I've had this coat for over a year now (slightly different zipper designs) and it's served its purpose for moderate use. I've sat out at a ball game in a steady rain and stayed dry even though toward the end it started to look like the material was getting saturated (mainly shoulders of course). On warmer days, it does get a bit clammy even with the pit zips, but if you use it as a shell on cold windy days (skiing), it's great because it completely blocks the wind. The one thing that really annoys me about this jacket is the placement of the tag, hood strap, and hanger loop. With the hood down, these three things always either poke me in the neck or are exposed for the world to see. Stowing the hood doesn't look the greatest, either. Due to seam taping, it might be tough to relocate them, though, and still get the functionality. I got this for a great price and it's good for casual to moderate use around town or day hikes.

I wear these on a daily basis whenever the sun is out. They fit a smaller face great, stay put when you're active (biking, running, digs in beach volleyball, etc), and they have never fogged up on me. They've seen mud, snow, sand, water, you name it and have held up great. Polarized is the way to go, too...takes away the unwanted glare. I'm very close to buying a second pair in the Mako/copper reflex combo (currently have cola/brown polarized), but want to see how the Triumphs fit first. If they're too big, I'm definitely going for another pair of these!

I got this as a gift and couldn't be happier (gf got it on sale I hope!). Usually I take a small (5'6, 150lbs), but I had to return this for a medium so definitely size up. The medium fits perfect, though, and it layers great underneath my WindStopper fleece and hardshell as a mid layer. It's Polartec Thermal Pro so don't expect it to stop even the slightest breeze - that's not what it's made for. It will keep you very warm, though, when layered with a windproof shell. I highly recommend this if you don't mind spending the money for a quality pullover that'll really keep you warm.

This WindStopper jacket has lived up to my expectations so far. It completely blocks out the winter Chicago winds that seem to come from every direction and it keeps the heat in great. I've layered it with an Arc'Teryx Polartec Thermal and the combo has made it more than acceptable at temps down in the teens (plus wind) without being too bulky. The neck is a bit loose with just a t-shirt underneath, but I'd rather too loose than too tight. The velcro wrists aren't the greatest, but they get the job done. With the proper laying, I'm expecting to wear this a lot throughout the year. The fit is perfect for me, too...5'6 150lbs and got a small. I could easily layer it under a hardshell for the really cold or wet days. Getting it from backcountry on sale is making it well worth it, especially considering the already great quality that Marmot delivers at prices below other brands.
