Marmot Approach Softshell Jacket - Men's
Reconsidered

Ranked #657 - Men's Softshell Jackets
March 24, 2009
After some thought, I am reviewing this item a little more thoroughly. I still believe that it is not much more than a casual apres type coat - I cannot imagine skiing in it, unless I really didn't have anything else to hand. It really is just a very simple piece - I guess if you dig plain, simple clothing then this could be of interest to you. I do have a slight issue with Marmot and their choice of main zips - as described in my Troll Wall review elsewhere. There is nothing really wrong with this jacket but I cannot for the life of me think of anything special to say about it. It is Mr.Average Joe of Softshells....
