Great Jacket for mild conditions

By slc983 Ranked #84 - Men's Softshell Jackets April 27, 2007

I have had my Marmot Approach Jacket for about two months now and love it. I have used it as a mid layer on cold days of backcountry skiing and as a top layer while climbing in chilly weather. I was in an absolute blizzard with this jacket and have had it in a moderate rain and stayed nice and dry. To test out the water resistance I even wore the jacket while running a hose over it and remained completely dry. I am not wild about the sleeve pocket. I never use it and would prefer to have a napoleon pocket with an MP3 port. If you are going to be using this jacket in temps that are less than 40 degrees F, then I would recommend adding a shell or beefing up your insulating layers underneath the jacket. All in all, I am very pleased with this jacket. Especially for the price.
