Marmot Threshold Jacket - Soft Shell (For Women)

good jacket for windy spring days. Just what I was looking for. A bit large in the chest area, but allows room for layering on colder days.

I ordered this in a medium and I'm glad I did - it is definitely cut snugly in the shoulders. I have a Marmot down jacket in a small which fits fine so this is definitely sized smaller. I'm 5'8" 115-120lbs. and have broad shoulders. This jacket looks small when you first pull it out. But it is quite stretchy, so even though it is snug on my shoulders with a few layers underneath, it doesn't restrict range of movement. The bottom of the torso is pretty big unless you have thicker layers on but you can easily tighten it with the drawcord. The neck zip is a little tight and I have trouble tucking my chin in if it's zipped all the way up. I've only worn it a few times so far but it definitely does a good job at cutting the wind. I'm not sure how warm it is yet though. I wore it under a waterproof shell one rainy and chilly day and I was pretty cold but the real test will be when I use it for belaying outside in cold weather.

I was pleasantly surprised by the heft of this jacket: warm, but very streamlined and well crafted. I wear a women's size 8 and am glad that I read previous reviews to "size up." The Large fits perfectly - and is still loose enough to allow for layers underneath. Great price for a Marmot product. I'll use this jacket for hiking and skiing (on milder winter days).

I would recommend with reservations. Sleeve length is about 2 inches too long.

I usually wear a size 8 but sized up to a large to accommodate my chest and for winter layering for XC skiing and running. Fits great, Looks good without all the logos you see on other brands, allows ease of movement with active sports. Not the warmest without base layers in Upstate NY. Only con I have are the velcro closures at wrists, no internal cuffs.

This is a well made jacket, it was just too big for me and had to return.

fitted and very flattering

Bought for daughter in Brooklyn. This is perfect for NYC travel. In and out of subways and moving on street level to work/after work get together. I have always considered Marmot to be a quality product - they didn't disappoint and I have found Sierra Trading Post to be a very good source of high quality items at great savings.

This jacket is great for late fall where it can turn cold and windy anytime. I've just been wearing it to class and field trips, but I plan on wearing it to crew practice once the temperature dips below freezing in the mornings. The shoulders are nice and roomy, and I can fit a lightweight layer underneath. The fleece-lined pockets are my favorite part! The only con for others might be that the length is a bit short, but I have a short torso so it's pretty much perfect.

I took this jacket on my trip to Portland, OR and it was perfect for their "50 degree, rain every hour" weather. The only aspect I found that I didn't like, is the sleeves seem to already show wear from rubbing on the side of the jacket after a week. Other than that, thought it did what I wanted it to...which was to keep me warm and dry.
