    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024

    If you have a muscular physique, you can actually wear this jacket. That's not a given these days. I'm definitely not a body builder but I have a moderately muscular upper body which means many brands (Carhartt, Helly Hansen, etc.) that used to have a more generous cut don't fit me anymore. There's a strange trend to size men's clothing smaller and smaller. I know this is the case because I have old clothes that fit fine in the same sizes. After trying and returning many softshells that were too tight in the arms or neck, I'm glad I finally found this one. It's very comfortable.

    It's made of a high-tech fabric that stretches when you move. This is in contrast to the material of my old Eddie Bauer softshell that I'm replacing because it wore out--that fabric was stiff by comparison. The Marmot jacket has a thin layer of soft, fuzzy insulation that is enough to add a bit of warmth with negligible bulk.

    I saw some reviews that complained about the stand up collar but I think it's great.

    Nicely made softshell jacket. I wear it daily during the winter months here in SE Pennsylvania. On cold days I pair it with a warm vest to keep away the chills.

    Do NOT expect the jacket to be thick and warm. This is a light weight jacket, with a thin soft inner fleece (?) layer inside. I was pleasantly surprised that the seams are taped. I find the wind and water resistance to be good; keep in mind this is a softshell jacket (not a hardshell jacket), so do not expect it to be 100% water/wind proof. Also, the fit of the jacket is on the "sporty" side; if you have a big belly, the waist area of the jacket might feel tight. Overall, I am very happy with the jacket, and I primarily use it at the start of morning spring/autumn hikes.

    I needed something to transition from fall and spring. This jacket covers all the bases for me-light weight, rain resistant with taped seams and wind proof. It has large zippered side pockets and a smaller zippered inner chest pocket suitable for a smartphone. I have found it perfect for 65°F down to 45°F. It is not baggy, i.e., is trim fit; therefore, is not suitable for thick layers of clothing beneath. Marmot clothing has a lifetime guarantee against defects in materials, which I find reassuring.

    This jacket is not at all the quality of my 20 year old Marmot jacket. It is thin, uncomfortable and the arms actually crinkle like plastic when you move. Also, as others have said the collar is way too tall - I tried it on for 10 seconds and immediatly took it off and returned it.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Marmot changed the style for the worse
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2023
    Size: LargeColor: BlackVerified Purchase
    I have been buying and using nearly exclusively marmot jackets for last 15 years. This is the first jacket that I don't even know if I can use - and only because of (huge) oversized collars. If you look at the product photos, it looks as if its normal collar size but this person must have very long neck. Even worse, they did not make a photo of the unzipped jacket because it just doesn't look good with oversized collars. They are TWICE as large as any other of the 5-6 jackets in the same size I had over the years (e.g. Marmot Approach or Marmot Gravity).

    Had high hopes for this jacket. Despite checking multiple size guides it was too tight in the shoulders. And that collar.. what was the designer thinking?? Not like in the pictures at all. Had to return and chose a Schöffel Avdalen which is just wow. Such a good cut
