Novus LT Insulated Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket fits great. It’s great for cold weather. I bought it for running in the park. Everything about it is terrific except the ginger collar appears to be much brighter on my laptop and on my phone then it is when you see the product in front of you. I wanted something bright orange so people see me. It is not a dealbreaker, but potential buyer should be aware that the orange is more muted than it appears to be on the website. That’s why it is 4 instead of 5 stars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I picked up the Marmot Novus LT Jacket during a sale, and overall, it’s been an excellent addition to my layering system. As someone who appreciates bold, vibrant gear, the color is... intriguing—somewhere between yellow and orange, without fully committing to either. It’s the only thing I wasn’t 100% sold on. That said, function outweighs fashion in the outdoors, and this jacket absolutely delivers where it counts. The Novus LT is impressively light and breathable, yet still warm enough for high-output missions in cold conditions. The PrimaLoft® Silver Active insulation works like a charm, keeping me warm even in damp or wet environments. Unlike down, it doesn’t lose performance when moisture creeps in—a huge plus when you're breaking a sweat on alpine starts or unexpected drizzle hits mid-route. Marmot nailed the design here: flexible ripstop fabric, gusseted underarms, and articulated elbows give it a great fit and full range of motion—ideal for climbing, hiking, or ski touring. Pockets are smartly placed, and the drawcord hem keeps cold air from sneaking in. Marmot has always been a go-to brand for dependable quality, and this jacket is no exception. Whether you're using it as a mid-layer under a shell or rocking it solo in mild conditions, the Novus LT punches way above its weight.
