Had a customer call in and apparently the zippers on this latest batch of Cobalt Blue / Mediums are having issues.
The zippers are plastic, and the initial connection when trying to zip up is difficult, the actual zip up is fine, and when you're trying to unzip it gives you troubles.
The customers son has the same jacket, different color and size and the zippers seem to be fine.
I'm imagining the next batch of jackets will be up to par though.
Customer loved the jacket, minus the zipper issues.

It's not so bulky like the product photo shows. Well, it's warm and comfortable in cold days. Ama dablam is not for the midlayer. It's a much better down jacket for hanging in town. S can perfect fit 1.72m 66kg.

I'm comparing this down with Montbell alpine light down parka now.
Marmont ama dablam is: 800fp, 18oz, polyester and Montbell alpine is: 800fp, 15.7oz, nylon. Can anyone tell me which one is warmer? least down leaking? shell is not easy to be teared. I use it not for outdoor sporting, just regular wearing, at around 5F degree, midlayer wearing. thanks,

My brother got this jacket for me in fall 2009, I have worn it absolutely every season, and every time I go out without it, I wish I had it. It is coffee-stained, a little wrinkled, well-loved, and still my go-to for winter weather. I'll admit, I have tried on warmer jackets, but I've never NEEDED anything warmer than this; throw a waterproof shell overtop in extreme conditions and you're set for whatever might come. It moves well, it packs well, it does it's job, and I've only lost maybe a tiny handful of stuffing in 4 years.

The hood might be my favorite extreme -cold feature, fitting over a helmet, hugging my face comfortably and being easy to adjust.

This isn't an extremely durable piece (see: lightweight), but it's held up to a few intense bush-wacking sessions, a few solid ski runs through forested terrain, and been squashed and snagged on 4 years-worth of gear ranging from casual hiker to vertical mountaineering.

When this jacket finally gives in to all the crap I've put it through, I'll probably be shopping for the same one!

Still Going, 4 years later...

I am 6 foot and 165 and this down jacket fit the best of a bunch I've had. I like that it is a tad bit longer than some which helps keep the wind from shooting up at your waist. the hand pockets are very soft as well and the hood cinches down in a few different ways to help you stay very warm. it has a plastic zipper which I actually prefer to metal in cold weather. I don't know why other brands have not caught on more about the concept of plastic not freezing in the cold (with respect to zippers)

Sizing: Picked up a Medium and it's perfect for me, 5'11" 170lbs

Picked up this jacket for a ski trip up to Jackson Hole. Perfect mid-layer for the below 0 starts to the day and a pretty awesome piece for around town at night, although I did have to do some extra layering underneath for the bar hopping. Lightweight, warm and still holds style to wear alone wherever you may be in the freezing temps. Only the 4th down jacket I've owned, but by far my favorite!

Great jacket, but very fragile. I had two small tears within the first month (which results in feathers flying everywhere!).

How does this compare to the Mountain...

How does this compare to the Mountain Hardwear Hooded Phantom Down Jacket? I'm specifically interested in the fit and the amount of down fill in these jackets. I'm looking for a lightweight puffy to put on during stops while winter hiking.

from Bishop in the winter to my new digs in the Southeast, this coat comes out bouldering every weekend during sending season. Never leave home without it. Crams nice into a pad without taking up a ton of space, fleecy pcokets are clutch too. Recommended.

This is a midlayer, it's not waterproof, or wind proof. It is too warm to ski in and way to warm to climb in. The fabric is light and thin, so don't expect abrasion resistance.

Wear this on a cold climbing trip as a belay jacket. Or as a warm layer to put on during breaks while ski touring or mountaineering.

This is a great warm layer under a shell.

I wanted to like this jacket so much, but alas. The fit and the weight is great, but ... The sleeves smelled like chicken fur, I have several other 800 fill jackets and none of them stink like that. I was gonna try and wash away the smell but then I noticed that part of the stitching on front of the jacket was loose and not stitched properly. That was it for me, I'm gonna be sending this one back.

This jacket is awesome. Yes, the jacket is a little fragile, but most down jackets are and you just have to be careful with them. Anyway, this jacket isn't super stuffed with down, so it's not the warmest. The 800 fill down helps cut weight for the amount of warmth it provides though. The cut is however amazing. It fits very loosely in the shoulder/chest and then tapers at the waist. The perfect down jacket cut, in my opinion, since it's supposed to fit over all your other layers. This jacket fits easily over a merino baselayer, a 200-weight fleece, an Atom LT, and a Theta SV. Because of the cut, this jacket is very lofty and warm if worn on the outside! If you wear it as a midlayer, it won't be nearly as warm because you would be compressing all of the loft. Basically, it's warm if you wear it properly! Also, the hood fits easily over a helmet and cinches down well to trap heat in.

Bottom line: this jacket can't be beat for the price.

I expected warmth from this 800 fill, well reviewed jacket. Personally I found the 650 fill Hooded Guides warmer. But I returned both for the Montane North Star.

The Ama Dablam is super comfy. The whole jacket is so soft and light. It's great for hanging out in a chill, but layer up for the cold. Wearing a t-shirt underneath in 30F weather, I got cold in about 5 min.

Fill power doesn't equal warmer, its a quality rating.

This is not a stand alone Jacket for serious cold, it is an additional Layering Jacket.

I love this jacket. It's one of my favorite cold weather jackets, it's so light for how warm it is. Keeps me the perfect temp, very comfortable, true sizing. Nice soft lines hand warmer pockets, stuffs into its own pocket. Insulated hood keeps the ol'noggin warm. Overall, this is a must have piece if your looking for a warm down jacket.

Quality down, light and compressible. Practical jacket punching above its weight in the price range. Minimal bells and whistles, cuffs seal well, warm pockets. Out fabric a bit delicate and at risk if used as outer layer in rough conditions. I'm 6'2", 205 lbs and Large is perfect.

This jacket is warm,fashionable and awesome.... with 800 fill it is not too puffy like some down coats..... I would recommend sizing down. I am usually a M in my jacket sizing and find a S to be rather fit but still very comfortable if you are layering nothing more than a sweater! Go for the gusto and keep warm.
