Fits just like the old one but with a better outside material.
Do NOT expect the jacket to be thick and warm. This is a light weight jacket, with a thin soft inner fleece (?) layer inside. I was pleasantly surprised that the seams are taped. I find the wind and water resistance to be good; keep in mind this is a softshell jacket (not a hardshell jacket), so do not expect it to be 100% water/wind proof. Also, the fit of the jacket is on the “sporty” side; if you have a big belly, the waist area of the jacket might feel tight. Overall, I am very happy with the jacket, and I primarily use it at the start of morning spring/autumn hikes.
I needed something to transition from fall and spring. This jacket covers all the bases for me-light weight, rain resistant with taped seams and wind proof. It has large zippered side pockets and a smaller zippered inner chest pocket suitable for a smartphone. I have found it perfect for 65F down to 45F. It is not baggy, i.e., is trim fit; therefore, is not suitable for thick layers of clothing beneath. Marmot clothing has a lifetime guarantee against defects in materials, which I find reassuring.
