Reviewed by Outdoor Enthusiast from California on Tuesday, March 12, 2013This is an impressive jacket. The combination of Windstopper and Marmot M1 seems to be perfect. Unfortunately, the sizes are too big. I'm 5' 7'' and 180 pounds. I ordered a large and it is at least two sizes bigger. I think a size M would have done it, but it wasn't available at STP.

Reviewed by VTdad from Great Falls, VA on Monday, February 11, 2013This jacket has a nice, moderately athletic cut with enough room in the chest and shoulders for motion. Marmot does focus on real use. It is a very nice looking jacket, that I am already wearing more than any other jacket I own. Warm enough to wear on its own down into the 30s. Lightweight, stylish, durable, and - a plus for me - not as ubiquitous as TNF. Like TNF (which I do like too), Marmot makes products for hardcore outdoor sports, while both are also attractive for every day use.

Reviewed by Joe from Montgomery, NY on Wednesday, January 23, 2013Pit zips are effective for shedding heat and ease of movement during vigorous activity. Wind does not penetrate fabric. Only rub to jacket is that I have to squeeze my hands through wrist opening on sleeves.

Reviewed by Hobbes from Kannapolis, NC on Tuesday, January 01, 2013Have only tried this on and have not yet had the opportunity to use it for skiing, etc.. That's the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Great looking garment with excellent fit. I often have trouble with shoulder/chest fit, but this fits nicely and has stretch for movement. Looking forward to using it for skiing and other outdoor activities.

Reviewed by SnowMountainsRiversGuy from Jackson, WY on Saturday, December 29, 2012I bought this to use as my softshell for backcountry skiing on days when it's not dumping heavy, wetter snow. Have had it out 5 days already, and it works fine. Light snow falls off it easily, and it breathes well enough to wear skinning uphill. It's NOT a full-on storm jacket, so I carry a light, hooded shell in my pack just in case. My only gripe about this jacket (like a LOT of softshells) is that there is no good waist closure like a powder skirt, etc. Deep powder tends to blow up the bottom a little unless the drawcord is pulled tightly, and then the jacket tends to ride up. Other than that, a great light-duty jacket and once again at an awesome STP discounted price. I'd have a hard time paying full retail for this jacket.

Reviewed by tolman_paul from Eagle River, AK on Tuesday, January 10, 2012After ice climbing with a somewhat bulky goretex shell I knew I needed something that would keep me warm, but not get in my way when grabbing gear. I was suprised at how warm this jacket is with just a polypro layer underneath. Perfect for active sports down to the single digits.

Reviewed by WMB from Colorado Springs, CO on Monday, April 11, 2011Great spring skiing softshell! Spent a week in it and loved it. Only downside is it could use a sleeve pocket and another inside pocket, but overall sufficient capacity for spring skiing stuff, only reason I rated it a 4 - otherwise a 5. I caught an aspen on my should while skiing a glade, but the jacket took the punishment in stride - wish I did!
