Marmot 8000M Down Parka - Men's

Marmot 8000M Down Parka - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 December 21, 2010

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,

Best bag made !!

Marmot CWM EQ Sleeping Bag: Minus 40 Degree Down

Marmot CWM EQ Sleeping Bag: Minus 40 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 5 January 30, 2006

The CWM EQ -40 with 900 fill is a huge improvement over the older versions. Fully lofted, no flat spots 12in loft minimum out of the box. It has the best baffle design, and I have tried most winter bags. I tell you this is the one to buy!! You won't be sorry. One more thing, nobody makes a footbox like Marmot.
