Whether you fight gravity on a climb or harness it while you ski a couloir, the Marmot Men's Gravity Jacket aids in you in your Newtonian science experiments. At just over a pound, this lightweight softshell jacket won't be pulling down on you at all. Wind-resistant, water-resistant, four-way stretch Marmot M2 softshell material provides un-restrcited coverage and allows you to climb with ease even though the laws of physics are against you. Wear Gravity Jacket over your shirt on a spring trip to the mountains, or use it as a layering piece in the dead of winter.
Bottom Line: Newton would love the Marmot Gravity Jacket, if he was a backcountry skier.
This jacket is very comfortable and has good construction but the fit is not what is advertised. I got the XL and the length is wayy to short, about down to my belly button or waist. Also im 6 4 200 pounds and the jacket was a tight fit for an XL. not a well put together jacket for taller people.
Hi - I love the Gravity but I´m looking for a Marmot softshell that is slightly lighter/thinner. Does anyone know which one I should go for? Sharp Point, Leadville, Approach?
I love this jacket for wearing around town, at work, etc. It has a great form-fitting look, provides some warmth and general protection from the elements, and is durable. HOWEVER, it is NOT wind-resistant enough for skiing, at least in weather below around 25 degrees. The wind cuts through it pretty easily.
this is my most versatile piece of gear right now. athletic fit, but not so tight that you cant layer a thermal and fleece underneath. perfect length to wear a likewise athletic fitting shell over top. i was perfectly comfortable wearing the gravity with a midweight thermal & midweight fleece in 20 degree & cloudy weather. breathes exceptionally well, even when i did sweat after a hard run (in 45 degrees and sunny), i was always dry by the top of the chairlift. i especially appreciate that there are no pit zips bulking up the fabric under my arms. the whole obsession with pit zips is rather illogical for any shell, but its utterly ridiculous for a highly breathable softshell. if you ever get too hot, just open the biggest vent you got: the front zipper!!
This and the Leadville are about the same price, what are the differences between these two jackets? Which is warmer, which breathes better, which is heavier and more bulky? In essence, which is the better jacket, the better buy?
Leadville is primarily Gore N2S and Gravity is a fleece backed stretch fabric called Quicksilver. Gravity is warmer due to fleece lining. Leadville will breath better because the N2S is designed to move moisture away from the skin. Gravity is both heavier and bulkier. That said, Gravity will be best if you want warmth and the Leadville will be best if you want light weight, breathable. Only other caveat is that the N2S fabric (found in main body) is windproof versus the Quiksilver which is wind resistant.
Had to return this jacket. Nothing to do with the quality or anything like that...although I didn't get to test it out, it appeared plenty warm and weather resisitant for my needs. It was just too big for my standard medium body! Once This site has it back in stock in medium I will definitely consider buying it. Delivery was, as usual, prompt and problem free!
Great jacket, but be aware that the listed weight of 936 grams is the correct one. That translates to 2 lbs 1 oz, not 1 lb 1 oz. This is significantly heavier than some of the other Marmot offerings, which could be good or bad depending on what you are looking for.
I am a big guy and fortunately Marmot fits me and allows me moveability, Gravity is fantastic and the fit is good, use for cool/cold weather commuting on my bike. Good wind/water resistance and breaths well.
I bought this jacket today, immediately before going skiing. Last time I wore a Marmot Driclime as my midlayer, I was getting cold. Today with the Gravity, I was toasty all day, from standing in line for a lift ticket until I stopped for the day. I stopped for dinner after my day of skiing, had a long walk to my car and was still warm. I love this jacket. Well-priced, fashionable (somewhat fitted, well-designed stitching, cool looking pockets, etc.), and most importantly very functional. It was at most 24 degrees F without wind chill factor today at the warmest...
