Reach for the oh-so-soft Marmot Women's Radiant Jacket when the ski hill looks particularly chilly or when you're headed into town on a coffee run. Marmot made this fleece layering jacket with Polartec's long-fibered Thermal Pro Persian fabric—this lightweight fleece fabric retains warmth better than standard fleece and also feels great against the skin. Thumbhole cuffs and flat-lock seam construction eliminate bunching when you wear the Radiant Jacket under a shell.
Bottom Line: The Marmot Radiant Jacket harnesses the power of your own hotness.
I have the blue and definitely like it a lot. people ask me where i got it all the time. I basically lived in it for the first week I owned it and considered buying the green as well. My only complaint is that the sleeves are sort of short so the thumb loops do not work that well. However, i might just have long arms.
The jacket is cute, comfortable and fits true to size. However, the green is much deeper and brighter than it seems in the picture. I felt like Kermit the Frog wearing it. I like the jacket, but not the color. I think I'll try the dark blue instead!
at first, I was unsure about this jacket. I'll admit it. But I needed a fleece to layer under my hardshell, and this one was in the price range. I pulled the trigger, and I'm glad I did. It's a lot warmer than I thought it would be. I wouldn't wear it on its own in a windstorm, but it's excellent for layering. Good heat retention, and I haven't had a problem with overheating or moisture. I've also worn it as a cardigan during cold days at the office and got compliments on how cute it is. That's a definite plus.
The sleeves are a fine length for me; I'm only 5'2", but I have average-length arms. I can use the thumb loops easily. I love the way they keep my wrists extra-warm when I shove them into gloves. I also love how they keep this jacket's sleeves from bunching up inside my hardshell.
