Well made, lovely jacket - Marmot Ramble Component Jacket - Womens

I have to say right away that I have not had the opportunity to test this jacket in the rain (only dry weather since I got it) so this review is on features other than waterproofing. Runs mostly true to size. I'm 5ft 6 in, 130 lbs, and the medium fits well overall, but could have more room across the back of the shoulders. It's not restrictive, but I can feel a bit of resistance when reaching both arms forward. Without the liner inside, it is plenty roomy in the shoulders. Sleeve length good, overall length good. Falls at lower hip for good coverage but not too long. Fabric is wonderful on outer jacket - soft, smooth, really nice feel and look. The inner liner zips in easily and also fits well, with the caveat that it could use more room across the back of the shoulders. I got the raspberry color and it's really lovely - better than the picture - rich, actual raspberry, not red. The inner liner is dark pink - not as hot pink as the picture. The best thing about the liner is that unlike most fleece jackets, this one has smooth lining in the sleeves, making it really easy to put on and take off over knit clothing. The combination keeps me warm over just a long sleeve t-shirt weight top in 40 F weather - hasn't got colder than that since I bought it to test it beyond that. The quality is excellent - seams, fabric, shape, zippers, etc. all very well made. The fit is trim, which is what I wanted. It's shaped to a woman's form, not just a shapeless sack. By itself, the outer jacket is great for cool days. Because it is two layers (fully lined), it feels better next to the skin and offers a bit more warmth than a typical rain shell. Overall I really like this for its quality and multiple options, but am taking off a star because of the lack of roominess in the shoulders. And again, please note that I can't judge its waterproofness.
