Marmot Men's Eldridge Novelty Classic Short-Sleeve (Spring 2026) in Space Stripe

Owners report Marmot fits true to size overall, with the rain pants and some bottoms running slightly roomy.

On the core jackets, retailer fit data is one-sided: every Zappos sizing respondent for the PreCip rated it true to size, with owners noting room for a light layer underneath and some deliberately going up a size only to fit bulky mid-layers. Sizing-guide roundups agree that Marmot jackets typically run true to size and track other American outdoor brands. The soft spot is bottoms: CleverHiker's PreCip Eco rain pants review says the fit runs slightly big and suggests sizing down, and owner feedback on shorts and sweatpants echoes a somewhat generous cut. Cuts also skew trimmer on athletic-fit styles, so per-item reviews are worth a glance on slim-labeled pieces.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size in jackets and tops (go up one only if you layer heavily); consider sizing down in the rain pants and other roomy bottoms.

Marmot's flannel button-ups get consistent praise for material feel and stitching: Zappos buyers call the Jasper flannel a "high quality flannel" with "great quality of material and craftsmanship," and say it "comes out of the dryer looking like brand new every time" wash after wash. A long-term wearer of the Ridgefield reported the construction "has held up remarkably well," crediting "durable flat-felled seams" that resist fraying. The recurring gripes are fit and breathability: one Jasper buyer said "Fit and Size ran tight and small," with a reviewer noting Indonesia-made units ran "much tighter" than expected before washing, and testers of the non-stretch flannel weaves warn the fabric "could become a victim of over-motion—potentially ripping on the shoulders" and "does not get an A+ for breathability" in warm weather.

Strengths

Owners consistently praise the flannel's substantial feel and durable stitching, saying it holds up well wash after wash without fading or losing shape.

Watch out for

Sizing runs inconsistent by style and manufacturing run, with some cuts fitting tight and the non-stretch weaves prone to breathability complaints and shoulder strain during high movement.

Sizing

Fit varies by specific style and production run - some flannels size tight (buyers flagged Indonesia-made pieces in particular), so checking the item's own reviews before ordering is worth it.
