Nice Approach

Ranked #2133 - Men's Softshell Jackets

My experience is that you can rely on Marmot for high quality, good design, and great value. The Approach Jacket is no exception.
The Approach is a lightweight jacket that's just right for cool, not cold weather. This is the jacket I'd choose to take on an airplane for all but the winter season. Its cut is a bit slim and unless you're a twig, isn't roomy enough to go over a bulky sweater.
The exterior looks as though it will wear well. The interior lining is soft and comfortable. The YKK zippers looks strong and glide without catching or grabbing material on their route.
Marmot's taken a nice approach with the Approach Jacket.
