.
Offers enhanced breathability, waterproofness, and provides
better platform for stretch fabrics.
2. ePTFE (expanded polytetraouroethylene) - GORE-TEX
and eVent
GORE-TEX
products are waterproof even in the wettest condi-

tions and after extreme use.
Cold winds cannot pass through and destroy the microclimate
next to your skin, which ensures that you dont get cold.
Perspiration can evaporate easily so that even in cases of
extreme physical exertion, humidity is not trapped inside the
clothing system.
Engineered to be durable for the intended end use of the
garment.
MICA JACKET WINS NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
BEST OF ADVENTURE GEAR AWARD
Marmots ultra-light Mica Jacket has been awarded the
2009 Best of Adventure Gear by the editors of National
Geographic Adventure Magazine.
This highly functional and elegantly designed jacket is part
of Marmots growing category of lightweight waterproof,
breathable shells for men and women. It also is the corner-
stone of the companys new MemBrain Strata -- a new
2.5 layer laminated technology.

At Marmot, its not only whats on the inside, but whats on the
outside of our shells that matter. Think of nishing technologies as
the shells rst line of defense from rain, snow and ice.
MARMOT DEFENDER - is a revolutionary nano-technology that can be ap-
plied to fabrics to add the following characteristics:
Water repellency
- Long term durability - 80/100 Spray Test
- Better resistance to pressure and friction ( Key Feature:
works better and longer in the eld)
Oil and Stain repellency
- Virtually self cleaning: oil, ketchup, coffee, red wine
just roll right off
Soil release
- Dirt and grime wont penetrate so they wash off easier
Inspired by nature: certain plants and insects wings stay clean and dry because
dirt and water cannot adhere to their surface, ie: the Lotus leaf. Defender applies
nano particles, made of specially processed silica (sand) at the molecular level
right into the bers to mimic the structured surface of the Lotus leaf.
Used in: The entire Shelled DriClime collection

DWR - DURABLE WATER REPELLENCY
The durable water-repellent nish increases the surface tension on the face fabric
of your garment allowing water droplets to bead up and roll off. While not able to
withstand much water pressure it will help keep the shell fabric from saturating
and reduce the internal condensation; keeping you drier and warmer.
Performance in the eld vs wash test performance: the Holy Grail of DWR is to nd
a nish that wont wash out, perform for a long period in the eld and not stiffen
the fabric or add excessive weight.
DWR TESTING: DWR nishes are tested against washing to show a compari-
son of which DWR will last the longest. This is the Spray Test rating. This test is
a good barometer of how much of the DWR chemical is being put onto a fabric.
However, this test is not indicative of how long the DWR nish will stay repellent
while in use in the eld. Results are given by the % of the fabric still beading up
after spraying water on the fabric after washing. For example: 80/20, this means;
80 points (or %) after 20 washing. 80/20 is the standard for high level DWR.

DWR - long lasting uorine based resins. A Marmot standard for shell fabrics.
Spray test - 80/20.
Used in: GORE-TEX
, MemBrain
, PreCip
WR - a basic ouro-carbon based resin with Spray test 70/10.

Used on linings were DWR is less critical.
nishing technologies
To maintain highest DWR performance we recommend washing
with low surfactant and easily rinsed cleaning products (powdered
detergent). High surfactant detergents (liquid detergents) can leave
residues which breakdown the surface tension of water and defeats
the effectiveness of any DWR nish. DO NOT use fabric softeners.
Grangers makes excellent products for the care of outdoor products.
When you come in from the rain, toss your jacket in the dryer for 20
minutes on medium heat instead of letting it hang dry, this will reacti-
vate the DWR and water will again bead up and roll away.
DONT BE AFRAID OF THE DRYER!

Versatility
A Softshell for All Seasons
Our softshell collection is conceived and
designed to accomodate a wide range of
weather conditions and uses. From high-
energy trail runs in spring to extended hikes
in cold and wet winter wildernesses, these
jackets cover the entire spectrum of outdoor
performance. To help you narrow your
choices, weve categorized them into three
groups, each characterized by specialized
fabrics and user-specific designs.
Jackets in this category are
best for use in cold and wet
conditions with low or intermittent
aerobic output, such as alpine,
sidecountry and long backcountry
hikes, or for when the weather
turns nasty at home.
These jackets are best for
moderate to cold conditions that
are drier with more moderate
aerobic output, such as spring
skiing, or cold weather day hikes.
M3 jackets are best for mild, dry
climates with very high aerobic
output, such as trail running or
alpine climbing.

Super Hero Jacket reviewed by Fabrizio Zangrilli
The Superhero helped me act like one on Pumori. While guiding on the south
ridge in November of 2008 I was involved in the rescue of a very seriously injured
climber - broken ribs, arm, scapula, punctured lung and severe head trauma.
Rescues at high altitude are not times to care about the wear and tear on clothes,
but I was really happy at the preformance that the Superhero gave, it took serious
abuse and took it well. I managed to lower the injured climber 900m by myself
and then piggy back and porter them to the nearest village, Gorak Shep, in 10
hours, alowing for a helicopter rescue the next morning that saved their life. The
jacket stood up to crampons, axes, rock, scree and alot of rope wearing against
it. The importance of clothes are sometimes underestimated, the Superhero
was dynamic enough to allow me total freedom of movement while lowering the
injured climber, very breathable - important because I didnt stop for water the
whole day and if I had been over heating ten hours of effort would have been
impossible - and durable enough to withstand the abuse. I am glad that was my
outer layer that day! ~ Fabrizio Zangrilli, First to lead a professionally guided
expedition to K2

Our denition of Softshell includes the 6 following characteristics in
varying degrees.
Durability - Abrasion resistance
Stretch comfort t
Breathability - Moisture Vapor Transmission, Air Permeability
Wind resistance
Water resistance
Thermal protection
Of these factors, Water resistance, Wind resistance, Thermal protec-
tion and Breathability will be the factors that most determine the
positioning of the garments. Stretch and Durability are common to all.
Softshell Technologies
Marmot uses three fabric types with hybrid garment construction to
offer the most complete and compelling softshell assortment.
Fabric types:
1. Laminates with lm

2. Laminates with partial or no lm

3. Double Weaves
A laminate, you recall is constructed by uniting two or more layers of material
together, usually with something between the layers and sealing them with heat
and/or pressure, generally an adhesive. Selecting different laminates, either with
or without a lm in the middle can increase or decrease wind protection, water
resistance and air permeability.
1. LAMINATES WITH FILM
Used in Marmots M1 and M2 softshells, these fabrics utilize full lm lamination
technology and offer excellent stretch, are wind proof, highly water resistant and
breathable. M1 series garments offer more water resistance and insulation than M2
and M3 softshells. This fabric is excellent for intermittent aerobic activities.
WINDSTOPPER
Every square inch of the WINDSTOPPER
membrane contains 1.4 billion micropores.

This structure is ultra-light, ultra-thin, and highly resistant to extreme temperatures.
The microporous structure of the WINDSTOPPER
membrane is breathable; wind

resistant, but moisture vapor can easily escape.
Water Resistant 20 PSI initial, high water resistance not waterproof
Breathability Softshell - avg 6-8 Ret
Wind resistance <2 CFM
2. LAMINATES WITH PARTIAL OR NO FILM
Used in Marmots M2 softshells, these fabrics utilize partial lm lamination technolo-
gy, are air permeable and highly wind proof. They provide moderate water resistance,
excellent stretch, and are highly breathable. Styles in this category are excellent for
intermittent and moderate aerobic activities.
Polartec
Power Shield
Power Shield
technology utilizes a perforated membrane that can control the

amount of wind resistance and air permeability. The key to Power Shield
fabric
is that the perforated membrane allows a wider range of comfort in aerobic and
sweaty conditions. Power Shield O2
is more air permeable, making it ideal in the

backcountry, ( Fall 2010 only).
Durable - stretch woven face resists abrasion
Air Permeable - Patented perforated membrane
96-98% Windproof: 8 16 CFM
2% Air permeability (Power Shield O2
is 4%)
3. DOUBLE WEAVES
Used in Marmots M3 softshells and offer excellent stretch, wind resistance, and
maximum breathability. This fabric is excellent for high aerobic activities.
Double weave is a type of woven textile in which two or more sets of warps and one
or more sets of weft or lling yarns are interconnected to form a two-layered cloth.
This is why the front and back of a fabric can look different and have varied surface
textures. This construction method creates fabrics with a range of wind resistance
and insulation characteristics.
Hybrid Construction
This refers to the use of fabrics from one or more categories of fabrics to create our
versatile softshells. Windproof and highly water resistant fabrics for the shoulders,
arms and front. Lighter weight fabrics are used under the arms and back where more
breathability is needed.
Our Hybrid Construction allows us to combine fabrics with and without lm
technology to create most of the M2 category of garments.

What causes odor in base layer products?
The odor we smell is actually the bacteria efuent, (or bacteria poop, if you will),
composed primarily of ammonia and other yucky stuff. This is our own skin bacteria
that transfers to the textile and starts breeding. You can think of your base layer as a
breeder reactor for bacteria, they like it warm and moist.
Previously there were only two ways to prevent this; blow up the reactor or stop the
breeding process. Blowing up the reactor means killing all the bacteria in the sur-
rounding area, including the bacteria on your skin. Stopping the breeding process
occurs locally on the textile and does not migrate to the skin. Allowing the bacteria
on our skin to maintain their natural balance.
A new way to ght odor adsorb it.

COCONA

As part of our efforts to nd more eco-friendly, UpCycled
materials, Cocona rep-

resents the latest in multi-functional technology thru natural, non-synthetic means.
Cocona is an activated carbon made from coconut shells. Activated carbon is the
most effective odor-eliminating substance known to man. We have all seen this from
water lters to cat box lters. Phew, do those cat boxes stink.
Activating carbon creates additional pores in the carbon molecules providing an
enormous increase in surface area: about 1.5 football elds worth in one garment.
Coconut shells are ideal due to their unique pore size and structure. Much better
than wood or other activated carbons. Nano particles of this activated carbon are
then added to polyester or nylon in the creation of the yarn.
ADsorption the adhesion, in an extremely thin layer, of molecules to the surface of
solid bodies with which they are in contact with.
ABsorption to suck up. The molecules are taken up into the internal network of
the absorbing material. It is harder to evaporate after absorption.
HOW IT WORKS: activated carbon has a vastly increased surface area which
attracts and adsorbs (accumulates) gases or liquids on the surface, not absorbing
them into the material itself. Unlike most anti-microbials, Cocona does not kill the
bacteria, but adsorbs the odors as a gas.
CARE AND FEEDING: Eventually the Cocona will reach saturation, the
activated carbon can then be refreshed in the home laundry or by putting it in a
medium hot dryer (about 160 degrees) for about 20-30 minutes. The heat vibrates
( Brownian Motion) the odor molecules so that they detach from the Cocona, leav-
ing the Cocona ready to adsorb more smelly stuff. Non-scent detergents and
not using dryer sheets is recommended.
NOTES:
UV heres a good one for the Tech Geeks: Activated carbon is a black substance
and has a wide UV absorption spectrum. The light energy is absorbed and then
released through the rotational/vibrational relaxation of the activated carbon
molecules.

activated carbon is a by-product

which is too small for use in water lters.
ATTRIBUTES:
Moisture management Due to the extensive surface
area of the Cocona bers, moisture is pulled away from
the skin and spread out over a greater area where it
accelerates the evaporation process.
Cocona fabrics and yarns with activated carbon have
up to 45% better moisture transfer, and adsorption
then the leading Moisture Management Brand.
Odor management Cocona adsorbs odors naturally.
Odors emanated from the wearer, inherent in the fabric,
and present in the surrounding environment are at-
tracted to and trapped within the pores of the carbon.
Odor molecules are released and the carbon renewed
when you wash and dry your garments.
UV resistance Activated carbon embedded within
the yarn of various fabrics absorb harmful rays and
provides a shield between your skin and damaging UV
radiation with no negative effects on your body.
Cocona fabrics and Cocona yarns feature an Ultra-
violet Protection Factor ( UPF) of up to 50+ depending
upon the construct of the fabric.

ANTIMICROBIAL COCONA
Not effective against existing odors (smoke, body, etc...) Odor molecules are adsorbed onto the surface of the activated carbon
Chemical Exposure All Natural - activated carbon is made from coconut shells
Some treatments can wash out over time and loose their effectiveness Carbon is reactivated during regular machine wash and dry cycles

While some cool their heels in springtime, others are just getting warmed up. Weve assembled a lightweight, packable outdoor collection that
amounts to a complete wardrobe for spring and summer adventures.
This action-oriented clothing caters to hard-chargers who dont want their wardrobe to slow them down. Designed expressly for layering, with
fabrics that wick moisture, dry quickly, and offer terric UPF protection, these garments are great for running, riding, hiking, climbing, or any
other activity that calls for sweat, muscle, and determination.

Lining
DRICLIME P-275 a plaited bi-component denier gradient tricot knit made
of two distinct layers of 100% polyester yarns. The layer next to your skin has a
brushed surface, which decreases the surface area, allowing for greater movement
of perspiration to the outer layer.
The outer layer has a special lament yarn with an open capillary structure, which
powerfully pulls moisture away from the body and allows it to spread out and evapo-
rate. Unlike cotton, the moisture is never absorbed into the ber where it would take
longer to dry.

When is stretch a bad thing? When you line a jacket. Thats why
Marmot DriClime jackets use a warp knit fabric on the inside of every
Shelled DriClime garment. Warp knits do not stretch, so you can slide
your arm into the sleeve easier than fabrics that stretch.
A Marmot exclusive, the concept combines the awesome
3-dimensional wicking of DriClime brushed tricot with a wind-resistant,
highly breathable shell.
A Shelled DriClime garment can be worn next to the skin as a wicking
baselayer, layered with other garments as mid-layer insulation, or worn
alone as a low-bulk, one-piece performance
system for heavy sweating. It denes versatility.

Protection from the Sun
With the Ozone layer decreasing, the protection from the UV rays has
become increasingly important. There are different types of ratings and
degrees that can help us to determine what the best is. At times there is
confusion in the ratings, so we hope this will help you.
Clothing is rated for its level of UV protection according to an Ultraviolet Pro-
tection Factor or UPF. This is a similar rating to the SPF used with sunscreen
except that it addresses UVA and UVB whereas SPF only covers UVB. Most
dermatologists recommend clothing with a UPF 25 or higher rating. Accord-
ing to American guidelines the highest rating is UPF 50+.
The standard for a label UPF indicates certain UV protection categories
set-up by the AATCC
15-24 are classied and labeled as having Good UV protection
25-39 are classied and labeled as having Very Good UV protection
40-50+ are classied and labeled as having Excellent UV protection
A garment with a UPF of 50 only allows 1/50th of the UV radiation falling
on the surface of the garment to pass through it. In other words, it blocks
49/50ths or 98% of the UV radiation.

ORGANIC COTTON
Organic cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the
environment. Third-party certication organizations verify that organic producers use
only those methods and materials allowed in organic production.

POLYNOSIC/ MODAL
Polynosic is a processed bio-based textile made from reconstituted cellulose from the
beech tree. Polynosic is considered a type of rayon. While rayon may be made of the
wood pulp of a number of different trees, polynosic uses only beech wood. Polynosic
yarn/fabrics are not open end, ring spun and are not harmful to the environment.
Like other types of rayon, originally marketed as articial silk, polynosic is soft,
smooth and breathes well. Its texture is similar to that of cotton or silk.
Polynosic may be used on its own or in a blend with cotton, spandex, or other textiles.
In many ways, polynosic acts like cotton, but it also has some signicant advantages
over cotton. Textiles made from polynosic are resistant to shrinkage and fading. Poly-
nosic is also less likely to form pills as a result of friction. Its smoothness also makes
hard water deposits less likely to adhere to the surface, so the fabric stays soft through
repeated washings.
NYLON
A man-made ber with a multitude of uses, and well suited for clothing. Durable, excel-
lent abrasion resistance, quick drying and lightweight.
POLYESTER
Also a man-made ber well suited for clothing, especially when mixed with other
bers such as cotton or nylon. Polyester fabrics are quick drying, lightweight and wick
moisture.
POLYPROPYLENE
Polypropylene has great chemical and stain resistance compared with polyester and
other bers, and is much lighter, thereby providing better coverage with less garment
weight and ber content. It provides better insulation than all other bers and has
excellent toughness and abrasion resistance making this perfect for outdoor activities.
It outperforms all other bers in low moisture absorption, providing the fastest drying
garments in the industry.

WHAT IS ORGANIC COTTON?
Organic Cotton elds must be fallow for more than 3 years
Sterilant cant be used on the seeds.
Herbicides, insecticides and defoliants are not allowed.
Organic Cotton and Conventional Cotton elds must be kept separate.
Organic farming in India
Living soil is the basis of the organic farm: free of toxic chemicals for at least three
years and enriched by compost and other organic matter.
The concept is simple: vigorous plants resist insects, weeds and diseases better
than those under stress due to repeated chemical applications.
By working with nature to create a diverse farm ecosystem, you produce optimal
growing conditions.
The eld is a bug eat bug world, in which a natural enemy complex of predator
and parasite insects keep pests in check.
Pest infestations are seen as messengers of elds out of balance, rather than
signals for chemical spray programs.
The organic world view requires more eyes to the acre, walking elds to catch
potential problems early, sometimes substituting hand labor for chemical- oriented
solutions.
Mills charge more due to loss of time in closing down machines to clean before
running organic.
Higher costs resulting from extra time spent training old suppliers and working with
new suppliers.
More costly high xation dyes used on cloth results in less water clean-up after
dyeing. No chlorine bleach used.
Less water used in dyeing conserves resources and uses less dyestuff in solution.
Mechanical nishing.
The conventional eld is a sterile environment, in which microbial, plant and insect
diversity is selectively eliminated for the purpose of growing just one plant.
By feeding the plants heavy dosages of synthetic fertilizers, and eliminating com-
peting species, it is reasoned, you create maximum yields.
An arsenal of chemical herbicides, insecticides and defoliants - broadly referred
to as pesticides - exists to combat weeds, ward off insects and facilitate harvest.
Without these chemical tools, it is believed, the unarmed farmer faces near-certain
crop failure.
Much of the present conventional farm practice is done in the name of economy
and efciency. And in the competitive world marketplace, there is the continual
pressure to produce more for less money.
Fierce competition between mills keeps prices low.
Mills run continuously and high efciency keeps cost down.
Established supplier relationships and methods run automatically with minimum
time and attention.
Available dyestuffs and dyeing methods are chosen based on price and perfor-
mance, and seldom include environmental effects.
Chlorine and/or hydrogen bleaches used.
Finishes often include synthetic resins which may contain formaldehyde.
ORGANIC GROWN CONVENTIONAL GROWN
HOW IS ORGANIC COTTON CERTIFIED?
To produce organic cotton textiles, certied organic cotton should be manufactured
according to organic ber processing guidelines.
Certication is either IMO or GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)
This short form of the GOTS is designed to give a quick overview on the content and
requirements of the standard. It does not reect all criteria of the standard and can
therefore not be used for any ofcial purpose
GOTS The aim of the standard is to dene requirements to ensure organic status of
textiles, from harvesting of the raw materials, through environmentally and socially
responsible manufacturing up to labeling in order to provide a credible assurance to the
end consumer.
IMO offers inspection and certication. IMO has been acting as a reliable, international
inspection and certication organization for textiles. Following the standard with GOTS
has set in place.
After fabric is dispatched, certication is received at the mill within 15-20 day.
The certicate is sent with the nished garment shipment.

The Best Down in the World
From the beginning, down has been Marmots foremost insulator. No synthetic surpasses the lightweight, compactability and longevity of down. We are proud to use the best
down available: GUARANTEED MINIMUM 850+ and 800+ ll power goose down.
850+ / 800+ FILL POWER GOOSE DOWN - from the best sources in Eastern Europe we have cornered the market on some really old birds. These geese are used
for the farmers personal food supply and are much older than the geese normally raised for market. Avg. age is 1-3 yrs. And these big honkers make mean old watch geese
too. Older geese produce mature down with larger, stronger and longer lasting down clusters. Many high ll power downs are mostly highly processed Chinese down with high
cluster % but from younger Chinese birds that will not maintain loft over time. The difference in 850+ ll is the selection of only the best of the best and the careful processing
to assure the nest down available.
GENERAL DOWN GUIDELINES:
550 to 600 ll power - Mostly Chinese birds processed at 12 weeks, blended with European
625 to 650 ll power - Mostly European birds processed at 12-16 weeks
700 to 750 ll power - Mostly European birds processed at 16-20 weeks
800+ ll power - Addition of mature down from the older geese processed at 24-48 months
850+ ll power - Carefully selected, blended and processed from each lot of Mature Geese
HYPOALLERGENIC - some people think they are allergic to down. In fact, they are allergic to the dust and other foreign material in down and feather products that are not
cleaned thoroughly. Our 800 and 850 ll down is so meticulously cleaned and processed that it is hypoallergenic. Signicantly reducing the chance of allergic reaction.
TESTING - AS ALWAYS THIS DOWN WILL BE INDEPENDENTLY CERTIFIED AND UNDERGO A SECOND TEST WHEN IT ARRIVES AT OUR
DOOR TO ASSURE THE QUALITY AND FILL POWER OF EACH AND EVERY 800+ AND 850+ FILL POWER DOWN BAG WE MAKE. OUR
MINIMUM SPEC 850 / 800 CU IN/OZ, AS TESTED INDEPENDENTLY AND RE-TESTED BY US. DUE TO OUR RIGOROUS TESTING WE
ARE CONFIDENT THAT WE ARE SUPPLYING THE FINEST QUALITY DOWN AVAILABLE FROM ANYONE, ANYWHERE. REGARDLESS OF
OTHER MARKETING CLAIMS.
I just purchased this bag recently. I was on a 22 day trip in northern Minnesota
from early Jan to the end. We had a minus 35 degree night followed by a minus
25. I had a eece liner and a bivy sack. I stayed absolutely toasty warm all night.
This is the most impressive bag Ive ever had the pleasure to sleep in. The cut is
wide enough and long enough to t clothing and boot liners without sacricing
comfort. The shell is extremely weather resistant and didnt soak up an ounce of
moisture from breathing or anything else for that matter. Everything about this bag
is top notch. I cant wait to get out next month again.

What is the EN 13537 test? EN, short
for European Norm, is a government test
for sleeping bags.
How is the EN test conducted? First
lets be clear that it is challenging to
test temp ratings because there are so
many variables. Every person will sleep
differently in the same bag. Choices like
clothing, sleeping pad, tent or no tent, eat-
ing and drinking before bed can all affect
ones sleeping experience. For the EN
test, a copper mannequin named Charlie is
tted with 20 sensors and a clothing layer
(top, bottom, and socks) that provide a
consistent thermal value. The mannequin
is placed in the sleeping bag and put onto
a wood platform roughly 12mm thick. The
board is held above the oor with some
support which allows air circulation under
the board. The board is covered with a
mattress that has a consistent thermal
value then placed in a cold room. A math-
ematical formula is used to measure the
data received from the sensors based on
human modeling.
Why is there an EN Test hangtag on
Marmot bags? Marmot sleeping bags
sold in Europe require this testing and
hangtag. We include this hangtag on all
of our bags, as we believe it is the most
reliable and accurate measure of the
performance of a sleeping bag currently
available.
How does EN testing differ from other
methods and is it better? When Marmot
rst started testing bags, especially
when we used GORE-TEX
fabric, our
designers would go into meat lockers and
sleep over night. Once they were able
to sleep through the night they looked at
the amount of ll to determine the temp
range. Nowadays it is a bit more scientic.
The testing method used in the US is very
similar to the EN test. They use a copper
mannequin, but the clothing, pad, and
math formula are different. Again we feel
the EN test is the most reliable and ac-
curate measure of the performance of
a sleeping bag currently available.
Has the feedback from the EN testing
improved the designs of Marmot bags?
Yes it has. The vast majority of our bags have
tested to our current temp ratings. In some
cases, the tests showed our bags were actually
warmer than the rating we gave it. In another
instance, there was a spot that showed room
for improvement which led to more efcient
bafe construction. With our baseline test-
ing started in 2004, we can now measure
improvement over time through new fabrics,
insulation, and construction techniques.
Will the EN test become an industry wide
standard? That is unknown. Currently our
industry cant agree on how the testing should
be done because of all the variables. The
European government has stepped in and
taken control of standardized testing. For the
meantime, Marmot will continue to test with
the EN standard.

EN Test Ratings for Marmot Sleeping bags
MARMOT RATING VS. EN RATING?
Marmots assigned temperatures are comparable
to the EN t-limit rating.
During Marmots development process we send
all samples to the Thelma Testing Center in Norway.
Continually using the Thelma Center allows us to achieve
continuity in our results.
HOW DO I READ THE EN HANGTAG?
Basically the EN hangtag shows a temperature
range:
Comfort Limit Based on a standard woman hav-
ing a comfortable nights sleep
Lower Limit - Based on a standard man at the low-
est temp to have a comfortable nights sleep
Extreme Rating A survival rating for a standard
woman
For example, the rating on our Pinnacle 15
Sleeping Bag shows:
Comfort Limit 22.2 degrees
Lower Limit 10 degrees
Extreme Rating Minus 24.7 degrees
This can be helpful in selling on the oor. Below is
an example dialogue between a female customer
and a store employee.
Female Buyer - I think I need a 15 degree bag.
Store Employee What temperatures are you
expecting on your trip?
FB Between 15 and 25 degrees. I tend to sleep
cold however.
SE You can denitely use this Pinnacle 15 bag,
but you may consider buying a Zero degree bag to
sleep more comfortably at the lower temperatures.

MARMOT PRO REVIEW
I love this pack because, as a climber, it is the perfect size. With a volume of 35 liters,
I can t a 60 meter rope, a full rack of 14 or so cams, half a dozen quickdraws, several
pairs of climbing shoes, chalk bag, harness, food, water, and a few extra layers of
clothing. I can even lash a thermarest and a lightweight tent to the sides of the pack. No
problem. Ive used it to approach Half Dome with 35 pounds of stuff as well as for day
trips looking for new climbs. The compression molded back panel molds to t your back
perfectly while the S-curved shoulder straps and the thick waist belt help distribute the
load however you like. Additionally, the Eiger 35 has a hydration pocket for your water
bladder, stash pockets in the waist strap, a solid closure system for the lid, and above all,
its COMFORTABLE. Its the only pack I own for all of these reasons. If Im packing lighter,
Im wearing a crash pad, otherwise, its the Eiger 35.

How to fi t your Marmot pack
1. Center the Hipbelt
Find the hip crests and position the
middle of the padding on the crest,
then tighten the waistbelt.
2. Tighten the Shoulders
Loosen the main shoulder straps,
slide them on and then tighten
them until they are just snug.
3. Engage the Suspension
Tighten the lower hipbelt straps
and upper load lifter straps to
transfer the load to the suspension.
4. Adjust the Straps
Re-adjust the main shoulder straps
and waistbelt for comfort. The load
should be mainly on the hips.
5. Adjust Sternum Strap
Position the sternum strap 3-4
below the chin, then tighten it to
pull the shoulder straps in.
6. Check the Fit
The pack should contour snugly to
the back, the padding should be
comfortable and there shouldnt be
any obvious rub points on the skin.

Curl ys Clips
Marmots own Curly Cervone takes you through each of our tents in world reknown (see below) video clips available
on our website. You can also catch em on YouTube or download them to your iPod.
We purchased our Halo 6 through an on line retailer in the USA. My family lives in Melbourne, Australia and use
it frequently from mild winter conditions to scorching hot summer camping. Its a tent that continues to exceed
our expectations. We deliberated on the purchase of our family tent for some time and were nally swayed by
Curlys clips. I have 2 other high quality non-marmot branded tents and nd the Halo 6 to be equal to the task or
greater in quality, livability and bang for your dollar.
~ Paul, on his Halo 6P
Im 66 and wanted a new tent for a trip with my wife to
hike the Teton Crest Trail in Grand Teton N.P.
The Aura 2P was the only 2 person tent under 6 pounds
that I found that truly had enough interior length for me to
lay completely straight in AND have more room to spare!
No more sleeping curled up or with my feet pushing into
the end of the tent and getting wet.
My wife and I shared it comfortably. The vertical sidewalls
were a HUGE plus and create tons of room for sitting up.
Door zippers worked great and the corner pockets
designed so that getting gear in/out was easy. Much better
than the typical hanging pockets. The vestibules on both
sides easily t your pack and boots, with room for even
more stuff.

The worl d of recycl ed fibers into UpCycl e
Product
UPCYCLE
- UpCycle
is Marmots trademarked term identifying products that minimize our impact on the environment
by using natural, organic, and recycled or discarded materials that would otherwise end up in landlls. Polyester from soda bottles
is an example of this. We take material that would have become waste and UpCycle it into yarn and then shirts etc of higher value.
As opposed to some recycled polyester bers that are made into carpet padding of lower value or down cycled.
Currently polyester is the only ber being recycled on a commercial basis. Companies are working on nylon, but its not there yet.
Polyester = PET or Polyethylene Terephthalate. Interestingly enough our plastic bottles for water etc are made with a form of PET. And as we all know there are a lot of
bottles out there that are going into landlls. Fortunately, there have been great strides to collect this material for recycling.
Our position is to use the most appropriate UpCycle
materials available to rst meet the performance needs of the specic product and then to be as earth friendly as pos-
sible. Therefore, you will see a variety of recycled polyester fabrics in our line, all chosen based on performance and availability.
There are essentially 2 ways to recycle PET and 2 sources of recyclable materials.
SOURCES:
PCR Post Consumer Recycled: things like plastic bottles or used garments
PIR Post Industrial Recycled: waste PET resin, yarn or fabric straight from the mill. Normally much of this either went into landlls or was downcycled into carpet padding
or other less demanding products.
PROCESSES:
Mechanical this process can utilize either PCR or PIR material, but is most commonly used for PCR. In this process things like plastic bottles or industrial waste is chopped
up into small pieces. These pieces can then be processed into polyester ber by a simple process.

Pro: Easy, less energy consumption, economical
Con: Too many impurities, cannot product ne denier or lament yarn, generally not equivalent to virgin polyester in performance. One exception to this is the Repreve yarn
from Uni Yarns in the US, they utilize a special ltration process to remove impurities and they get yarn equal to virgin polyester.
Chemical - this process chemically reduces the PET all the way back to the very raw material (monomers) that makes up polyester. This is then converted into the PET
polymer and then extruded into polyester yarn that is equivalent to virgin polyester in performance.
Pro: Equal to virgin polyester, can make ne denier yarn
Con: Takes more energy, more costly
SO.
PCR/Mechanical less in landll, most direct recycling from bottle to yarn, least expensive but limited yarn types. Except for Uni process on Repreve yarn.
PCR/Chemical less in landll, wide selection of yarn types, but more expensive and uses more energy, Used in: Not used at this time
PIR/Mechanical reduces industrial waste, limited yarn type availability Except for Uni process on Repreve yarn.
PIR/Chemical reduces industrial waste, most yarn types available, equal to virgin polyester, costly and uses more energy.
Used in: DriClime Catalyst stretch panels and lining
NOTE: Many of the recyclers use both PCR and PIR materials. The list below is based on the primary source of the PET materials.

Virgin Polyester Recycled polyester
Crude Oil Well Head Process eliminated

As an example: 1lb of Repreve recycled polyester conserves 61,000 BTUs of energy or the equivalent of .5 gallon of
gasoline.

What i s Windproof ?
A better question is probably; what does windproofness do? Essentially wind takes heat and moisture away from the body. What we
experience is cooling. This sounds negative, but it can also be benecial. At times of high aerobic activity the body will need to release more
heat and moisture to cool itself. Best way convective wind + evaporation of moisture. Most of what we do in dressing for outdoor activities is
attempt to balance heat/moisture retention and heat/moisture loss.
HERE ARE THE 5 WAYS WE LOSE HEAT:
Convection - air moving heat away - controlled by the outer layers of a clothing system
Evaporation - moisture turning from liquid to vapor - controlled with moisture moving baselayers
Conduction - contact with cold surfaces; sitting in the snow or holding a metal ice axe shaft - controlled by insulation
Radiation - accounts for a relatively small amount of heat loss - controlled by the clothing system in general
Respiration - beyond our control - can be controlled by wearing something over the mouth and nose
HOW IS WINDPROOFNESS MEASURED?
The most common method is called the Fraser-o-meter or Fraser Air Permeability Test. This measures the number of cubic feet of air that can pass thru a square foot of fabric
in one minute at a pressure differential equal to 30 miles per hour wind speed. The results are given in cfm - cubic feet per minute.
So, we know that wind will take away heat/moisture and we know how to measure windproofness. Now we have to put them together to get an idea of their affect on the user.
Note: moisture vapor transmission will also increase with permeability and higher wind speeds.
The different technologies today try to either balance between heat retention and heat loss or maximize one side or the other.
WindStopper - <2 cfm: maximum windproofness and more water protection than competition. Needs venting to allow one to cool down faster, allowing a bit
more range in colder weather without sacricing warm weather and higher aerobic conditions. Best for conditions that are colder and wetter.

DriClime WindShirt - 3-5 cfm: excellent wind resistance, can be worn almost all day in any conditions as part of a layering system. Works well with all the
other wind resistant garments.

Marmot Quicksilver (Gravity Jackets) - 10-15 cfm: excellent balance of wind resistance and MVT. Wider comfort range without needing to vent. Best for activi-
ties with wide swings in activity levels and less wet conditions.

Wind Pro - 60 cfm: more insulating that the above. Allows for fewer stops to change layers than regular eece. Best for colder conditions without large swings
in activity levels.

200 wgt Fleece - 200 cfm: good insulation, high air permeability, not very protective in windy conditions. Best as a layering insulation garment in colder condi-
tions. Shown here to give an idea of the range of air permeability.
Breathabili t y: I s i t all a bunch of hot air ??
BREATHABILITY: the ability of a fabric to allow moisture vapor to be transmitted through the material.
AIR PERMEABILITY: the ability of a fabric to allow air to pass through it. While Air Permeable fabrics tend to have relatively high mois-
ture vapor transmission, it is not necessary to be Air Permeable to be breathable.
MOISTURE VAPOR TRANSFER (MVT): in waterproof fabrics occurs by two processes:
Physical: Hydrophobic (water hating) microporous coatings or laminations have pores that are so small that liquid water cannot go thru.
However, water in vapor state is many times smaller than water in the liquid state and can pass thru these micro pores.
CHEMICAL: Hydrophillic (water loving) / non-porous laminations or coatings move moisture by chemical diffusion. The water molecule is positively charged and the hy-
drophilic PU is negatively charged, attracting the water thru the intermolecular gaps of the PU. Because the ionic bond is relatively weak, the water then gets pushed thru the
gaps until the water vapor passes all the way thru.
DRIVING FORCE: this is the difference in the level of heat and humidity on one side of the material compared to the other side. Also known as the Differential Pressure.
Nature abhors a vacuum. Everything in nature continually moves toward equilibrium or balance. Heat will move toward cold. Moisture will move towards dry. Therefore,
warm, moist air will ow towards cold, dry air until there is an equilibrium. Due to body heat and moisture there is almost always higher heat and humidity inside a clothing
system. This creates a Differential Pressure forcing the heat and humidity toward the outside. The greater the difference between the heat and humidity inside the clothing
system and the outside, the greater the Differential Pressure to push that heat and humidity out.

Sweating Hot Pl ate I SO-11092
Also, known as the Ret or Hohenstien test.
Fabric is placed above a porous (sintered) metal plate. The plate is heated and water is channeled into the metal plate, simulating perspiration. The plate is then kept at
a constant temperature. As water vapor passes thru the plate and the fabric, it causes Evaporative Heat Loss and therefore more energy is needed to keep the plate at a
constant temperature.
Ret is the measurement of the resistance to evaporative heat loss. The lower the Ret value, the less resistance to moisture transfer and therefore higher breathability.
Hohenstein added a unique aspect to their testing. They had real people wear garments made with the fabrics of varying Ret values and work out on a treadmill. They
gathered comments of the testers and correlated this to the Ret values of the fabrics and came up with a Comfort Rating System.
Ret 0-6 = Very good or Extremely Breathable: Comfortable at higher activity rate
Ret 6 to 13 = Good or Very Breathable: Comfortable at moderate activity rate
Ret 13 to 20 = Satisfactory or Breathable: Uncomfortable at high activity rate
Ret 20 to 30 = Unsatisfactory or Slightly Breathable: Moderate comfort at low activity rate
Ret 30+ = Unsatisfactory or Not Breathable: Uncomfortable and short tolerance time
Essentially, the testers could not perceive a difference in the garments made with fabrics within these ranges. So, a garment made with a 40 Ret fabric and one made
with 55 Ret fabric did not have a perceivable comfort difference in use.
All Marmot fabrics perform at the Very Breathable rating or better. We try to use fabric in the Extremely Breathable rating when possible. While there is not a direct
correlation between any of the tests, we have found that fabrics that perform well on the Ret and B1 test methods have better eld test results and more happy and
comfortable users.
40
NOW, HOW DO WE TEST IT?
Nothing takes the place of actual eld testing, but
that becomes impractical and time consuming.
So we have some lab tests that try to indicate
eld performance.
The most accepted tests are:
Upright Cup A1 (A2 is not generally used)
Inverted Cup B1 and B2
Sweating Hot Plate Ret

UPRIGHT CUP TEST JIS L 1099 A-1,
OR JUST A1 TEST FOR SHORT

(JIS = Japanese Industry Standards)
Simply stated: a dessicant, calcium chloride,
is put into a cup. A piece of fabric is then
secured over the cup and placed in a controlled
environment. Then after a period of time the cup
is weighed to see how much water has been
pulled into the cup thru the fabric. The weight
is then extrapolated to show the number of grams
per 24 hours per sq meter of fabric that will pass
thru the fabric.
Performance Range:
Low Under 4,000
Moderate - 4,000 to 8,000
High - 9,000+
Maximum I have seen is in the 15,000 range and
very rare. High performance in A1 test is in the
10,000 to 15,000 gr/24 hrs range and usually
shows that a fabric has a fairly quick release of
moisture, but may not be the best over longer
periods of use.

INVERTED CUP TEST JIS L 1099
B-1, OR JUST B1 FOR SHORT
(similar to the ASTM E96-BW test method)
A dessicant, Potassium Acetate, is put into a cup
and sealed with a piece of ePTFE (Teon/Gore-
tex lm). The fabric to be tested is then placed
over the cup with the fabric side to the cup. The
cup is then inverted into a pan of water. Then
after period of time the cup is weighed to see
how much water has been pulled into the cup
thru the fabric. The weight is then extrapolated to
show the number of grams per 24hours / per sq
meter of fabric that will pass thru the fabric.
Performance Range:
Low: Under 10,000
Moderate: 10,000 to 20,000
High: Over 20,000
High performance in the B1 test is over
20,000gr/24hrs/m. The rare fabric may go over
30,000 gr/24hrs/m.
INVERTED CUP TEST JIS L 1099 B-2
This test is the same as the B1 method with the
addition of a ePTFE lm between the water and
the fabric. While a good test, it eliminates the
effect of fabric when in direct contact with water.
When sweat condenses on the inside of a fabric
with a Hydrophobic laminate, like MemBrain
,
the lamination will actively pull the water thru
the fabric reducing condensation. This can be a
tremendous addition to the comfort of the user.
This is also best used for non-waterproof fabrics,
so the water in the pan does not pass directly
through the uncoated fabric.
42
Compari son of Test Dat a:
This is one of the most challenging things to understand: Ret, A1, B1 and B2 test results do not
correlate with each other.
EXAMPLE:
Two fabrics may have a B1 of 10,000gr, but one can be 10,000 A1 and the other 4,000 A1. It all depends on the type of coating or lamination and how it moves moisture.
Typically hydrophobic coatings perform better than hydrophilic laminations on the A1 Test. And visa versa, the hydrophilic laminations will perform better on the B1 test.
In general, we have found that the Ret and B1 tests are better eld indicators than the A1 test. However, we look at all three when choosing a fabric to get an indication for
overall performance. This chart gives a VERY generalized positioning of technologies: all technologies will have a range of performance due to variations in the face fabrics.

The essence of a clothing system is to regulate the body temperature throughout a range of weather conditions and activities, while not interfering with motion.
By following the natural way that the body regulates temperature we can design clothing that works with and even enhances the bodys own mechanisms
The body has an optimum operating temperature. Get too cold and it shivers in order to generate some heat. Get too hot and blood vessels dilate and you perspire. Both of
these conditions cost energy that could be better utilized for that last push for the summit or just making smart decisions.
ZONAL CONSTRUCTION CAN BE APPLIED THROUGHOUT THE CLOTHING SYSTEM.
THERMAL REGULATION
Armpits, inner thigh less insulation and increased breathability to allow heat release. (And sometimes the back when wearing a pack)
Muscles, Spine, Body Core, Bladder and Kidney area moderate insulation - hypothermia signicantly reduces reaction time of muscles and neuro transmis-
sion along the spine which could affect motor skills, strength, judgment etc The kidney and bladder process the water of the body. And water is con-
ductive. If the water in the kidneys or bladder gets cold it will act like a heat sink and deprive the surrounding organ area of warmth. As we all know from that
chilly feeling you get when debating whether to get up in the middle of the night in a storm to relieve ourselves.Fortunately the bladder is pretty well protected
in the body and the overlap of tops and bottoms gives added warmth.
Joints maximum insulation to keep joints exible and help reduce injury and discomfort.
ERGONOMIC FACTORS
Elbows and Knees less bulk in elbow crotch and back of knee to enhance ease of movement
ACTIVITY / WEATHER FACTORS
Shoulders increased insulation due to rain and snow sitting on shoulders and drawing out heat
Butt extra protection for sitting on chair lifts etc
Ankles low bulk to t in plastic climbing or ski boots

Angel-Wing Movement a Marmot
exclusive: a jacket and sweater design
whereby armholes and sleeves have
been engineered to allow your arms
every-which-way movement. Youll be
thankful the next time you reach back
into a pack pocket or lunge forward for
a rope.
armhole skirt found in vest armholes,
its an elasticized extension of the liner
thats designed to softly close around
your shoulder. Think of it as a gaiter for
your upper body.
articulated clothing- and glove-de-
sign meant to comfortably accommo-
date and move with joints like elbows,
shoulders, knees, and knuckles.
back tack a stitch sewn over a stitch to
reinforce highly stressed areas where
two pieces of fabric must be joined. Our
tents are rich in back-tack stitching.
bafe construction one design
method for keeping ll from shifting in
sleeping bags and insulated outerwear.
Bafes, or sewn box cavities, can vary
in size, shape, and volume within the
same garment or bag.
bar tack an even stronger stitch than a
back tack; bar tacks are stitches sewn
over stitches at a perpendicular. The re-
sult is a rectangular stitch pattern and a
very secure intersection of fabrics.
base layer the performancewear
in very close contact with your skin.
Marmot base-layer will gently hug your
body and transport moisture away from
your epidermis and into the air, or your
next clothing layer. The base layers
mission is to keep you dry and warm.
belay to make fast, or to keep from
slipping. In climbing circles, when a
climbing rope is attached to a climber
at one end and threaded through a fric-
tion device or around a partner at the
other, that rope can be belayed-stopped
on a dime-should the climber fall.
bi-component knit two different yarns
knit into a single fabric. Our DriClime

is a bi-component knit: The soft, rela-
tively large-diameter yarn is closest to
the skin, while the outer layer is made
of thinner, spun, moisture-spreading
bers.
bivy short for bivouac, a camping
spot usually made in a pinch and for
but one night; bivies are usually low
on shelter and high on austerity. A
bivy sack is a weatherproof sack of
sleeping-bag proportions.
boot loops a heavy-duty loop of nylon
webbing found at the end of an inte-
grated (sewn-to-the-pant-leg) gaiter.
Boot loops come in pairs; one on the
inseam side of the gaiter and the other
on the outside seam so that you can
run a sturdy shoelace or cord through
the straps and underneath a ski or
telemark boot. Purpose: Keep the gaiter
down, keep the snow out.
buckle y No relation to the button or
zip y, our buckle Fly system includes a
waterproof y that clips into buckles on
the canopy straps. The task of attach-
ing and making the y taut is rendered
painless.
canopy the inner wall in a tent employ-
ing double-wall construction. The
canopy is breathable; the outer wall, or
y, is waterproof.
compression stuff sack it does what
a stuff sack should contain a sleeping
bag so that its small enough to easily
carry and shrinks the volume further,
via the assist of buckles and compres-
sion straps.
conduction the loss of heat or, more
viscerally, the rise of feeling cold
through direct contact with a cold
surface. Clothing that doesnt dry and
then becomes cold can create dire
circumstances, literally drawing heat
from your body.
convection another sobering physics
lesson: the circulation of cold air in
exchange for warm, which happens
when youre without a windproof shell
in blustery conditions. The body will
continuously attempt to heat the frigid
air, causing you to become cold.
denier (de-nyer) actually a weight
measurement used to refer to neness
of a yarn. The lower the denier, the
more spare the thread.
down contrary to popular consen-
sus, down is not feathers. Its the
lamentous, soft, and uffy underlayer
of plumage. Down is such an effective
insulator because its light, lofty,
and able to trap an abundance of
(potentially warm) air between its tiny
appendages.
draft tube has nothing to do with beer
taps and block parties. Its the insulated
cylinder that rests over the length of
a sleeping bag zipper. Youre thankful
you have a draft tube once that zipper
gets cold.
DriClime
lined chin guard A small

piece of our awesomely soft, wicking
fabric protects your chin when you have
to zip all the way up.
D-ring an essential but often over-
looked detail for downhill skiwear,
the eponymous D-ring hangs from
pants or jackets to hold a lift ticket, or
when youre in the chili con carne line,
perhaps gloves.
DWR acronym for Durable Water-
Repellent nish, a treatment found on
outerwear that forces water to bead
much as wax does for a car. We use a
variety of DWRs, but all for one reason:
to prevent water from saturating the
shell fabric, which averts potential
condensation into the lining and keeps
you warmer.
ERG Hood adjustment 3-point
adjustment system that allows you to
adjust the height, depth and peripheral
proportions of the hood.
evaporation moisture that is, sweat in
the form of vapor, moving from skin to
air. Evaporation is the bodys natural
cooling system, and its impeded
by clothes. But the proper layering
system, including wicking underwear
and breathable outerwear, allows for
evaporation. Result: You stay dry.
ll sleeping bag or garment insulation,
either made of down or man-made
synthetics. Fill power: the number
of cubic inches an ounce of down
occupies. Down rated 800 ll power is
loftier, which means warmer, than 600
ll power down.
gaiter a water-repellent, internal sleeve
that can be tightened around boot and
lower leg to keep out snow. Although
a separate gaiter can be worn outside
pants, many of our mountaineering and
ski pants come with integrated gaiters.
Gale Force Hood with wire brim
Extra long hood brim with wire so
your hood stays put even in nasty side
winds.
gauntlet a glove extending beyond the
wrist for added warmth and protection.
Virtually all of our winter gloves are
gauntlet-style to keep out snow and
wind.
Gear Loft an optional overhead shelf
for many of our tents. Keeps gloves,
jackets, yellowing paperbacks, you
name it, overhead, providing more oor
space for bags and tired bodies.
gripper elastic a somewhat gummy,
friction-making rubber yarn thats
woven into elastic to enhance its hold.
Youll nd gripper elastic on our powder
skirts and gaiters to keep them in
place.
gusset an insert of extra fabric to allow
for greater freedom of movement.
guy point one of several points inside
and outside a tent where a line (a guy
line) can be attached and then secured
to a stake or other anchor in order to
increase a tents structural rigidity.
Hood Muff a Marmot exclusive:
Inspired by the same-named element
that seals precious oil in an engine, our
Hood Muff is sewn around the hood
of a sleeping bag to keep in warm air.
When you pull on the hood drawstring
a cushion of insulation, rather than the
gathered cord, presses against your
face.

insulation a material used in preventing
the transfer of heat, namely body heat.
We employ 3 different types of insula-
tion in our clothes and sleeping bags:
eece, goose down, and man-made
bers like Primaloft
, EcoPro and
SpiraFil.
internal mesh storage pocket Exactly
that, another place to stash your stuff.
Perfect size for a hat, gloves or goggles.
Laser drilled pockets Basically, small
holes cut into the pocket bags with
a laser (so they dont fray). This cuts
down on bulk, is a slight weight
savings and allows better airow
through the pocket.
loft an insulated garment or sleeping
bags depth of ll. In general, greater loft
retains more (warm) air, which is why
expedition-quality sleeping bags and
insulated clothing look so dang puffy.
marmot any of the 14 species of the
genus Marmota, rodents distinguished
by stout bodies and short legs. All right,
so they also have very small ears, but
we identify with marmots because of
their adventurousness, tendency to
dwell in the mountains, and love of a
good time. How many other animals kiss
and lounge in the sun?
microclimate nope, not the weather
on a six-foot-diameter island. Its the
temperature and humidity level between
your body and underwear, or underwear
and the next layer of clothing. The
purpose of DriClime
, for example, is
to maintain a comfortable microclimate
between itself and the skin.
microber a yarn made from laments
of less than one denier per lament.
keeping fabric soft and supple.
Napoleon Pocket vertical front chest
pocket used to store small items.
No-See-Um Mesh tent mesh so ne
that it keeps out the dreaded no-see-
ums, those nasty biting midges that are
as common to campsites as re pits.
Pack Pockets Angled chest pockets
that allow access even when youre
wearing a pack.
PitZips with WR zips zippered open-
ings in the armpits of our jackets. Since
rising heat and moisture can well up
in the armpits, its an obvious place to
seek all the ventilation one can get. WR
stands for water-resistant (in case you
were wondering).
quilted a stitching style that runs
through a garments shell and lining to
keep insulation from shifting. Quilting is
lighter and less expensive than its more
complex cousin, bafe construction.
rain gutter same meaning in a parka as
on a house: a device to keep the water
out. Youll nd rain gutters on many of
our jackets storm aps.
randonne (ran-do-nay) French word
meaning circuit. Randonne skiing
is a hybrid of both cross-country and
downhill, thanks to a ski binding that
functions whether your heel is afxed
or not.
rappel (r-pel): French word meaning
to recall, which is in the English-
speaking ballpark if you think, to go
back down.
To descend as from a cliff or frozen
waterfall by sliding down a climbing rope
that passes either across the body or
through a friction device for safety.
roll up hood Roomy hood with side
adjustability and a Velcro
tab to reduce
volume.
safety leash remember how Mom tied
gloves to wrists so you wouldnt lose
them? Same concept. Many of our
gloves come with this leash, or nylon
cord and cord lock. Snug the loop
around your wrist before removing your
glove and it wont stray.
seam tape a waterproof tape applied
over seams. For tents or performance
outerwear to claim maximum protection
against water, seams must be taped.
single-wall construction one style of
tent architecture: The single wall must
be both breathable and waterproof,
a job accomplished by two walls in
a double-wall tent. Single-wall tent
advantages: Compactibility, light weight,
ease of setup.
sleeve pocket with WR
zipper a small stash pocket on the
upper or lower arm for quick access to
keys, tickets, credit cards or your iPod
.
storm ap a protective ap over an
external pant or jacket zipper to keep
out the elements. Many garments have
more than one storm ap, and individual
zippers may have two overlapping aps
for supreme protection.
tent y the waterproof nylon or polyes-
ter wall stretched over a tents canopy
and structure to keep its occupants
and contents dry. All of our ies are
made of ripstop polyester, because its
lightweight, doesnt stretch when wet,
and resists UV degradation. The ies
on our four-season tents are also given
our SP Coating, an elastic waterproong
treatment leaving the y two to three
times stronger, though still lighter, than
standard tent fabric.
UV degradation a breaking down
of material due to the suns harsh
ultraviolet rays. UV degradation can be a
potential problem with tent ies exposed
to the sun for extended periods. Our
tent ys are all made of polyester, which
resists sun damage better than nylon.
vestibule a oorless, covered area in
front of a tent door thats perfect shelter
for mud-caked boots and grungy gear.
Our tents are designed with vestibules
that are either created by an extension
of the y or are separate and thus
optional entities; as nice as that extra
closet space is, sometimes cutting down
on weight or the size of a tent footprint
is more important.
Zippin a built-in, customized system
for layering: Several of our jacket shells
come with a zipper running parallel to
the main zipper that mates perfectly to
the main zips on variety of our insulated
garments. When combined, jacket and
insulation are part of an ideal layering
system that conveniently moves together
as one piece.
Zip off powderskirt Gives you the
option to have or not to have. Great
versatility feature found in some of our
jackets. You can use it to keep the snow
out and heat in; or zip it out and use it
for another adventure.

Care Instructions
Marmot does not recommend dry cleaning for any of our products. Gore-Tex
fabric products, MemBrain
fabric products,
down insulated products, and fleece are all machine washable. You should use a commercial front loading machine and follow the care instructions.
Fit Information
Marmot jackets, parkas and pants are sized as outerwear: larger than sportswear to allow for performance, movement, layering, and comfort.
Sweaters will fit less generously than jackets or parkas. Shirts will fit less generously than sweaters. Our garment names are more than identification;
they describe the fit specifications as well. All Marmot garments will fit more generously than non-active wear because we pattern and grade all garments
for active use: reaching, bending, stretching.

Proper Care and Feeding of your Marmot Product
*ADD-ON-SALE* THE CLEANING / RE-TREATMENT PRODUCT!!!
This is the BEST way to have your item working correctly and in tip-top shape for a loooong time. We recommend Grangers products... www.grangersusa.com
You should wash and retreat your jacket/pants At least 1-2 times every year (we recommend at the beginning and end of the season).
Use common sense. No item should be left lthy. It accelerates the break-down process. When you come in from the rain, toss your jacket in the dryer for 20 minutes on
medium heat instead of letting it hang dry, this will reactivate the DWR and water will again bead up and roll away.
Down and Synthetic insulated items should be washed in large capacity, non-agitating machines. Yes, this includes your down sleeping bag (please). Note, the bag/garments
will be considerably heavy with all that water so take extra care when pulling it out of the dryer (dont grab and pull with one hand or it can tear). Throw some tennis balls in the
dryer to help uff the down back up.
Packs/Tents should be wiped down after every use. Just like boots. And always let them completely air dry before packing them away for the season.
We warrant every product we make to be free of manufacturer defects. Should you have a warranty issue, return the item to us. We will repair
it if possible or replace all valid warranty items. California law states that products accepted for review must be clean. Please clean your
Marmot product before returning it to us or cleaning charges must be assessed before a review can be made. Its not just the law - we dont
like stinky product. Normal wear and tear, modications, alterations, negligence, damage and use for a purpose other than for which it was
designed, are not covered by the Marmot Warranty. In the U.S., send your Marmot garment/gear needing warranty attention or repair to:
Marmot Mountain, LLC.
Attn: Warranty Dept.
2321 Circadian Way
Santa Rosa, CA 95407
Make sure the garment/gear is clean, as California law prohibits us from working on dirty items. We suggest shipping via UPS or FedEx so
that the shipment can be tracked, and include a note in the package with your name, address, phone #, and description and location of the
problem. There will be a charge for repairs not covered by the Marmot warranty, and you will be notied of the amount. If you have any other
questions, please check out our new Marmot Warranty website at https://warranty.marmot.com.

Professional Roots
Marmots products have stood the test of time
for over thirty years. Put through grueling,
real-world trials each year by professional
partners like Exum Mountain Guides in the
Grand Tetons of Wyoming, we know our gear
works because the pros use it Obsessively.
Kudos Abound
Marmot received the American Mountain Guides Association
Industry Award in 2003, 2004 and 2007 for our tireless work with
the highly trained guides of the AMGA to make outdoor exploration
safer, more comfortable, and more fun for everyone. Weve also
been awarded numerous product design awards,

People / Product / Planet
Marmot is a values-based
company. We stand for more than
just the technical outerwear, clothing
and equipment we sell. We proudly
support social entrepreneurs like the
dZi Foundation, the Cancer Climber Association, Guide Dogs for
the Blind, Chicks with Picks, and other groups who have set out to
change the world for the better.
History
In 2009 Marmot proudly celebrates our 35th anniversary. Our
humble beginnings (two guys trying to make a better parka),
belie our ambitious mission to consistently invent and craft the
best outdoor clothing and equipment
on Earth. While the best is always a
subjective term, we think that the loyal
support, patronage and praise we enjoy
from some of the worlds premier
alpinists and big mountain athletes
lends a little weight to our claim!
Heres how it all began:
1973. Climbers Eric Reynolds and Dave Huntley begin building
down jackets and down sleeping bags in their dorm rooms at the
University of California, Santa Cruz certain they can build better
jackets and bags for their mountain adventures. They call them-
selves Marmots after a climbing club bearing the same name.

1974. Eric and Dave open a store in Grand Junction, Colorado
selling a small inventory of hand-crafted down jackets and sleeping
bags made with the nest goose down they can nd. Marmot
is born.
Drive to Innovate
Marmot will always remain committed
to discovering and developing land-
mark fabric technologies that enhance
the outdoor experience for everyone. We
introduced Gore-Tex
outerwear way back in

1978, and have consistently lead the way across
a range of performance apparel, from our famed
8000M Parka, to the ubiquitous DriClime
Windshirt
and PreCip
Jacket.
Extraordinary partners.
High performance clothing and equipment.
Condent and measured steps toward global
sustainability. This is Marmot for Life.
