great jacket
Great jacket by marmot, lightweight but still keeps the wind out Great for cold morning jog or long bike ride It is much better the other brand of windstopper material because of its matte finish

Marmot Leadville Jacket
Perfect if used for what it's intended to do. That means minor cold (30s, 40s), minor wind and rain. Water beads up on it quite impressively, though I wouldn't try a serious storm with it. (Other liquids do too; I've worn it in a restaurant once and I can say accurately that deflects barbecue sauce as well.) Fits quite well - a slim-fit - on me. I'm 5'10, 170 lbs and ordered a medium; my only complaint is that the sleeves are a little bit long. It's not so snug, though, that you can't put something under it if it's a bit colder outside. I often pair it with a hooded sweatshirt or a heavier sweater when the temps dip into the low thirties or anything below. On its own, it has a great range of motion and is quite flexible.

Best softshell for the money
Of all the softshells on the market Marmot has clearly done the best job of providing a great fitting, great performing jacket for a reasonable price. You just can't go wrong with this one. Not very thick but still keeps you warm thanks to great wind and water protection and breathes easy.

Love the jacket
Awesome jacket, it is really comfortable and very good material. I have already purchased this jacket as an oyster layer, but decided to get one in a size smaller to use by itself to train. It does a great job of keeping the wind out. I would highly recommend this jacket.

Get what you pay for
Great Jacket. I bought it for climbing in the fall/early winter as well as to use under a shell for skiing- basically what its described uses are. It is warm enough when moving - it would not be warm to just hang around in unless the temps are mild. This jacket is very versitle for aerobic activities. I used it for four days of sandstone climbing and it still looks like new. The fit was excellent - athletic but easy to move in (I'm 6'1" and 180lb a large fits perfect) it has a good amount of stretch and is cut to allow easy arm movement. Moderate rain is no problem and it keeps the wind out like a champ. I was a little scared off by the price at first, but the jacket is top quality in every detail, so you get what you pay for.
