Windproof, warm, and a great fit

By Dustin Ranked #145 - Men's Fleece Jackets January 2, 2009

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.
