"I've owned this jacket for over two years and it is first rate. Windproof, durable, breathable, and warm. What else do you need? It's not waterproof, so I don't wear in downpours, but in all other weather it's all I need. I can wear it to about 30 degrees. Cooler than that and I switch to something heavier. No signs of wear even at this point."

"awesome soft shell. the windstopper fabric is as advertised. i have layered with this softshell and it has been sufficient to keep me warm throughout my daily activities in michigan winters.

i have now owned this shell for 4 years and it looks as "sharp" as the day i got it, and that is with daily use."

"I've only had my Sharp Point for a few weeks but it's quickly becoming my favorite softshell. My other 2 jackets (G50, Gamma SV) are good but the Sharp Point combines the best of both jackets into one.

The Sharp Point is made of Windstopper fabric like my SV but the availability of pit zips makes this jacket far more versatile."

"I purchased a men's Marmot Sharp Point Jacket, size small from REI. com.

Pros:
Excellent construction; great attention to detail.
Good fit; it is a trim cut but there is still room for layering underneath.
Outer nylon fabric is very durable."

"The Sharp Point is a very well made jacket. If you want a shoft shell for climbing take a look at the other brands. My climbing harness and back belt prevented use of the side pockets."

"This a great jacket (if you can afford it). Luckily, I had a big dividend from REI and got it for a great price.

I tried several other soft shells, particularly in the Marmot line and liked the Sharp Point best. Why? It's very light and has a very nice hand (soft feel)."
