I love this jacket. It blocks the wind great and the DWR coating on it is great. I had a super hero from Marmot for a long time but got this at a good price and havent worn the super hero since. The pit zips are a huge plus and not having to deal with the bulky hood of the super hero has been a blessing. Really nice coat with a nice fit. The one major feature I miss is the chest pocket, but I will take the pit zips over the chest pocket any day! One of my go to softshells along with my MH Terra....got rid of the BC.com shift and this is one of my new favs.

I'm a big fella. I wear XLs in most everything. The Sharp Point fits very comfortably, and I have broad shoulders. It has a stretchy property to it. The DWR coating at first was amazing and eventually wore off and the fabric began to absorb water. SO...I washed it, sprayed with Revivex like the directions say and dried it. Now it's good as new again. It is NOT my go to backpacking mid-layer because of weight. I prefer a quality Gore Tex shell and a super light fleece so I can mix and match as I want for breath-ability, weight etc.

The pit zips work very well. The jacket is super stylish, though I have an older model from a year or so ago. People all the time compliment this jacket and tell me how nice looking it is. This thing is made to block wind like a beast- and it does. I'm pretty sure all windstopper does this well...but speaking for the Marmot Sharp Point- no complaints.

This is the best kick around town and short hike jacket I own. Hope this helps!

I've owned this jacket for about 6 months now. Windproof? I think not. I don't know...maybe mines defective. I can say this much, it doesn't block the wind near as well as my Backcountry.com Shift Welder with polartech. Water resistant? HAH. Not a chance. Water will bead up for about 3 min’s and then it starts soaking into the fabric. I would not trust this to keep you dry in even the lightest sprinkle.Sure, it's a comfortable, good looking, and high quality jacket (Zippers are high quality at least). However, the material sucks. I.E. it's fuzzing on the elbows and above the pockets where the pit zips are. Basically, if the material ever runs into itself it fuzzes. I've cut off the fuzz, burned it with a lighter (That actually worked pretty well.) Regardless, it keeps coming back.This jacket is only good for cardio activity if the outside temp is below freezing. If you wear it casually in that temp you're going to freeze your butt off.Also, this jacket could really use a chest pocket. Every other soft shell in it’s class has one… why not Marmot? Oh, one nice thing is the adjustable velcro cuff's...they do help lock your gloves in place and block the wind.Ultimately, I couldn’t stand this jacket anymore. At first it has this allure to it.. mostly because it was the first soft shell I ever purchased. Then, it wore off. I recently bought the Backcountry Shift Welder Jacket to replace my Sharp Point. I won’t be going back to Marmot.
