I've had the jacket long enough to try it in temperatures ranging from the high teens to the mid-30s and on both calm and breezy days. I'm happy with it, but disagree with those who maintain that it is remarkably warm. I've seen nothing remarkable about it and have thought it only modestly warmer than my Denali that it replaces. It does block the wind fairly well, but my sense is that for temps below freezing I'll stick with my Ibex loden or TNF down.

I think the sound is fine but the cord seems too long and the weight of the volume controller bouncing about is kind of irritating at time. I don't know that I'd buy them again.

Great product. I finally got smart and started adding them to my water bottle when working out, instead of saving them for the Camelback. Slow learner. :)My favorite by far is Lemon-lime. It was not available when I last ordered so I got the Kona Cola which I really don't much care for. I guess I now know better what flavors I find refreshing.

I love these shorts! I have four pairs and they hold up spectacularly -- my oldest ones date back to 2005 or so and they still hold up to three spin classes (and subsequent washes) each week. I've worn lots of different bike shorts in the past; none have compared favorably to these. They don't stretch and bag out, the remain in place, padding is great. Excellent value!

I searched this out because I love Power Stretch and the few I have (which must be 10 years old now) were starting to look, well, not new. I really like the Marmot. It is heavier than my others and won't bridge seasons as well, but I've sure used it a lot this winter. The long sleeves are especially welcome as I have long arms and hate a gap at the wrist.

I'd give this jacket two thumbs up if it weren't for two nagging issues. First, the sleeves are a little short on me. I have 3 other North Face jackets in size large and the sleeves are always plenty long. But on this one, there is a cool air gap between my jacket and my gloves and I really don't like that. It's great to be toasty warm (and the jacket is WAY warm), but then to have that gap is a bummer. Second complaint is about the cinch cord at the bottom. On mine, the little pieces on each side that are supposed to secure the elastic drawcord at your chosen setting just won't hold. Disappointing and, again, a little irritating. As I use this primarily for just walking the dog, I can deal with it. But if I had bought the coat for more technical uses, it'd be headed back as these two irritants would then be unacceptable.
