Versatile stretch softshell fabric and clean, thoughtful engineering make the Marmot Approach for Men an ideal all-around cool-weather jacket.
Light, Stretchable, Water resistant, Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a great jacket. Runs a bit small, and is made to be form fitting so you don't have a bunch of extra baggy fabric slowing you down or getting in your way. It is stretchable so it is very comfortable being form fitting. Not waterproof, but it is not meant to be. It will keep you dry in a short light rain and is very breathable. Very happy with mine.
Great looking, but...
We are huge Marmot fans - loved this, but it was a little too light weight for a ski shell and unlike most Marmots, it runs true to size, so this was too big. Think we'll go with the Gravity next.
Appear to be a great jacket
I got the jacket and my initial impression is that it compares a much more expensive softshell jacket that cost a lot more. In fact, it is very comparable to my TNF Summit series windproof jacket. However, I returned it because the Limestone color is more like a light greenish color...
Appears to be a great jacket though.

Outstanding jacket
This is a comfortable, all around great jacket for all activities to include cycling, running, hiking or just to wear on a cool night while sitting on the patio. Highly recommend!!
Leadville Jacket from Marmot is better
I have bought both the Approach jacket and the Leadville jacket. Recently, I wore the Approach on a windy & rainy day in Wichita and the temp was about 40 degrees. In short, I became cold quickly. The wind goes right through this jacket. I was disappointed with this tight fitting jacket. Also there is no stretch to this jacket. The Leadville is far superior to the Approach jacket. But if you want a jacket that just looks cool then this is it.
Great Shell for Sports - Running, Biking, Hiking.
Terrific shell can be used as either inner (if you fit it snugly) or outer shell (larger fit) as I have. It's perfect to slice through wind and cold, yet is very breathable, making it perfect for high activity. It's light enough to pack and go along on any trip, bike or run.
Great
the Approach jacket is a great jacket. Im about 5'8 and a small 165 lbs and the small size fit well. It fit nice and snug with out any bunching up, although prob the only thing that could go under it for warmth is a 100 wt fleece or something similar. The M3 outer material works best between 45 and 65 degrees. I would recommend this jacket to anyone who needs a good softshell for those in-betweener days
Great jacket, better than I expected.
I purchased and wore this jacket for a recent trip to Montana in summer. It performed well under a variety of conditions which ranged from cool 34f mornings to windy days on top of peaks. I wore either a thin baselayer or t-shirt and was comfortable even on a 40Mph quad-bike trip to town. I wish it had one inside pocket. I am 5'6" 160Lbs and the medium fit perfectly if not a little tight.
After about 30 minutes in light rain you will start to feel damp. It is only slightly water resistant.
Very Good Jacket
The jacket fit is exactly as described and warmer than I anticipated. The jacket is only rated as water resistant but I have been running (trails/roads)in it for roughly 2 weeks in rain and snow. I have stayed dry from the elements but tend to get a lot of moisture buildup inside the jacket. The problem I have is that it is slightly less breatheable than I had hoped. It might be better if it had armpit vents to aid in air circulation. Overall it is a very good product and serves its purpose of keeping me warm and dry from the outside with only one extra layer.
