Marmot Comes through once again.

Rating:*****

I'm a huge fan of Marmot product's and once again, I'm glad to add this to my personal Marmot collection(Black Roasta Fleece Jacket in XL). If your considering this jacket, and this is your first Marmot purchase, your expectation's will be exceeded. I love this brand. I also love the fact that not everyone and there mother rock's it like North Face gear.
The pro's are that this is light weight & warm.
The con's are that it run's a bit snug so I would order a size up from what your used to. My only suggestion for this jacket is if they ever re-design this jacket, it's that they put the same fuzzy fleece material on the inside's of the jacket as they do on the outside. The material is so soft on the skin and it's a shame that it's limited to the outside of the jacket. However, I seem to get more hug's from my girlfriend when I where it so believe me, i'm not complaining. I hope this helps.

The Nicest Fleece I've Ever Owned

Rating:*****

The title says it all. This fleece is incredibly warm, so warm that I often get hot when I come in from the cold wearing it, with just a t-shirt on under it.

Its not windproof, but its not designed to be. Its a layering piece and works extremely well for that purpose.

The fit was excellent. I'm 145, and 5'11 and a medium fits me nicely. Its slightly looser than my medium Patagonia R2, but I love the fit. This is an extremely functional and stylish fleece. Buy one, you won't regret it.

soft and warm

Rating:*****
This jacket is as warm as a mid to heavy weight fleece but as light and thin as a light weight fleece. Its very soft and comfortable and stays looking new after you wash it. I had a mountain hardware monkey man jacket before I got this one and was very disappointed with it. After only a couple of weeks of wearing and 2 or 3 washings the "fur" was very matted and their was a noticeable seat belt line from wearing it wile driving. So definitely buy the marmot over the mountain hardware.

Warm and bit too snug

Rating:****

I live in Germany and it has snowed recently along with some extreme cold temperatures (try 20- C)! Nice coat, very warm, but a bit too snug. I'm 6'2, 188 lbs with a 32" waist and 44" chest. I'm not fat by any means, but I felt an L didn't fit me well. I normally wear an L and still have some wiggle room. Recommended nontheless.

Looks, and fits awsome!

A nice mid layer or outer layer on a non windy day. Super comfy, very warm under a shell but the wind will cut rite through it if worn as a outer layer on cold windy days...

Very light but very warm

Rating:*****

This fleece is incredibly light but unbelievably warm.
Washed in washing machine hang it for 30 minutes. It completely dries. Neck is too big or my neck is too thin.
I've already recommended my friends and co-workers.

Negative Reviews:

Pretty Lame and Overpriced

Rating:*
Given the cost, I expected this to be better quality. It is too snug in the chest, and seems to almost flare out at the bottom. It allows for drafts to enter at the bottom. Sleeves were too short and length in the front is too short. I'm 6' 180lbs. and athletic. If this sounds like your physique, stay away from this piece. My first experience with marmot products and not a good start. AND THE PRICE!?!?!? Way too expensive for what you get.
