I'm very happy with this jacket. The quality, fit, and features are all excellent. I'm 5'11", 185lbs and the medium fits me quite well with enough room for light layering beneath.

I would prefer an external chest pocket, but the sleeve pocket does have its uses. The hand pockets have a nice soft micro fleece lining and you can easily access the drawcord for the waist from them.

The jacket blocks wind pretty well, but it's not completely wind-proof. If I need some extra warmth or wind blocking, I usually wear my Marmot windshirt under it for a great combination.

I suppose warmth is subjective, but I can wear this around town over a t-shirt and I am feeling fine with temps in the 20s. Having said that, I'd wear a more substantial base if I were to be outdoors for an extended period of time in such weather. The bottom line is, I've had this for almost 4 years, it still looks new, and it keeps you toasty while laughing at rain, snow, and wind. I'll always wear Marmot.

BUT- it is truly amazing how warm this thin jacket is. I wear it outside for long walks down to 40 or so, and it's fine as a car jacket, run-into-the-store jacket down to 20. It seals a nice layer of warm air against your body, prevents wind from removing it. The careful tailoring all around helps keep it snugg from waist to top of neck. A++++++ I've had mine for 5 years and LOVE it.

Every jacket has its place. For instance you might buy your "warmer" jacket that would either soak you while being active or get soaked when it rains. This jacket isnt intended to be a sub-freezing jacket even if some people can get away with using it that way.

I like this jacket a lot. If I had 1 complaint...the cut is a little tight under the arms. This is my first Marmot jacket though so maybe that's the normal cut. All in all though, I've been very pleased.

I spent a lot of time searching for a coat that met all of my specs and didn't cost $400+ and was very happy when I found this. I'm 5'9" 175 lb and the L fits great with plenty of room for multiple baselayers including a thick fleece or down vest. It's kept me bone dry and warm on the bike in fairly heavy rain and temps between 25 - 40 (with activity and light baselayer). I don't feel any wind chill while biking. Also, material has a good feel to it and isn't overly stiff or "plastic" like many shells out there. Looks good enough for business casual as well - at least the gray color!

This thing is awesome. Great fit, build quality is fantastic. The Navy blue is a real nice. I'm 6.1 athletic build at 185 pounds, Large fits perfect, with room for base, polar 200 weight.
Very water resistant. 30 minute ride home in light to medium rain and 30 mile hour winds, it just started to spot in a couple places.

Very breathable, stretchy, completely wind resistant. Arm pocket is large enough to fit my Samsung Galaxy S II with CaseMate, but not with headphones. Using the pocket does not impede movement.

Only gripe, is it isn't as warm as I had hoped. Maybe I expected to much from my first soft shell. From what I read on the web, they replace a mid layer, but that is not the case. It is just a flexible, water resistant, windproof, light insulating outer layer. Pack a light shell if backpacking in case of downpours... Highly recommend it. I will be a Marmot Man now.

PS: I had a Columbia Key Three II before this, and returned it. The craftsmanship was not great for the price, but the Omni-Heat does work, if you were curious.

Awesome Jacket

This is a great jacket for the fall/early winter/spring. It is stiff at first, but after a week of everyday use it loosens up. I use it as a shell when it is not too cold (20-50F) and layer underneath; once it is colder I switch to my down jacket.

I like the high collar on this jacket to cut down the wind and it beads water in a light rain. I bought the XL (5'11", 230#) and have plenty of room underneath. The cuffs are velcro, which helps to wear a glove over the top or underneath depending on the activity. I can fit my down sweater underneath if it's a wet cold.

Use this as my everyday coat in fall and spring during cool and rainy conditions and it is completely comfortable. Have used it on backpacking trips in the Rocky Mountains and it worked well in cold sleeting conditions keeping me dry and warm. Served well as a windblock during an ascent of Longs Peak and has taken plenty of abuse without damage.

I am trying to figure out how the M1, M3 designations help me decide which product to purchase. Is there a resource explaining this? I tried Googling it but didn't come up with anything.

I was looking for a fall/spring jacket for everyday use(not a whole lot of super aerobic stuff). With that in mind, how would this compare to the Marmot variant jacket?

Hey Andy,

When it comes to comparing Marmot Gravity Softshell Jacket - Men's and the Marmot Variant Insulated Jacket - Men's, the Variant jacket is going to be warmer, but heavier due to the Thermal R Eco Insulation that is incorporated into the body of the jacket. Also, the Gravity has a bit more of a soft shell material for the outer shell so it will breathe better than the Variant jacket.

That being said, it will depend on how cold your Spring/Fall seasons get and how much you like to layer underneath your jackets. If you love to layer, go with the Gravity Jacket even in colder weather as the lighter weight and soft shell material will allow for more layering and comfort. If you don't like to layer and your Spring/Fall seasons are cool to cold, go with the Variant. Finally, if your Spring/Fall seasons don't have much cool temps to them, stick with the Gravity Jacket. I hope this helps.

An amazing softshell. It has been the only jacket that I have needed in our mild winters (15 degrees F low) with some under layers. Also great at protecting against the wind which was the main reason I bought it.

Great softshell for cold weather. The cut/construction are perfect for hegh energy activities. The sleeve length keeps them from riding up when reaching and there is no pulling accross the back. The collar has a great backing and is just ridged enough to stand up and bloke the wind. This works great as an outerlayer when working hard, but is thin enough that you can layer a hard shell over the top when you stop moving and not feel like Ralphie in "A Christmas Story".

I own a marmot Zues down jacket, I was wondering if the marmot gravity softshell would be a great outer shell for the down jacket?

Jeff Blackston

Responded on

It really depends on the application, LRR. In short, yes, you can wear the Gravity Softshell over anything, including a down sweater. I usually like to wear a softshell close to my body, meaning only a light layer and maybe a light vest in between. You could always wear the insulation over the softshell if conditions and activities are favorable (no rain and no tree skiing). If you could give a bit more information on your activity(s), that would be helpful for a more accurate answer. Good luck!

Excellent go to jacket for anything. It has a soft fleece liner but lacks the venting of Marmot's other active shell, however it's very comfortable. Water and wind resistance is good. I would only say it is a bit more constrictive than the ROM or Super Hero if you want to get out and really move. Again, the fit is just dead on. I'm 160 and 5'10" and somehow Marmot knows exactly how to tailor a jacket to my size.

I found the fit to be very similar. I tried them both on at my local retailer and the XL fit me in both jackets.

The Gravity won't zip into a Tamarack jacket. Check out the Cauldron Jacket and Vest or the fleece Warmlight jacket instead.

Does this jacket fit narrowly? I bought the Marmot Approach, but it is a very narrow fit and I'm wondering if this has a similar fit. Thanks

This is not a loose fitting jacket, but it's not super tight either. Actually, it's almost exactly the same as the approach. Perhaps you should get a bigger size? It's not meant to be super trim fitting.
