Reviews & Ratings for Marmot Kristina Jacket - Women's — 2 reviews — Page 1

I am very happy with this jacket. It is lightweight yet substantial; the outer fabric is water and wind proof and much more substantial than the thin very lightweight performance type Jackets. I have not felt even a stiff wind, and was warm in 40 degree temps without layering. The lining is substantial and down ( no feathers since the insulation is all down)
has not poked out the way it does in cheaper jackets. There is a zippered pocket underneath the magnetic storm flap ( no Velcro to catch on sweaters which is a nice touch) big enough for my phone /small wallet which can be accessed without unzipping the jacket. That is a thoughtful feature that allows me to reach either without unzipping the jacket, but still keeps both secure. I bought the marmot Stollbrige a few years ago, and while I find that it is softer it is not nearly as warm, since it is not windproof and just turns heavy and wet in the rain/sleet. Nice 3/4 length which is long enough to keep me warm but not so long as to be cumbersome to move around in.

The disadvantages: outer fabric is stiffer and thus less comfortable than softer, thinner jackets ,and I don’t like the large flaps covering the handwarmer pockets. The sizing seems
A bit odd to me. I have small shoulders and am only 5’ 3” yet the xsmall shoulders were tight. The small fit better but the shoulders are still smaller than I would have expected.
Still, those are minor issues for a well made good quality warm yet lightweight versatile winter ...

I really wanted to love this parka. I ordered a Medium but even a large would have been too small. Because of the stylish fitted design, it is very snug in the shoulders and hips. Very little room for movement or any underlayering. Feels like it might have been warm except fo the arms. Sent it back.
