When your adventures take you beyond the tree line, the Seeker GORE-TEX® Jacket is built to keep going. Designed for changeable mountain conditions, it's Marmot's premium lightweight alpine shell for hikers, climbers and adventurers who need dependable waterproof protection without unnecessary bulk.

Built with premium 3-layer GORE-TEX® C-KNIT™ fabric, the Seeker delivers exceptional waterproof, windproof and breathable performance while remaining noticeably softer and more comfortable than many traditional alpine shells. A zoned fabric construction increases durability where your backpack and harness create the most wear, while lightweight ripstop panels improve breathability during long climbs and high-output days.

Whether you're tackling exposed ridgelines, carrying a heavy overnight pack or moving through rugged alpine terrain, thoughtful features like a helmet-compatible hood, harness-friendly pockets, two-way pit zips and a two-way front zip are designed to perform when the weather turns.

If you regularly venture into demanding mountain environments and want premium weather protection without compromising comfort or mobility, the Seeker is built for exactly that.
