Great jacket
I was looking for a thinner down jacket to wear on its own or under ski jackets. I have an old really puffy one that you can wear under a shell jacket but not a full ski jacket. The Marmot Venus is just what I wanted. It is very light and comfortable and just fits under my ski jackets. I haven't worn it in the rain so can't comment on its water protection. I have taken it out on chilly fall evenings in Utah and it is perfect for that. I think it runs a bit small - I usually wear a size medium but need a large in this jacket. It is expensive at full price but I think it will be a jacket that you wear for many seasons. If it helps with sizing, I am 5'9" 150lbs and have broad shoulders.

Very light and comfortable. Taking it to Peru to trek Machu Picchu. Ordered a small first. 5'6" 118lbs. Fit was a little short. Not much room in shoulders to wear layers underneath. Looked cute though. Exchanged for a medium. Not quite as flattering, but much more versitale.

great jacket, dk violet beautiful
I purchased this jacket to have a lightweight down jacket for skiing and casual. I wore it all winter and loved it! The dark violet is a gorgeous purple, one of the nicest purple jackets I've seen in years. I found the cut of this jacket to fit better than most other brands I compared to.

Love this coat!
It was exactly what I expected, and I love it. This coat is so lightweight you can take it everywhere. I was looking for a down coat that wasn't heavy and bulky, and this is exactly what I wanted. It is light as a feather, but kept me warm walking to work even in 20 degree weather. I love it b/c when I'm shopping in the winter, I don't want to sweat in heavy coat when I'm inside. The size was accurate, I ordered the Large to accomodate my chest size and I was pleased to see that the sleeves were not too long. I bought it in Green and have gotten a ton of compliments. My coworker admired it the other day, and i took it off to show her how lightweight it was. Very versitle and I recommend it for anyone looking for a warm, light weight coat.
