Marmot  Novus Insulated Hoody - Men's

I'm a Medium with a slight Athletic Build, I can wear a North Face Junction Insulated Jacket and a North Face Ventrix Jacket in the Medium Size without any problem. For the Marmot Novus, the length is perfect and I can zip up with no problems (should be able to layer a fleece zip or vest inside), just the arms are tight. Basically I feel that I can rip the sleeves around the shoulders if I'm lifting my arms up to put something into the overhead compartment. If there was more room around the shoulders or even if the material is more flexible, would definitely give this jacket full five stars. The material is light and feels very comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has worked very well at 25-45F when strolling in the woods or in town. Very pleased with how breathable it is and how warm it is able to go without needing to remove it.. It has been mild this winter so I have been wearing the novus lt hybrid a hint more. But when the weather gets colder, looking forward to wearing this as a midlayer for snowboarding (5F-20F) Really like the flexibility and fit. Despite being made of nylon, it is soft and comfortable against skin. Does not tug at the shoulders when doing windmills and moving my arms around. Medium probably would have worked, but was just a bit too restrictive for me so I went with the large.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had bought the Novus light last year for walking in colder temperatures. It worked so well I knew I had to have the regular Novus for even colder temperatures. This jacket is everything the light version is. It’s just warmer. I have been enjoying it well down into the low 30’s F, when going to the store or running errands. Both jackets work great as stand alone jackets or as a mid layer or cover for a mid layer when the temps turn even colder. The only negative I found is the inside and outside of the jacket are the same color and like material, and a couple of times I almost put it on inside out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't find the Men's WarmCube Active Novus Hoody in the list. I picked one up an Auburn Men's WarmCube Active Novus Hoody up last year. The fit is remarkable and comfortable. The WarmCube design disipates extra heat when it warms up and it kept me toasty down to -30C. I got caught in a rainstorm, and although it got a little wet, I stayed dry and the jacket dried very quickly without any extra effort. The colour of the jacket was brighter than on the website, which was a good surprise. The material is robust and the sleeve length was just right. I was impressed by the hood that it covered my head and stayed on without impeding my view. It was warm enough that I didn't need a hat underneath. The design of this jacket is perfect for casual to medium light activities in late fall all the way into winter chill. It is not completely windproof, but the warmth it provides overcomes and wind that gets through. Adding one layer beneath it, makes it perfect for freezing temperatures. I would buy this jacket again and again.

I love this thing. I bought 3 of them size is exactly same .real colors better than photos

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As others have said, this is a great, toasty jacket - the warmest non-down jacket in my closet, which is exactly why I bought it. I love everything about it except that the arms are tight. I'm an old distance runner & a long way from having giant arms, but especially in the forearms this is on the edge of too tight, even with nothing but a T underneath. I can take tight arms in a fleece jacket and while I can't imagine I'd try to layer under this, it would be impossible. I have several Marmot jackets (6-7?) from different years & styles and have never worn anything but a L. Moving up to an XL seems like a mistake since the jacket fits great everywhere else and I'm not looking for a big baggy puffy. Still thinking about whether to return it or not.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 5'8" with an athletic build and spend the majority of my day outside almost every day. This is hands down the best hoody I own. It keeps me warm when it's cold outside, doesn't over-heat with (reasonable) activity, and looks professional if this style is acceptable in your workplace. I also have kids in my house and this jacket has been no stranger to food, dirt, or debris. It was washed well, maintaining it's size, color, and feel. It also layers well with a shell for protection against wet weather.

I’ve always had good luck with Marmot. This jacket feels lightweight, but is just puffy enough to keep you warm - warmer than you’d guess. The hood is also great for keeping your head warm. It’s also good in light rain. I’d buy it again.

It’s a tough, warm, reliable cool-weather layer—but don’t expect it to behave like true active insulation. Great for chores, casual hikes, dog walks, and cold-weather hanging out. Not great for hammering on the bike or anything high-intensity. This review is based off of wearing the Novus Hoody over a three day period in 28–42°F weather, and it’s a mixed bag—but mostly good. Day 1 was MTB: just a base layer underneath and I cooked myself. The jacket moves well and has great shoulder mobility, but it’s too warm and a bit too bulky for real high-output riding. I sweat straight through it, and once this thing gets wet… it takes forever to dry. Day 2 was yard work/tree climbing: honestly, the Novus was perfect here. The stretch ripstop is legit, it laughs off branches, and the wind resistance is excellent. Warmth was spot-on for stop-and-go work. Day 3 was a light hike post-ride layer: this is the jacket’s sweet spot. Moderate activity in cold weather, no problem. As a post-ride layer, it soaked up some sweat, and again—slow to dry. Like: super warm, great wind protection, durable, comfy range of motion. Don’t Like: too bulky for “active wear,” overheats fast, dries slow, could use some reflective bits for evenings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jacket is slightly puffy which makes it feel very cozy to wear. Love the materials, well made, comfortable, and mostly fits nicely except the sleeves are a bit long. For anyone interested in the Dark Azure color, be aware that the photos online don’t accurately represent the real color in person. Online looks like it’s a bright vibrant blue. In reality, it’s more of a darker royal blue (which looks gorgeous but not what I was expecting). Still love it though.
