Very lightweight fleece. Use it for running/hiking. fit is great and pockets work well. Need a shell for windy days, but super for 45-60 degree weather.

Wonderful but Seams Coming Apart

This is not meant to be a stylish product but an extremely useful one for actual backpacking. I never take another insulation layer in my ultra-light pack on top of my wool and down but I am taking this one from now on. This is so warm and so light I prefer to wear it while sleeping instead of my down. I just keep the down for emergency temperature dips and use it as a pillow now. The only problem and it is a big one is the the fabric is so fragile that the seams are ripping out. The fabric though is what makes it so great at insulating and so light. I am hoping Marmot will replace it.

Love this Jacket!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two of these and just love them. They are lightweight and yet cozy to wear. Durable and washable

Very practical for travel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable, light-weight with the desired level of warmth, packable for travel. I like the 3 zippered pockets.

Not a favorite

Cut is way too tight for me, particularly the sleeves. They are tiny!

Best fitting zip up I own - maintains shape

Great fit and look. Incredibly comfortable. And my wife loves the color!

Good jacket, didn’t fit me

I was looking for a mid-to-light weight breathable fleece mid layer to wear under a shell for skiing. The Reactor seems to be a good product. Just the right weight, perfect pocket configuration (2 hand plus a chest). Fatal flaw for me was the sleeve length. Sleeves were too short, and rode up when reaching. FYI, I am 6 ft, 4 in tall, 175 lbs with long arms. The large was a good fit, except for the sleeve length issue.

Great Travel Jacket

Provides a decent amount of warmth while stationary and doesn't overheat while traveling with or without a backpack. Not bulky, so packs well. Size Large fits me well, although the arms are a little narrow for my normal to slim arms - more noticeable with a long-sleeved shirt underneath. An XL would be too big. Great for layering: base layer + Marmot Reactor + synthetic down vest + water/wind resistant shell. I've been searching a while for the features available in this jacket, I especially like the chest pocket being large enough for my cell phone in its case. Nice to have zippered hand warmer pockets.

Returned

I like many Marmot products. I have a Marmot rain jacket and down vet that I love. However, I was disappointed with how the Reactor Jacket hung on me. There was no structure to it, just hung like a thin blanket. I returned it.
