Marmot Gravity Softshell Jacket - Women's - 2007 BCS

LOVE this softshell. It is fleece lined and thick, which keeps me nice and toasty. It also repels water really well for a softshell. I have to say I wear it a lot more than my Arc'teryx Gamma softshell, which is much thinner and wayyyy more expensive. I would recommend this Marmot over the Arc'teryx any day. Sizing wise this jacket runs a little small so keep that in mind.

I own a men's gravity softshell, and bought one for my girlfriend. She's gotten tons of compliments on it. I'm giving this 5 stars because the jacket is just so awesome, but I wish I could get her one (non-black) with darker colors so she wouldn't be as worried about getting it smudged / dirty.

I have an older version of this jacket and love it. They do run a little small. I'm 5'2" and 150 so I have the large. It's a little long in the waist but not too long in the arms. Very warm and wind resistant. Use it for hiking and casual wear. I wore it snowboarding one day when I forgot my shell. Nice and toasty on a windy cold day. It is a bit heavy but it does keep you warm.

I thought the jacket looked great. Sporty design, nice venting, and it came in at the waist to give it an athletic, yet feminine cut. However, the sleeves were way too long for me, a particular problem with the white/sierra color, since the material at the bottom of the sleeve is a snowy white that is already prone to getting dirty. Check the measurements and if it seems like the arm lengths are going to be way too long for you, they probably are.

I am 5 feet and 90 lbs and ordered the XS in black. This jacket is very heavy compared to TNF's Apex Bionic. It's also very tight across the chest, and I'm only a 34B! I tried another black in XS, and it fit exactly the same - very uncomfortable!

I'm usually an xs but reviews say this runs small so I got the small. I'm 5'4" and 108 lb with a narrow frame. It fits in the torso with a bit of room but I can see how the xs would have been too tight with layers. The arms are strange though. They're really wide and kind of bunch under the armpit. I guess this is for better range of movement if you're climbing or something. Haven't tested that out yet. Excited for a wind resistant, water resistant jacket in GREEN! my favorite color. Also, it's soft and fleecy on the inside :)

Jacket runs small. Sleeves are very fitted. I don't know why someone thought the sleeves were too long, I thought they were not long enough. I usually wear a small, ordered a large to get enough room for my long arms and athletic shoulders. But then I ended up with extra room around the waist and hips. Looks very stylish, but is NOT warm enough for alpine skiing. I wore it once for skiing, and got too many drafts down the front, and under the hem. Should be great for hiking or XC skiing though. Breathes nicely. I liked it so much I got one in Men's for my Dad. He LOVES it, and wears it all the time. The colors are beautiful, and even the light colors seem to resist dirt and stains. It washes up nicely. I'm planning on taking it for cool spring hikes in the Rockies and Jemez (NM) Mts. It is heavy for a soft shell, which is fine for day hikes. I am not sure I'd want to backpack with it since it has some bulk to it.

Very warm without the bulk. The style allows me to wear it to work on cold mornings while the functionality provided great protection on a 40 degree windy and drizzling bike ride. I'm 5'3 and weigh 121. The Medium size works well and I am able to wear a layer underneath.

This is a phenomenal shoftshell. Keeps out the wind and rain (though I only recommend it in light precip), and keeps you warm. The fit is feminine and flattering and true to size. It's the perfect length for me. If you're really tall though, then this jacket may come up short on you. It's also very durable...I've used it camping, hiking, rockclimbing, and skiing with no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend!

Bought one for my mom & sister. They wear them everywhere, around town and out in the wild. Fabric feels extremely solid. Excellent functionality as a heavier-weight softshell.

This is a great jacket, I got mine about a month ago and wear it everywhere. It is surprisingly water resistant, the only issue is the jacket is a little short on me (I'm 5'8 and got the Med.)

I've been in the market for a softshell for a while, so I couldn't resist. The "Blue Sky/Celestial Blue" is prettier in person, but not quite the color my monitor portrayed. The both the light and dark blue are more teal in color, rather than bright/sky blue. I am 5'2", 115 lbs, average/fit build and the Small fits like a technical jacket should - fitted, with enough room for a long sleeved shirt and a thin baselayer... too much more than that and you might start to feel awkward (also, the bust may be a bit snug if you're larger than a 34 C). The jacket stops right at the top of my hips, which was similar to the 6 yr old Marmot fleece that it's replacing. The sleeves stop near the halfway point of my palms with my arms stretched out in front of me. This might be a teeny bit long for some and tells me that I can't go a size larger, but I could imagine it might be the perfect length for a taller person. As for performance, I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but you'll hear back from me if it doesn't live up to expectations. I am definitely happy as is.

I have an old Cloudveil women's softshell Large that fits me great, so I ordered the Large of this jacket and couldn't get it to zip over my chest. I do have DDs and find that women's gear is often not made for large breasted women. I am going to exchange for an XL and see if that fits.

Wonderful jacket! You could not ask for a better fit not to bulky.
