Great jacket...but I needed more fleece!

I like Marmot goods and this jacket was of very good quality. The Super Hero is a light weight jacket without much lining so it allows for better layering and breathability. The hood tucked away well so the collar was still comfortable. There is reinforcement on the shoulders and the top portion of the sleeves. Inside the jacket there is a light fleece lining sewn in ONLY underneath the areas of reinforcement.
I needed a jacket which I wasn't going to layer a lot so I chose to exchange the Super Hero for the Sharp Point which is fully lined with a light fleece. I have a 44 chest, 16 neck, and a 35 sleeve but broad shoulders and both of these jackets fit the same. Snug with enough room for layering and comfortable movement.
Did I mention these jackets are of very good quality and design?
