What we like

What to watch for
- Trustpilot score is very low.

The main alternative: Patagonia
Patagonia is a premium outdoor-clothing rival.
What it costs: Varies by item
Pick Marmot if you…
- want a budget rain shell.
- want frequent sales.
- want a wide range.
Pick Patagonia if you…
- want repair and resale programs.
- want premium shells.
- want a different fit.
Our take
Marmot's gear is widely reviewed and often a budget pick, but its very weak Trustpilot score means you should read the return terms first.
