Marmot Wigi Hooded Fleece Jacket - Women's

I like this jacket because it looks good and is warm yet lightweight. Recommended for town wear instead of heavy duty outdoor stuff. I would not choose the Marmot to ski or winter camp in because the hood does not have a cord to tighten it around my head. It might run a tad small. I originally got my usual size large but had to change it in for an XL (which they did cheerfully and quickly), because it was snug around the shoulders.

I bought 2 Marmmot jacket's in xl, the blue true to size, the black xl smaller, was not happy about this. Otherwise jackets very good quality and look good.

I was happy to find this jacket as a replacement for nearly identical style by North Face that I wore into the ground. Got the first one in 2 days, but the sleeves were really short. Returned it and got the next larger size in 3 days. Cozy. But after wearing it 3-4 times, the bottom started flaring out. I don't have large hips, but after the last time I put it on, you'd never know! Sadly had to return it. Backcountry customer service was tops. Product was disappointing. Found a good one at Columbia, so I'm cozy again.

I used Marmot in the past and have been always extremely satisfied with the quality & attention to detail

This is a very attractive jacket. I especially like the fit of the hood. However, the cut of the arms makes the jacket not very useful for actual outdoor activity. I found that the arms restricted movement, and I couldn't lift my arms above my head without the whole jacket bunching up and exposing tummy. So I'd definitely recommend it for wearing out on the town, it's cozy for that, but not if you're actually looking for a performance fleece to do activity in.

Bought for the mother-in-law, the first hang up was the sizing. She's a large but the larges ran small, prompting an exchange and PITA return to get her the extra large. Backcountry was great but it was an added wrinkle. After getting the first one, I was tempted to chuck it because the material was so thin. I expected it to be light, but it felt a bit cheap. Fleece is everywhere nowadays and I didn't expect a heavy weight jacket, but looking at the image from Marmot, you'd think it thicker, at least plumper. The cut is respectable; she was pleased. The hood is fairly decent and the feminine touches (Marmot tag, etc.) here and there did impress her. Done again, I likely would have chosen something else. But I ran out of time and patience and in the end she was warm and relatively happy. I'd just hoped to have gotten 'more' from Marmot than we did.

Normally I really like Marmot products. The fit by Marmot is usually better than your average jacket, especially for a curvy feminine shape, but it just didn't work for me on this one- the shoulders stuck up like they had shoulder pads, and the arms fit like a suit jacket- not good for a normal range of motion (definitely a cut issue, not a size issue). The material was really nice and I would like to find something like this but with a better cut. Also, the green color is really brighter than in the photo- less of a sage and more of a lime.

I also completely disagree with the "not impressive" review. The fleece is soft and comfortable, and looks great; the stitching is clean, the seams are smooth, and there is some cute embroidery on the logo. The fit is probably better for someone with a more athletic build--I have broad shoulders and a narrower waist, and I was absolutely delighted with the fit. For someone with a slight or petite build, it may be a little boxy in the shoulders. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 are the front pockets. They are a little on the small side, and as such they gape open rather than enclosing my whole hand. But overall, it's a great, sharp fall jacket (not quite winter material where I'm from), and a super value at backcountryoutlet.com's prices.

I see there are already great reviews about this jacket, but I might as well add mine too! I love it! It's so warm, sometimes too warm for the fall weather--so I'm excited to have a fleece in the winter! It's cute and practical..just what I wanted!

First time I have ever bought a jacket online, got it home and I loved it. It is warm and looks good on. I read the size chart and got the medium because I read that they ran big(they do). The meduim was great for me even though I normally get a large.

Excellent Jacket

I love this jacket. Took it to Glacier Nat'l park and it was perfect for brisk evenings. Great fit, style and protection from elements. I love it and it's nicer than a regular fleece.

I beg to differ that you can find something nicer at walmart. The fleece is of superior quality. It's plush and warm- down to 25 degrees, maybe more if layered and spacious. Seams are not bulky, it's part of the styling. This is a great buy with good colors.

Sweet jacket - cool color (denim), great fit and style and it is a bit windproof as well. I'm looking forward to wearing it more in the fall and winter. It's definitely dressier than a typical fleece jacket but still sporty.

I bought this jacket for a good price and I think it will be a great present for my sister, who is smaller than I am. I am 5'7" but I have a small frame so small sizes usually fit me best. This jacket is too short in the arms and torso but fits around my chest. I also think the the armpit holes are... long? I don't know what it is but it makes the jacket look somewhat frumpy. On the plus side the jacket is very soft the color is awesome.

I really, really love this jacket! I'm just really sad now that the weather is starting to warm up. I want to wear this all day and night. Even my boyfriend likes the jacket, "it's like hugging a big teddy bear!" which is great because I can't do enough to get some hugs out of that guy! So, you can imagine then this jacket is pretty thick and woolly inside and around the cuffs and pockets (although 100% polyester). I personally like the thick seams. You don't feel them at all and they help maintain the nice feminine shape (subtle angles at chest, hips and over rear). Other fleeces I've had stretch out into an unflattering blob and end up becoming home-lounging sweaters or cat bedding. The seams are also covered with contrasting black material which protects the stitching from damage. I personally like the contrasting colors. A strong wind can break through the jacket a little, but I'm usually so warm that it's actually pleasant/refreshing (Although I haven't worn this in temperatures less than 45 degrees, yet.) The hood is very unique as well. It perfectly cups my whole head and forehead. When zipped up, the zipper goes over my chin and the hood never flies off even in the craziest winds. This jacket perfectly eliminates the need for drawstrings which only get in the way or tangled in the wash. The hood is even perfectly cut around your face so that you don't feel like you're wearing blinders. (Meaning, you can look to your left or right without having to turn your head all the way like other hoods.) The zipper has a backing flap to prevent wind from penetrating through the zipper. Such a rare feature for a fleece jacket. I don't know why someone said this jacket looks cheap. It has awesome style. The only thing I can think of is that the outside has stripes shaved into the fleece that makes it look like freshly shorn wool--or it can look like fleece is missing if you're less than 12 inches away. One of my friends was fooled and actually thought it was real wool from a black sheep. Anyway, this "poor quality" is actually some really nice styling techniques. I'm really happy that the last reviewer says it gets softer with washing! It is already so soft that I've been scared to wash it. Washing instructions, for those interested: "Machine wash warm. Powdered detergent. Rinse fabric thoroughly. No Fabric softeners. Do not iron, bleach, or dry clean. Tumble dry warm. Close all fasteners." If you're thinking about this for a gift, I have received nothing but compliments from all ages (6-72). I believe the style is both practical, classic and "hip" plus it's super warm and comfy! Couldn't ask for more--except maybe a lower price, but I wouldn't want to sacrifice the quality or human rights to get it--though this is labeled "Made in China".

I absolutely love this wigi hooded fleece jacket! I bought one a year ago and loved it so much and wore it all the time that I bought another one this year. I also bought one for one of my close friends for Christmas and she loved it! This fleece jacket is very soft and very comfy. It seems like the more I wash it, the softer it gets. The fitting is true to size.

i could have shopped at walmart and found something much better. worst feature, the seems are very bulky and the fleece is of less than desirable quality. i hope this saves some the trouble of sending things back.
