Marmot Sling Shot Down Jacket - Women's - 2010 BCS

I love this jacket and use it for everything from hiking to out in town. Its the perfect weight for a down jacket. I never overheat in it,

Very warm, excellent fit and great waterproof feature. This is one of the best fitted down jacket I have. It is tight fit but then it keeps me warm as there are no "empty" space inside. I got the ultra violet color and received lots of compliment. I am thinking of getting the black one as well.

Actually I changed my mind.. I don't like this new one at all. The arms were too short and it's over all a little short. I am normally a SM and that's what I got. Also, it's not close to being at warm as my other one. My friends also told me it looks cheap.. I don't know if it's because I didn't put the fur on it. I wore it from my work to my house on my snow mobile in high winds wich a shirt, base layer, a R2 Patagonia fleese and it was clear to me that it was not going to cut it.
Darn!
I like the hood tough!

I think this is the updated version that I got in 2007.

I live in Nunavut and use my winter gear starting October/November to April/May (that's more then half the year!) I am suprised that it lasted this long and I'm still using it this year. Though had to replace the zipper pull thingy's.

I just ordered this new one for which I am very excited about. Same blue color.. that's how much i love it!

I plan to use it for snowmobiling and all my outdoor activities. I walk to work which takes about 20 minutes downhill in -30C (-55C with windchill). I wear a thin shirt, a base layer, and an R2 Patagonia fleece and then this jacket on top. I sewed on a 4 inch thick wolf fur which I don't really know how I'm going to add it on this one because of the visor. I'll figure that out and possibly post a picture.

One of the downfalls of my 2007 version is that the down does not stay under the arms. When I wash it (which I do about 3-5 times per year) I put a tennis ball in the dryer to get the puff spread as evenly as possible but under the arms never really came back.

I cant imagine throwing out my 2007 and plan to make a seal skin parka and wear the old coat for mid-layer insulation to stay toasty out hunting! Don't want to get my new one too dirty!

Bought this jacket for my wife and she absolutely loves it. I have always had a hard time finding her a jacket that will keep her warm enough during the winter. I think this jacket might finally do the trick, atleast she has no complaints so far. She gets compliments all the time about the look and style as well. Overall a great jacket

I tried this jacket on in a Medium which is what I am in most outdoor brands and in Marmot jackets that I have. When I put my arms straight out in front of me, the edge of the sleeve was a 2" to 3" from where my wrist meets my hand, not acceptable in my mind. My arms are maybe slightly longer than average, but I by no means have monkey arms. Otherwise this seems like a nice puffy for skiing, except for the fact that there are no pit zips.
