What are Olly's Marmot Favourites?

Marmot Tullus Hoody

The Marmot Tullus Hoody is my go to everyday jacket. As well as training 25+ hours a week, I also work at a Primary Health Organisation. A normal day starts at the pool at 5.30am, which isn't exactly the warmest part of the day. The Tullus Hoody is perfect for the cooler temperatures in the morning, and is equally as capable when I get to the office and need to be looking smart.

It's light and warm

As a triathlete, I am constantly travelling with my bike which means the weight of my gear is a priority. Weighing only 480 grams, this is a very light jacket. With a 600 Fill Power Down, the jacket is very warm and thin and can easily be worn under a full waterproof jacket should the weather take a turn for the worse.

It's water-resistant

While the Tullus Hoody isn't completely waterproof, it is water-resistant which means on those drizzly days you stay warm and dry.

Marmot Regulator Short and Windridge Top

The Marmot Regulator Short and Windridge Top are my go to training clothes for running. Light, durable and comfortable, this combination delivers whether I am out on the road or on the trails. Available in a huge variety of colours, there is something to suit everybody.

Marmot Trail Wind Jacket

The Marmot Trail Wind Jacket is a light weight wind resistant and water repellent jacket. I use this jacket as my top layer either cycling or running if the wind picks up and it's getting a little chilly. The Trail Wind Jacket is available in five different colours giving you a lot of choice. I personally chose the Bright Lichen scheme to ensure I'm seen when out training on New Zealand roads.
