I looked it up on the internet as all the cool people I ever saw had a jacket which said "Marmot" right where you'd normally pin your red carnation and its a town you pass on the way to Mt. Hood from Portland. At the halfway point almost exactly. I've never actually seen the town it possible you have to borrow a bit to find it. Its also a company which makes more cool than Columbia Sportswear Jackets. Mine's just a shell it was real cheap. Its more cool than the effect of wrapping yourself in saran wrap on a hot moist day. I just put it in the washing machine in hot water. It needed decontamination.
