Whether you're fighting gravity on a climb or taking advantage of it while skiing a couloir, the Marmot Women's Gravity Jacket will aid you in your quest. At 29oz, this softshell jacket won't be pulling down on you at all. Wind-resistant, water-resistant, four-way stretch Quicksilver material allows you to climb with ease even though the laws of physics are all against you. Wear this unlined jacket over your shirt on a spring trip to the mountains or use it as a layering piece in the dead of winter. This is the softshell of choice for all gravity-related sports.
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 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.
Hey, it runs small. The cut is true to size everywhere but the arms. Take a look at the official Marmot site and you'll get a better idea for their sizing. It's all done by height vs. weight. But the gravity is an awesome choice, particularly for the money. Hope that helps! Heather
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!
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!
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.)
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.
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.
