Marmot Approach Softshell Jacket - Men's
Just Right
By John Pruitt July 25, 2011
I was looking for a nice thin softshell without a hood. I have a BC.com welder softshell and liked it but wanted something a little loser fit and with no hood. I would say the thickness is close with out the fleecy lining of the welder.
This fit the bill. Not too tight and fit is great. I wear an XL in most jackets and this was perfect.
If you are looking for a thick softshell to keep you warm on a frigid day this is not your jacket. But if you want somethign light for those high output days you can't beat it.
