Excellent All-around soft shell vest
August 21, 2011
Excellent multiuse softshell vest - exactly what I was looking for! I used to have Arc'teryx gamma SV softshell vest, and Marmot approach is as good, if not better, and for the half of the cost... Durable, lightweight, simple / clean-looking, athletic fit (I am 5'8", and the small fits great). All the necessary details are there - drop back hem for coverage while riding a bike, elastic draw cord along the hem, chest pocket, tough zippers. The only adjustments I would make are fleece-lined collar (this model has a soft-shell-lined collar) and internal zippered pocket, but other than that, this vest exceeds my expectations. As usual, exemplary service from Altrec - thank you !
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Great value, athletic fitDecember 04, 2011
Initally thought it was going to be too thin to be warm but after wearing it, it has a nice warmth to weight ratio. Will use it as core mid layer under shell for skiing
Pros: Ease of use, Cons: CostExcellent for cool weather

I have many of the Marmont vests. I wear the ones that best match the weather without being too much. They make some that are wind stoppers and some that are for warmth. The Approach vest is a mid level wind stopper. I have two . One XL and one L. Use the XL over one of their down vests and the L by its self. I am 6'3", 190 lbs and they fit perfect worn as described. We have a lot of days with 20 to 30 mph wind. The Approach is perect for 45 to 60 degrees in this wind and at a lot cooler temps with less wind.

I'm a vest fan and I have many vests of different brands but this one is one of the best. The Approach vest is a mid level wind stopper. Fit perfect worn as described. Actually I like the brand and also looks nice as a piece of fashion.

sharp looking and comfortable - perfect for spring/autuimn night - I did have a problem with some markings on collar - washed it twice, and it seems to have gone away - jury still out on this though
