After finally getting them, I thought I'd post them for easier comparison by others.

Good point on the 850 vs. 800 fill power.
A rough, first-order, conversion between the two is possible, assuming full loft, etc., by simply multiplying the weight of 850 fill-power down by 1.0625 to arrive at an 'equivalent' weight of 800 fill-power. (850/800=1.0625).
Thus, the 13.6 oz of 850 down in the EB is 'equivalent' to about 14.5 oz of 800 fill-power down.
Also, I got some info on the new Mountain Hardwear Nilas Jacket (850 fill-power):

22.25oz 7.6 oz (~8.1oz 800 fill-power equivalent)

Yes very helpful. Although I own the Peak XV and feel it is worth pointing out the fill power is 850 and not 800 as with the others (true of both the 2010 and 2011 versions).

Tama, these are past seasons products and they do not usually get more stock. One other place you could look is www.geartrade.com where BC sells their returned merchandise.

Nope, that's why it's clearance price.. which means it likely will not be restocked in those sizes..

I took this jacket up Aconcagua and I couldn't believe how warm it was. After all my conventional layer wouldn't cut it in the cold weather this guy made it all go away. I found it to be too cold once I really started getting active.

My favorite parka. Wore it on Denali. Pulling into camp and slipping on this gem was heaven. The front pockets instantly warm your hands and the massive interior pockets swallow a waterbottle, spare mittens and some snacks easily. Summit was -30 F with windchill. Stayed there completely exposed for 30 minutes before needing to get moving. Otherwise, was warm the entire trip.

I'm 6'0" and 150 lbs. I am happy with large ... leaves a bit of room if you want to layer underneath (rarely need to though).

This is right between sizes. I think I would start with a Large.

Hi, I have a 8000m parka and I found a hole (about an inch long) in the shoulder area (between the shoulder and the neck). Does anyone know which would be the best way to fix it? Thanks

Surprisingly, I found that a ripstop nylon tape repair kit works great. I used an REI kit on my down jacket and it's holding up great, even through a machine wash and tumble dry.
However, matching the color is pretty much out the window.

if not, maybe some iron-on seam tape (find it in the tent repair section) or some very strong fabric glue.

You should probably just talk to someone at marmot. They have a lifetime warranty so they should be able to fix it for you.

This jacket is great! Great color. Great fit. So warm you only have to wear a lightish base layer underneath even at high altitudes on big mountains. If you like being toasty while the winds are howling, this is the jacket for you. Marmot makes great products across the board.

Multiple reviewers have noted that Mountain Hardware's Absolute
Multiple reviewers have noted that Mountain Hardware's Absolute Zero parka has issues with loft migrating in the arms. And multiple reviewers have note that The North Face's Himalayan Parka has zipper issues. Are there any notable issues with this jacket? Migrating down and problematic zippers are not something to be taken lightly at altitude.

All down jackets have down shift from the inside of the arm to the outside unless extremely over stuffed or baffled at this location, This is due to the inside of the arm brushing against the body and arm flex at the elbow joint. Down shift with resulting cold spots is a major drawback in the use of down as an insulation. Requires regular "patting it back" to keep it well distributed.

THIS PARKA COULD BE GREAT IF IT WAS FULLY LOFTED. not Everest or arctic ready no way . I tried a XL along with the
rest of them. the specs are wrong !!!!!! all the major brands need more down call it a overfill or a shortage .
don't freeze, to death, be careful , the garment should be firm everywhere so strong wind won,t flatten any area.
marmot knows better. I could write a short book on down jackets and sleeping bags,

Captain Caps you are insane and I would never read such a book. This jacket is tight and flawless and performs perfectly. It's all my outfit uses and recommends to our clients. Did you wear the plastic bag it came in by accident? ;)

MY PERSPECTIVE:
YOU WILL NEVER GO WRONG IF YOU BUY THE MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR ABSOLUTE ZERO DOWN PARKA! IT HAS OVER 20 OUNCES OF DOWN, WITH EVEN BAFFLED CONSTRUCTION AND WILL KEEP YOU WARM IN THE WORLD'S WORST, COLDEST AND MOST WICKED WEATHER!!!
Is this jacket made in America (Canada, US, Mexico...) or is
Is this jacket made in America (Canada, US, Mexico...) or is it an import from the the Far East?

Hi,I am interested in to pay Marmot 8000M Parka Borfire/Fire / XL. On the web page www.thefind.com the price is 431.21 (concerning backcountry.com) and in backcountry.com page the price is 549.55. Which one is right?RegardsAri SerkkolaFinland
By: Ari Serkkola

Well you can always contact backcountry.com, but if they post the price are $549.55, then that most likely is the price. The other price you found is probably from an old outdated sale, and has not been changed.

I bought this Marmot 8000M Parka in 2003 to wear to the Playoffs for the NE Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA. The temps were 5 degrees with a wind chill of 17 below. Brrrrrr! I was toasty in my Marmot 8000M. The Men’s size small fit me perfectly (women’s jackets didn't seem warm enough for the New England weather at night in Gillette). We beat the Titans. We beat the Colts. We beat the Panthers. WE WON THE SUPERBOWL and I beat the weather in my Marmot 8000M!! YEAH!! GO PATS AND MARMOT!!
PS: As a Season Ticket Holder, I go to ALL the home games. And even though my seats are in the sky (where it's very cold, especially at night), I welcome the cold weather 'cos that's when the Pats play best and I know I'll be WARM in my Marmot 8000M! I LOVE this jacket!
By the way, that guru photo is not me.
Rab and feathered friends tells you how many grams of down are
Rab and feathered friends tells you how many grams of down are in there jackets. How many grams of down is in the Marmot 8000 parka? Thanks, Mark
I called Marmot today and this is what the representative told me regarding the down fill for Marmot's 8000m collection. I'm assuming these specs are all for Medium.
8000m Pant-296grams / 10.44 oz
8000m Parka-504grams / 17.77 oz
8000m Suit - 692grams / 24.4oz
