What's the fill weight of the Ama Dablam? Is it as warm as the new Patagonia Fitz Roy Hoody? What are the length measurements for both?

Tim - Thanks for the response. However, I'm not sure why you'd think a fairer comparison exists between the Marmot Greenland Baffled Jacket and its 300 grams of 800 fill down and the Fitz Roy's 181 grams of 800 fill down. If the Ama has 125 grams, as you suggest, it is much closer in fill weight (albeit sewn-through construction) to the Fitz Roy than the Greenland. I'd say the Greenland is more apples to oranges.....

Fill weight on the Ama Dablam is 125 grams of 800 fill power down. Center front is 24" and center back is 29.5" and total weight is 18 ozs. With respect to the Fitz Roy Hoody, it a bit of a apples to oranges comparison, as the Ama is designed as an ultralight, packable hoody great for less cold conditions and layering. A better comparison might be to the Marmot Greenland Baffled Jacket which is much, much warmer. (300 grams 800 fill down)
