Perfect choice.
The Marmot Venus light weight jacket is just want I needed for cool morning walks. It is large enough to accommodate a sweater on 40 degree mornings and just right for 50 degrees. I will definitely recommend it to friends.

Great jacket
I was looking for a thinner down jacket to wear on its own or under ski jackets. I have an old really puffy one that you can wear under a shell jacket but not a full ski jacket. The Marmot Venus is just what I wanted. It is very light and comfortable and just fits under my ski jackets. I haven't worn it in the rain so can't comment on its water protection. I have taken it out on chilly fall evenings in Utah and it is perfect for that. I think it runs a bit small - I usually wear a size medium but need a large in this jacket. It is expensive at full price but I think it will be a jacket that you wear for many seasons. If it helps with sizing, I am 5'9" 150lbs and have broad shoulders.

Very light and comfortable. Taking it to Peru to trek Machu Picchu. Ordered a small first. 5'6" 118lbs. Fit was a little short. Not much room in shoulders to wear layers underneath. Looked cute though. Exchanged for a medium. Not quite as flattering, but much more versitale.

great jacket, dk violet beautiful
I purchased this jacket to have a lightweight down jacket for skiing and casual. I wore it all winter and loved it! The dark violet is a gorgeous purple, one of the nicest purple jackets I've seen in years. I found the cut of this jacket to fit better than most other brands I compared to.

Feathers show thru
The cut of this jacket is pretty fitted around the hips but has little more room around the chest. Length is great. Super cute but black feathers show thru which makes it look like it has stains. Will probably be returning this :(

Love this coat!
It was exactly what I expected, and I love it. This coat is so lightweight you can take it everywhere. I was looking for a down coat that wasn't heavy and bulky, and this is exactly what I wanted. It is light as a feather, but kept me warm walking to work even in 20 degree weather. I love it b/c when I'm shopping in the winter, I don't want to sweat in heavy coat when I'm inside. The size was accurate, I ordered the Large to accomodate my chest size and I was pleased to see that the sleeves were not too long. I bought it in Green and have gotten a ton of compliments. My coworker admired it the other day, and i took it off to show her how lightweight it was. Very versitle and I recommend it for anyone looking for a warm, light weight coat.

Snowshoe comfort
I snowshoed in this coat over the weekend. It's perfect for active winter sports. I would not wear this for really cold weather walking to work coat, but for active snow wear, it's great.
I was comfortable. I ordered a large even though I usually buy a medium as so many reviews so it ran small. The large fits great.
I'm happy with this coat for active winterwear.

Really love this jacket! Purchased it to wear under a Marmot shell but I can also wear it on it's own. I found it to be really true to size and a great fit. Great for winters in Vermont!

Love the Coat, but wish it was a little warmer
I love the jacket. Its nice and sporty and great to wear even to work, but don't let the 800 goose down label fool you. The jacket kept me warm at around 40 degrees, but its not something I would wear when its much cooler without a LOT of layers.

Very green venus jacket
I ordered a size 'large' and at 5'7", 130 lbs, it is a good fit. The jacket is very warm for it's size and weight, very packable, but not a big puffy down coat. For use in bad weather, a wind and water-proof shell would be useful. I chose the jacket in 'green', it is a more vibrant color than is shown in the photos. The quality is high, and except for extremely cold, below-zero weather, I will use it as my primary winter coat.

Too snug
Got the Medium as I always wear a size 10 on top. (5'4", 140 lbs). It was too snug across the abdomen and hips. Loved the color (violet), but have to return it, as it rides up when sitting.

unusual sizing
I loved the dark violet color, and the compact light weight. The reason that it didn't work for me was the sizing. I almost always wear a size medium, but this jacket in size medium was too small for me and the large was too big. I am 5'6" and weigh 135 lbs.
I noticed with another Marmot jacket that this brand seems to be cut slim in the hips...which doesn't work well for my fuller hips. It's a beautiful, functional jacket for someone with the same proportions as Marmot's sizing.

Marmot Venus Jacket
The Marmot Venus Jacket in purple is a perfect jacket for the climate that i live in. It is extremely comfortable, the color is great and is probably the most versatile piece of clothing I have. I love the weight and it washes well. I will continue to purchase other colors that I like in both the jacket and the vest.

Makes you look cool no matter what your age
I'm a fifty-something skier who still likes to look cool. This jacket is my go- to layer over my base layer and keeps me warm on below zero days on the hills of Montana. The best part is my twenty year old daughter likes to borrow it!

wonderfully warm
I love this jacket. The stitching pattern is flattering, colors are nice with a bit of shine so that even black doesn't look flat, and most importantly, it's nice and warm!

Travels from Minnesota to Arizona and Back
I've had my Marmot Venus for a year, and I love it. It fits well, is just the right weight for a range of temperatures, and layers beautifully.

2 years of wear and still going strong
I bought this jacket over 2 years ago as a layering piece for an upcoming Peru/ Bolivia hiking trip. Not only is this jacket warm, but it is incredibly lightweight, and takes up very little space in a day pack. I practically lived in it for the entire trip, and continue to wear it frequently. It's comparable to Patagonia's ' down sweater' but has a longer length - which is great for everyday wear!

Lightweight and Warm
I bought this jacket for camping. I have not been disappointed! I received it very fast and love the Port color. Great for cool evenings in the Tetons!!

a really terrific jacket
it's very lightweight and a great design. There's not a lot of down in it, which might be a problem if you're looking for a lot of warmth. But for moderate cold it's very nice and packs into one of the zipper pockets for easy transport.

Great for the Northwest
I had tried this jacket on at a nearby store and knew it was a winner. Lightweight but warm, and a beautiful lush color.Your price was much less than the store, and I received it in about 3 days! I will definitely shop with you again.

Fantastic warmth, weight, and design
This jacket was a Christmas present from my husband. We were concerned about the form fit and how it would look. We love Marmot equipment and figured it would be great. We weren't disappointed. It's light, but extremely warm.
