Mammut Broad Peak II Down Jacket - Men's

All in all I was fairly happy with this jacket. I picked it up during a great sale, so I have no complaints. I purchased it to have a nice, warm jacket in the evenings while guiding in Yosemite... and for that purpose it certainly is not bad. However, for the price you are very close to buying a Feathered Friends or Western Mountaineering jacket that will have 850 fill, and more of it. The dollar to fill and weight ratio of this jacket means you are paying more for less, and ultimately getting more shell material, less down, and lower quality down than you could otherwise. With that being said I wound up picking up a Feathered Friends jacket that weighs two ounces less, and has significantly more down, and uses 850 fill instead of 750.

My only other minor complaint with this jacket is the already mentioned 'beer belly cut'. I'm 6'2 and about 165 lbs and this jacket leaves me looking like I bought it at a maternity shop. Not to mention, Mammut gear always runs small since they're always working the sizing game, so be prepared gamble on sizing... or buy two and send one back. Just keep the tags on it to be cool to the folks at Backcountry!

The feel of the Pertex shell is great, and it is a very lightweight jacket, so it feels good to wear. I'm just not a big fan of looking pregnant.

Great mid-layer or for those 20 degree days when your out and about. It is light!!!! Perfect for packing up and taking out on any adventure; takes up minimal space in the pack. Went XL, glad I did, fits like a large would in Mtn. Hardwear or TNF do. Few have this, like a previous review stated, everyone rocking Patagoochie, its nice to be different and stand out. My one gripe is it does shed feathers more than any other down jacket I have owned. Its not a major issue, but something I noticed, thats why I give it four stars.

got this jacket as an early x-mas gift and love it, its so light i wonder why im so warm sometimes then remember im wearing it. However, it is getting returned because it simply wont stop leaking down, just when i thought it had stopped a whole bunch more feathers sticking out. quite disappointed. i got a mont bell instead and so far so good.

Sweet jacket that is super lightweight and pack down really small. I've been using this as a part of my layering system in place of a larger hooded belay jacket and find it to be a great alternative. The huge hooded puffys definitely have their place but 90% of the time they are overkill. This jacket will keep you warm when you need it to and you won't even notice it in your pack. An essential piece.

This is an extremely warm jacket...especially for how thin it is. I'm wearing it as my primary jacket here in the mountains of Afghanistan. Lows in the low 20's so far. So far it has worked great. My only two issues are that it fits perfectly everywhere but under the arms. Not a huge deal, but when you reach for something you can definately feel some restriction. The other minor issur is that the zipper seems to be a bit difficult to initially zip. This might be because it is a dual zip (zips from the bottom up as well) but not sure. I will say being able to zip up the bottom zipper is a really nice feature. Overall great so far, just remember that you might consider going up a size. Oh...hand pockets don't zip either.

I got this jacket for my husband, so I had to guess a little bit on size and fit. He's 6'1", 180lbs with pretty long arms, pretty slim build... sometimes hard to fit as a large is usually way too boxy and big around the hips and shoulders... a medium's arms are sometimes too short. This jacket in a medium fits him perfectly!! It is very lightweight but has been keeping him warm in Montana's not-so-severe winter this year. Great style and not EVERYONE has this jacket, like the Patagonia down jackets. The only tiny complaint is that the side pockets don't have zippers... convenient but I think that after time they may start to bulge out when the jacket is a bit older and has lost its structure.

Just what a down sweater should be, Light trim and packable, on and warm This doesn't disapoint. Compared with others and its one of the lightest but fits good and packs in the chest pocket. Black and red zips is sharp. Mammut is rocking these days.
