Good jacket, but didn't like the color By girlwiththebirthdayboy from Boise, ID on 11/17/2009 Pros: Breathable, Lightweight, Stylish Cons: Not Enough Pockets or Features Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Good jacket, I just didn't like the color for my boyfriend who is tall and blond. It was a great casual wear though, very lightweight.
great jacket at a good price By geo from Iraq on 10/18/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Cons: Too big around stomach Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping, Under body armour Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great jacket with good fit thru the chest/back but a little too long in the sleeves and the stomach area. I am 6'4" 220, it fits well but if you are thin you may want to go with the large. I still think it is a superb value and worth every dollar.

Very good fit and stylish for an adventure jacket.
A must have for the active By Tybombero from Sacramento, CA on 09/12/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, stylish, Warm, Windproof Cons: Little short in the front Best Uses: Cold Weather, Hiking and Camping, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I haven't put this to the true test yet, but this seems to be exactly what i was looking for - a good lightweight shell to keep out weather during hikes/camping/biking etc without being bulky or restrictive. It's also got a good fit and looks stylish for just casual wear during mild weather. This feels to be made of the best materials. The seems in the sleeves are a little uncomfortable (hence not 5 stars) but everything else about this is great. the cut is short in the front...not a bad thing just be aware. I'm 6'0" 170lbs and am keeping the medium for a trim fit....large fit good too.
By Rabid Hiker from Dayton, OH on 08/10/2009 Best Uses: Casual Wear, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great jacket...for use in light rain and milder weather
By NEClimbe from NorthEast on 08/01/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Warm Cons: Not Enough Pockets or Features Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought the jacket on an extra % off sale to wear while rock climbing; works okay for that purpose. Would not pay full price for this jacket.
Fit is close... more like a shirt than a jacket, as some have mentioned; size up if you plan to wear the Approach over anything more than a lightweight baselayer.
Cuffs are very tight fitting. Velcro cluff closures pretty much unnecessary and useless; they actually get in the way... hooked on things... I might end up removing them.
The pockets are of minimal use; the one on the upper sleeve is only big enough for a powerbar or a watch, while those on the torso are positioned in such a way that they end up under a harness or backpack hipbelt.
Materials and construction are top-notch.
By Still Farming from Oregon on 07/26/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Best Uses: Casual Wear, Cool Weather, Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Perfect for cool weather outdoor/casual activity. Lightweight, wind/water resistant, some warmth but not too much. While fitting snugly it still allows excellent arm movement. It fits more like a shirt, without the bulk of a jacket.
Excellent , except for the cuff's velcro By JohnnyZu from Yosemite Nat'l Park, California on 03/03/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: Hiking and Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This jacket is exactly what I was looking for -- a lightweight, not very warm, breathable softshell for backpacking and hiking in the Sierras. It fits well over a baselayer and under a shell. It breathes great for cool temps hiking in the snow. But, the velcro on the cuffs do not hold well. This appears to be a factory problems as the cuffs on 12 jackets were all the same. So, I called Marmot and they will repair for free. I am 5'8" with a 41" chest.
Great Value on A Perfect Spring Jacket! By GoetMann from Maryland, USA on 03/02/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: Casual Wear, Skiing/Snowboarding, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Nice jacket for Spring running/walking/light snow with a poly base layer or shirt in town.
The color turns out to be a nice light Tan that coordinates with anything. Fits close, but not too tight over light shirt but no room for sweater. Obviously meant for spring and cool summer nights. Can be worn as shirt under Fleece jacket when colder. Some complain about Marmot sleeves are too long, but actually that's good for extended arms when bike riding or using poles. Arm pocket perfect for cell phone. Good quality of fabric and construction.
