i have three of these!
stylish and functional--what more could you ask for? i have this jacket in three colors, and have gotten many compliments. i love the interior pockets, including one for the removable hood. they do run a bit small up top. the only complaints i have are the dinky little pockets in front and the equally dinky zipper pulls on the pockets and cuffs--really useless. but i've heard for the 2011 season there will be a couple redesigns, so here's hoping!

Way better than I expected
I wanted a stylish raincoat that I could also wear to work and this jacket fulfills everything. The mid-thigh length is great as for professional/work days but also keeps my jeans dry when I am casually dressed. I went with the Granite color instead of black because I have endless black jackets and it turned out to be a great choice; it works well with all colors of scarves and jeans or black dressy pants. I couldn't be more pleased; it fits well with and without a sweater underneath, the interior pockets are handy for keeping my cell phone dry yet accessible, and the fitted feminine shape isn't boxy or straight nor the material plastic-y. The weather has been very extreme in Maryland all year with only downpours or totally dry weather so my experience has been with severe rain storms and I am happy!

Love the style and fabric - despite the flaws
Some of the issues that have been pointed out in other reviews will be echoed here: sizes run small, side pockets are weird, sleeves are a bit short. But overall, you get much nicer styling than you do on other high performance rain gear. I like the fact that you can zip open from the bottom to create more room at the hips. Very comfortable jacket, with a nice non-shiny fabric that is appropriate for professional contexts. Now, if I could just get the word Marmot off the sleeve...
