Marmot Strato Jacket - Waterproof (For Women)

Shade of green is bright and pleasant--got a larger size so I could layer with a sweater underneath. Love the fabric and hood. Very happy with choice.

I was looking for a lightweight rain jacket to wear while walking and running. I have a winter jacket, so I didn't need one with insulation, but I wanted one that is waterproof/resistant as well as breathable. This jacket fits the bill. It is exceptionally well-made, with multiple zip pockets for a key, money, what have you, as well as graduated velcro adjusters for the sleeves and a drawstring waist if needed.

I have read some reviews from other sites since none had yet been posted. The overall rating I found was a 4 1/2 star. I definitely give it a 5. Awesome color, perfect fit, super light, and very dry. I still have lots of environments to try it out in but you just can't beat the price.

Love this jacket - and that it is so supple. I have not yet worn it in a deluge but I expect it will be as waterproor as a "Precip". It is very breathable and yet very wind - resistent. Might just be me, but I find that the sleeves on a medium fit me just perfectly whereas a medium is often too large and the sleeves too long (bought this a size larger than normal because that was available on sale - and I am glad I did because it will allow me to fit a bulkier layer under it and make this a full three-season jacket - who knows it might evolve to be great for winter as well. Its lines are fairly flattering so its not going to accomodate too much bulk). So while I find the fit pretty true, perhaps its runs smaller than some brands - not sure. I have to say that I love the crazy-bright colors!
