This review is from: Marmot Leadville Jacket - Men's (Misc.)
I bought this one on-line sight unseen and it's more substantial than I thought. I also have the Gravity jacket (M1 fabric - warmest) and it's only slightly more thick than this one; this one is M2 fabric. I would almost wear the two of them interchangeably as far as warmth goes as both of them have a fabric lining.

From their website:
Both have the same attributes: windproof, water resistant, and breathable.
and
M2 is: Water-Repellent, Highly Breathable, Wind-Resistant, Durable and Warm.
M1 is: Water-Resistant, Breathable, Windproof, Durable, Warm, Stretch.

But the Leadville shell is much softer; I would exercise with the Leadville because of this. So I would probably wear this one for exercise and the Gravity for urban wear.

Pros: Very soft inside and out. Warm.

The jacket is what I expected. Keeps you warm and good and wind resistance. The sleeves are a little long for me. The sleeves are also tighter than I expected.

I love this jacket. It's a great layering piece - the Windstopper does its job, it's well vented, and the lack of insulation means that when appropriately layered it's very functional all the way up into the 40s/50s. I've been using it as a day-to-day jacket since I got it, as well as for hiking and trail running. the jacket does it all.

No real complaints on the jacket, though if I had design input a two-way zipper would have been an awesome addition, as would have been a 4th external pocket, perhaps on the sleeve (would be swell for an iPod/phone).
