Great for keeping the wet and wind out but needed a quilted thinsulate underneath for warmth!

Yes its goretex, and the fabric is waterproof, but the hood is awkward and small, and the bill is too short, so in moderate rain when you put the hood up, water easily gets in around your cheek and jaw. Tightening the draw string does not help (you can see from the picture). I got this for my wife and she was thoroughly dissatisfied with it as this was discovered out on a long backpacking trip. I don:t know why it has such good reviews. Maybe nobody ever used it in the rain. My wife ended up getting a different company jacket (a Harder brand to Wear on the Mountain) and was happier and dry. She only uses the Marmot as a wind breaker of very light rain.

Shopper
is this coat a "laminate" type or a coated type?
BRETT B
I am not sure but there isn't a coating that you can feel. It's a natural texture so I think it would be what you are calling a coating. It's not plastic or stiff feeling. Runs true to a little tight in sizing though.
CHEK H
I'm so sorry l don't know. I've lost the little booklet that came with the jacket.

The jacket is gore tex water proof material I think ot has some type of dwr coating, I am not sure about the exact specs. I would check the Marmot site.
