Marmot Summerset Jacket - Soft Shell (For Women)

Water and wind proof is surficient, in my view. Moisture permeability is not work perfect.

Causual jacket in at least one great color (the purple). Very shaped in waist. This, plus the design of the pockets, means that stuffing in gloves and/or a hat makes the front very lumpy. On the other hand, very nice around town light jacket with some wind/water protection. This is rated M3 by Marmot, or the least wind/water protection of its softshell line. Not a jacket for the backcountry, imho. For that there are better choices.

This is a great looking jacket, but definitely order a size bigger. I am big busted and I look like a sausage in it.

fantastic purple color

I bought this jacket to wear for the spring skiing, fall warm up and maybe winter skiing with a layer underneath. The color is awesome! The length is great sits just below my hip. The drawstring hood is very nice and can be adjusted. The pockets are deep and allow for ample room to store my gloves and i pod and keys.I bought the extra large because I wanted to put a layer under it. i normally wear a large and this fit was good. The only downfall is the sleeves are a bit long, however I sew so I will cuff them under one hem and sew them in place. The material is very light. I would recommend this jacket to a friend for light wear since it is not warm enough on its own for winter.

I was expecting soft shell to mean an insulating, relatively warm jacket(not down, but similar to fleece). This was as thin as a shell. It might work as a wind proof layer during a high aerobic work out(running, skate skiing, etc), but not what I expected. I returned it.

I got this to go over my warm layers for wind and wet protection. i like the quietness and soft hand of the soft shell fabric. This jacket is light to medium in weight with a good hood and the pockets are well designed for easy access and keeping hands warm. It has enough room to slide over my hips and yet still look trim. I would have gotten a L if I wasn't intending this to go over sweaters and my Patagonia Nanopuff jacket. I have long torso and long arms; the sleeves and length of this jacket are plenty long.

Well made quality jacket. Fabric light, brown color nice. I am in 50s, active,with straight body. Would have liked it if it fit. Was too large in the body and hip area. Prob. fit someone with larger hips.

Love this jacket! It is a closer fitting jacket. I'm usually a small and got a small jacket. Like how it fits and I don't plan on wearing heavy layers underneath. Tried on the medium and it just hung on me, sleeves were way too long and the rest of the jacket just looked baggy. Great color. Like that the jacket is lighter weight and water resistant. And that the material isn't that crunchy material that water resistant jackets are sometimes made up of... Only wished that the hood was detachable, but other than that, love this jacket, very functional and stylish!

I totally love this jacket. I read other reviews and ordered a size larger than I usuallly do. It's perfect. It's a super cute style and color and it fits great. I wore it camping last weekend and it was awesome. It kept out wind and water and kept me decently warm. When it got dark I layered a fleece underneath and stayed toasty. It's lightweight and easy to pack.
