Marmot Vars Hoody - Men's

Excellent Hoodie
May 12, 2011

I am a sucker for hoodies in the winter. The combination of warmth, comfort, style in this hoodie does not disapoint. If you are in the market for a great hoodie, it is worth the wait to place a back order for this one. Fits snug as others have suggested, but that makes it a fantastic layering piece. It is slim enough to fit under a jacket, but thick enough to wear alone. Highly recommended for hoodie lovers!

My FAVORITE hoody!

I've been wearing this hoody around for a few months now, and I absolutely love it. The thumbholes are a great touch, and are probably my favorite feature. I will be using this as a midlayer for skiing next week, and I have no doubt it's going to do a great job of not only regulating my temperature but also keeping snow off my wrists. Comfortable, warm, versatile - I only wish they offered it in more colors!

Great Light Jacket

Vars Hoody is a great light jacket that can be worn year round. After reading the buyer guide in Outdoor magazine I decided to give this jacket a try. Having already owned the North Face fleece I was was wanting something a little lighter and more breathable. Also the North Face fleece is not available with a hood/thumb holes so the Vars is a perfect combination. So far the jacket has held up great and the sizing follows the other Marmot jackets I have (Super Hero, Zeus vest and Precip). Highly recommended if you're looking for a light fleece that can be used in many situations.

Versatile

This is a nice all around mid-layer. It has an athletic fit to it, and longer than average sleeves; I'm 6'8" 230, and the xl fits perfect. There's enough room to get a base layer under it, and it isn't too bulky to integrate under a shell by any means. Also, it really moves with you, which makes it ideal for any athletic activity. Oh yeah, and it looks really nice too...

Great Product

The Vars Hoody is very comfortable and the thumbholes are a nice touch. I was expecting the wind resistance to be a bit better though. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Good hoody

I bought another, similar North Face stretchy midlayer that I expected to keep instead of this, but I loved this one so much I kept both. Very trim cut. I am 6'3" 200lbs and the large is a very "athletic" fit. I think it will fit nice for athletic activities. This hoody has a fleece lining in it that makes it very comfortable and adds a little warmth for how light it is. I see me using it as an outer layer over a tshirt on cool (below 50 degrees) hikes or as a midlayer on colder days.

Awsome

My favorite garment. I use it as a combo base/mid layer for shoulder season backpacking. During the day it's my on/off layer depending on weather and time of day. At night it's my base layer to sit around then sleep in. With the full zip and hood there is a wide comfort range. I'm 5'11 , 175 lbs, average frame, and switched from the large to the medium because I like a tight fit with backpacking clothes for thermal efficiency. The medium is snug but with the powerstretch it is still very comfortable. The materials and workmanship are first rate.

Great, but runs small...

...I'm about 5'11 and 175lbs, and usually a Marmot medium has the ideal "athletic" cut for me. I didn't realize that this hoody was like a power-stretch/membrane item, designed to fit extra snugly. If I can find a large, I'll probably order it because I liked the construction, quality and the thumb holes; size was the only reason I gave it 3 stars for "comfort."
