Description

800-Fill for the chill.

Some 800-fill down jackets have insane puffiness going on. The Marmot Women’s Ama Dablam Down Jacket, however, does not. Hexagon-shaped seams on the Ama Dablam help maintain a low profile.
  • Down-filled hood for head warmth
  • DWR coating on the shell helps manage light moisture
  • Angel-Wing technology boosts arm mobility
  • Drop-tail hem adds coverage in back
  • Elastic drawcord at hem helps seal-in heat

Unfortunately, no dice. I'm 5'5 ~ 130lbs and the medium was way too big. I ordered a little larger so that I could fit other layers underneath, but the sizing was comical. The shoulders are cut a little bit funny, so it looked like I was wearing football pads underneath. The red was a good color.

I exchanged for a Small in green and while the fit was a little better (shoulders were still funny, but not awful) the color combined with the hexagon stitching was reminiscent of a ninja turtle costume. Ended up returning that one too.

I really wanted this jacket to work ? I love the idea of unzipping at the bottom for a harness. It seemed really warm too.

Hahhah, I like the description "remniscent of a ninja turtle costume." I can see that! Color is important to not look like something else. I got the OR down hoody in this maroon-purple color. Looks good by itself but on me looked like exposed muscle, like on the picture diagrams. I got a green one in a slightly different style, no nija turtle costume in that b/c it didnt have hexagons and was bi-colored. I got the black in this jacket. Boring, but hard to go wrong.

I have been wanting a jacket like this for awhile, when I saw the backcountry sale, I was hoping it was included, and it was! I have worn it every day since it arrived last week and completely love it! it even survived the blizzard of 2013 (kept me nice and warm while shoveling out and brushing off my jeep before we drove to the mountain)! From reading the other reviews I was nervous about it being too small or a color shade I didn't want. I am 5'5", 170 and I got the Bright Grass in XL. I probably would have also been fine in a L, but I do prefer jackets that are less tight, especially in the chest, so I can wear 2 or 3 items under (UA tshirt and longsleeve microfleece). I did not find the arms too long, which I was surprised about, since I don't have very long arms. I also didn't think it was too short in the front, and love how it covers you in the back! The bright grass color from 2012 is the same color as the green in the nature valley granola bar logo on the oat's and honey wrapper (or the NASTAR green). Exactly what I wanted! The fleece lined pockets are AMAZING, even at below freezing temperatures with no mitts or gloves, they warm your hands up right away! LOVE the jacket and hope it is sturdy and lasts!

I bought this jacket as a christmas present for my girlfriend. She tends to get very cold so I figured a puffy was a good call for this winters skiing and climbing seasons. In the month she has had it she has put it through quite a bit. It works fantastic as a layer; without excessive puff it fits nicely under outer shells. She wears it whenever she skis. Where I noticed the jacket stand out was its durability. My girlfriend wore it as an outer layer on multiple climbs, including some chimney pitches, and despite being dragged over quite a bit of rock it has not torn. She also had no problems with movement, the jacket allowed a full range of motion for the more awkward moves. Her only complaint was that the zipper sometimes is hard to manipulate especially with cold hands. Overall a stelar jacket and a definite five stars!

Exactly what I was hoping for with a thin winter coat. Love that it isn't super puffy (and quite the opposite actually)! It fits great (I'm 5'2" and 165lbs), and the color choices are awesome. Plus it's a great price. I have only had it for a couple months, but it has kept me warm in -12 degree weather with wind! The only thing I wish it had would be a zip off hood!!

Has all the features I wanted in a down jacket for climbing/belaying in cold weather: Down filled (600+), Hood (adjustable or elastic doesn't matter), Relatively durable shell (that 10D stuff seems so fragile), Relatively light but doesn't have to be super light, just not a traditional fashion jacket, Packs into own pocket (would settle for a separate bag, but prefer zipping into its own pocket), the more (large) pockets the better, Inside pockets (this one doesn't have a water bottle) but has a large zip pocket, Fits me more or less (not huge in the shoulders), cinchable bottom, double zip (hard to find, not even Rab has this on their current down jackets... Outdoor Research does), waist length, ... decent color on me. This has all the features. The other one that does is Outdoor Research Virtuoso, but that one is too big for me (I kept one anyway, and it has a giant inside pocket for water bottles).

I have been searching for a good down jacket for a while and this one caught my eyes in second. The design is cute, 800 fill keeps you warm throughout the winter. My favorite color was yellow, but they didn't have it in stock. So I ended up with Black and I was very satisfied.

I am 5'5'',90 lbs and XS was just a little bit large for me (very reasonable in this case). If they have yellow or black for kids', I wouldn't mind to get one. Really like the design and style. Recommend!

Holding up to Marmot quality. Lightweight without being flimsy. It has kept me warm on colder days and the double zipper feature is great when I overheat. The large interior zip pocket has come in handy when I need to store something and don't want to carry a bag. The fit is a little long in the arms and the cut is generous in the midsection. No feathers have leaked from the coat and not a blemish on the finish after several jumps from a large dog.

I've used the mens version of this jacket for 2 years now and never had any issues. Marmot has always satisfied my down needs and so when my wife needed a nice warm jacket to add to her collection this jacket was my first pick. Just to be safe however, we compared it with Mountain Hardwear's Ghost Whisperer jacket and Montbell's Alpine Light jacket.
In comparing the three, we felt as though the Ama Dablam would hold up the best out of the three as an hefty layering piece for cold winter days. While it's not the lightest of the three (for that the Ghost Whisper wins hands down), we both felt that it had the was the warmest jacket of the three especially when you add in the feature of being able to stuff it inside of its own pocket.
My wife is about 5'8" and 130 lbs. She usually goes with a medium in jackets so we stuck with that in the Ama Dablam and it fits her fantastically.

Beautiful jacket but the shape doesn't work for me. I'm 5'5", 120 and have a long torso. I ordered the small but it's much too boxy. There's too much room around the torso and even when the bottom elastic is pulled tight the jacket synches up and reveals my midriff when I lift my arms even a little bit. I'm sad to return it because I love the style, color and warmth, but I doesn't work for me :(

Runs a little bit small. IE short torso/sleeves when I extend my arms. I ordered an XS, and a small would likely fit better. Unfortunately they're fresh out of smalls. I am 5'4 and have a climbers build... and maybe a long torso?? Warm. Bright! Love the beehive design!

My measurements are XS. I want to be able to wear a fleece layer underneath.... do the sizes allow for that? Or should I go up to a small?

Bought this last week before a ski trip up to Whistler. Got to test it straight away since we had -23C temps with wind on top of that. I combined the jacket with wool, fleece and paclite underneath and was warm all day. This jacket is a winner!

did u need to go up a size to wear the other layers underneath? I'm also going to Whistler and thought this jacket would be perfect with other layers.

This is exactly what I was looking for in a down jacket. Its low profile keeps me from look like a marshmallow, but the 800 fill keeps me nice and toasty, even the hold is extremely warm. Perfect belay jacket, or for any other situation. I'm 5'11" 140 and I got a med and it fits me very well. If I wear a helmet with it, it does ride up in the back a little bit, but I really can't complain much. I love it!

I am trying to determine if there is only one green color (fern). The stock photo looks so different from the picture of the climber rappelling? Anyone?

The stock photos are all photoshopped, and they never seem to get the colors quite right. Go by the picture of the climber rappelling, that's what the jacket actually looks like.

I've seen it in person and it looks like bright lime green to me.

I finally got a pick a more technical piece for my wife (who is both fashion conscious and don't want a big bulky downjacket that makes her look big).

Great warmth to weight ratio, very stylish, great orange color (brighter than Patagonia's color). Now one of her favorite pieces!

The sleeves are pretty short on me in a M but fits otherwise. If I go to a L - do you know how much longer the sleeves are?

The reviews for this jacket were so great and the sale price was right, so I went for it. I was looking for an awesome cold weather companion for winter climbing belays and cold nights at camp. I wanted a hood and the overall feeling of being wrapped up in a portable sleeping bag, i guess.

The 800 fill is warm and cozy. However, as with so many outdoor clothing manufacturers, the "feminine" cut takes away from some of it's quality and/or functionality. It was short on me. So raising my arms above my head let in all the cold air. Also the hood is apparently designed to fit a helmet, however when you put the hood over your head it pulls the jacket into your armpits creating some constriction. Also the sleeves were borderline short. Not if this was just a casual jacket. But since I was looking for warmth and comfort, this didn't fit the bill. Maybe I'm freakishly proportioned. I then purchased a size larger thinking this might solve my issues, but then everything was just really big and still with an awkward feminine cut.

So... I opted for a men's down jacket of another brand and I'm very very happy with that.

I got this jacket with the intent of it being pretty warm - at least warm enough for a fall and spring and maybe a mild winter. As I've worn it through the single Celsius digits I've been amazed by it's ability to keep me warm despite its thickness. I am 5'10" and athletically built and often find that things fir "shot" on me - but this jacket is nice and longer - also great for when backpacking and wearing under a pack.

I've found that because of the jacket's great loft I often am warmer when I only wear a long underwear top underneath instead of a fleece in addition because the fleece get read of the dead air space. When I go backpacking it also converts into a pillow by stuffing it into its own pocket.

I fell into a pond while wearing it once and was able to jump out again pretty fast. My shoes, pants, mittens, and hat were completely soaked, but the polyester shell on this jacket to my big surprise kept out most of the water during to quick unexpected dip so that the jacket still kept me warm while walking back to camp to change. Of course it you stay in water longer it will et wet and loose it's loft, but it can resist it for a little bit.

This is my favorit winter jacket that I have owned so far.

which of its pockets does it stuff into? I haven't noticed this feature?

It stuffs into the pocket on the inside of the jacket.
