Marmot Power Stretch Zip Hooded Fleece Jacket - Women's
Thanks to its incredibly versatile design, the Marmot Women's Power Stretch Zip Hoody has a place on nearly any trip whether you're hiking, skiing, alpine climbing, or chilling in the park. Lightweight Polartec Power Stretch fleece fabric makes an ideal first or second layer, and it hugs your body to keep from tangling with your rain shell. Thumbholes keep your wrists from being exposed, and the hood adds tons of warmth when the temperatures plummet.
Bottom Line: Whatever you do, bring along the Marmot Power Stretch Zip Hoody.
How would you say the sizing is on this jacket? I typically wear a small (5'2", 120lbs) but like my jackets a little roomie. Should I go with a M in that case or is a small true to size?
Super comfy, warm, perfect to wear climbing as a warm easy to move in layer over a climbing top or thin long sleeve top. Perfect for over base layer shirts and under a puffy or shell. If you're a fan of hoods with thumb loops you'll be psyched. I take it every where I climb.
Is this really a different weight from the one without the hood? Also, I'm 5'1'', 100lbs with a small chest...will this still be nice and fitted like I want it to be?
The Wm's Powerstretch hoody is 2 ozs heavier than the Wm's Powerstretch full zip jacket. It's designed as a under layering piece, so yes it's fairly fitted.
Bought this shirt for my girlfriend. She absolutely loved the shirt as far as comfort, fit, and warmth. Word of caution though....if you aren't going to wear the hood look into the quarter zip hoodless version. Same shirt, same material, no hood. The problem she had with the hood is that if you don't wear the hood it has to rest under your shell, which apparently was uncomfortable. She can be picky but if you don't think you will wear the hood i'd go with the hoodless option. Good quality craftsmanship and worth the pennies.
I just got my hoodie a few days ago and love it already. Its super comfortable and the sizing is good. Its a bit lighter power stretch than I was expecting, but this isnt a bad thing, the hoodie still does its job of keepiing you warm and comfortable. Get one!
Sam,The fabric is Polartec Power Stretch and it is 100% polyester. I describe it as a light, compressible, and it has a great warmth to weight ratio. It is a bit more expensive but worth it. I think it is my favorite layering piece.
I have this version of the jacket without the hood. It is my favorite outer baselayer for skiing, and will be buying a few more for this season. I typically wear it over a merino wool long-sleeve baselayer on really cold days on the slopes to keep me warm. You can't go wrong with this jacket!
