Bought it on clearance since it was prior season's color of French Red which looks stunning.
The jacket fits relatively well though it's meant as a light jacket or heavy sweater. You can wear a long sleeve undershirt and up to a midweight fleece sweater underneath to keep warm. Otherwise, the shoulder area gets tight. The down sweater goes down to the waist.
It's relatively warm especially when worn over layers and can be worn down to the low-mid 40s F and it does block out some wind.
The handpockets are roomy enough to hold fleece gloves which is a must during the cold, wintry months and provides some warmth as it's designed behind the goose layer of the jacket.
You can roll it up and stuff it into one off the hand pockets which makes it convenient.
The outer nylon shell is a bit thin so be careful as it can get snagged and will rip.
The jacket does get dirty over time but throw it into the washer using a down cleaner or even gentle detergent and baking soda and run on gentle spin then fluff dry with some dryer balls to fluff out the down. May have to hand dry if it's still a bit moist.

Bought the Lime colored paracord handle. Took ~<5 bus. days for delivery and used a coupon which offset against the shipping cost.

Package came with a rubber ring which slides up the bottle. Attach the loose end of the cord on the bottle's neck and slide the other closed end up the bottle up to the rubber ring. Tighten to secure and it works.
It's Not the typical paracord handle that you see most often where it ties on the bottle's neck as many are meant for wide mouth bottles not the standard mouth bottles.
You carry the bottle using the handle instead of swinging it around with the handle on top like the other paracord 'handles'.

You can use the paracord handle without the rubber ring but the ring keeps it in place and you have better grip if you grab the rubber ring to hold the bottle.

Bought the vest when it was on sale earlier this autumn. It came in handy when the cooler to cold weather came in.
The men's XL vest fits true to size and is lightweight.
It has 1 cinch point on the lower right side, 2 front zippered hand pockets and 1 inner zippered pocket. Should keep a pair of gloves in the hand pockets which will keep your hands relatively warm depending on the weather when the vest is worn.
Wear it above a long sleeved shirt and a fleece sweater and it's relatively warm.
It's warmer if you wear the vest underneath a jacket esp. a down jacket as an insulating layer.
It's lightweight so you can't really wear it when temps are in ~<30s F but it's fine when it's warmer.
It blocks some wind but not entirely especially when it's very windy.
Vest is not meant to be worn when it's raining but it is water Resistant for very light drizzle. Otherwise, it will get soaked very quickly.
Overall, it's a relatively warm down vest for moderate temps.
Get it when it's on sale ~ end of summer/early autumn.

Tried it on at a nearby STP store.
The XL size fits true to sizes, relatively snug on top but roomy enough to wear a light/midweigth fleece and shirt underneath.
The bottom is relatively loose but acceptable. The hood and body has the sherpa like lining but Not the sleeves which is unlined and is the fabric of the jacket itself.
Feels like a regular fullzip hoody sweatshirt but with some sherpa lining for warm in the torso and head but your arms may be cold in colder weather. Fabric doesn't appear to be dense to block out the wind, similar to most sweatshirts which do Not!
It's relatively heavy because of the lining but still a good sweatshirt if you've never owned a sherpa lined version.
Not many clothing makers make sherpa lining in the sleeves but some do but are hard to find.
The sweatshirt isn't anything special and does look nice but is Pricey as you're basically buying the brand name, Marmot.

Own the 2 inch inflatable pad and it works well.
Open the valve and let the air inflate though it'll take awhile.
If you want a firmer pad, then blow into it then shut the valve. Be careful not to over inflate the pad for a firm pad as it may pop.
It's easy to clean and relatively easy to store into its own stuff bag.
Buy when it's on sale.

Bought an older version from years ago and it still fits. Appears that Marmot is finally retiring this jacket.
It's windproof and water resistant. It can be worn in cooler temps during the autumn but not a winter's jacket as it's not insulated. The fleece backing is Very light.
Soft shell jackets are meant to provide some slight insulation, more than a shell, but still enough durability of a shell. It's also meant for relatively Active sports not just to be worn around town.
I'm in-between sizes so I can fit both a large and XL.
Originally had a large but thought I lost it so I bought the XL but then I found the large jacket now I'm stuck with both. Both are essentially the same except for the wrist closure which changed.
Besides the high price, the cut affects the jacket is it's a slim cut.
The large can be worn with a regular shirt but it's still tight overall esp. in the chest and shoulders. It has an elastic wrist closure.
The XL can be worn with a fleece vest or a light (fleece) sweater but it's still tight in the shoulders/arms but more roomier in the chest and body. It has the adjustable velcro wrist closure.
So if you want to layer, then choose the larger size.
