Does anybody have a practical comparison of this puff to the MH Compressor?
I realize the MH Compressor is synth and this is down...
They are both essentially the same weight.
Anybody have experience with both of these in regards to pack-down size?
I know that "warmth" is fairly subjective, but does this 800-fill down provide more warmth that the MH primaloft for the weight?
Also...the thing I can't stand about the MH Compressor is that the hood is so floppy.
Does this have any sort of three point hood adjustment similar to ArcTeryx hardshell hoods?
Anybody compared this to a Feathered Friends Helios Hooded?

Hey Brandon, Being the curious Guruess that I am I went out into our warehouse and did some hands on research. I compared the Marmot Ama Dablam and the MW Compressor, in an XL. I packed both into their respective interior pockets on the jackets. I will say that the MW was much harder to fit into the pocket than the Marmot. The dimensions were quite similar. The Compressor measured in at 10x8x4 and the Marmot at 10x8x3. However; the Marmot did have more potential to be compressed further. Down is always going to be warmer, and synthetic will give you the ability to handle moisture better. So I hope this is a step in the right direction for you. I also posted pics of each, so you can see. The pic here is of the MW compressor
