I have never owned a soft shell before so I had no idea what to expect other than reviews I read. Once I got the jacket was amazed at just how much wind it blocks. the jacket is lighter than say the North Face Gravity or some of the others, but it is really resilient. I can easily wear it down to 40f with a base layer.
The fit is excellent. I am 6' @ 175lbs with a thin build and the large fits me great. Not too tight or too loose. The sleeve length is great as I have a hard time with sleeves being too short.
One thing to mention, be weary of the color listed. When I bought it I expected the color shown above under "Detail view" which is the same color listed on the Marmot site. The blue is not the same as pictured. On a side note, it is not the dull blue listed above under "more." The blue is actually a darker blue compared to "Detailed view" and really nice looking. It is a great color or I would have returned it.
