Cost Patagonia Down Sweater ($200 retail) Marmot Zeus ($150 retail) mont-bell UL Down Inner ($150 retail) Fill Weight (Primary Determinant of Warmth – 3oz = ~30F inactive) Patagonia Down Sweater = 3 oz Marmot Zeus = 3.5 oz mont-bell UL Down Inner= 2 oz Garment Weight and (Fabric Type) - Fabric is the Primary Determinant of Weight and Durability MB UL Inner = 7.3 oz (15 denier ballistic nylon) Patagonia Down Sweater = 12.4 oz (22 denier polyester) Marmot Zeus = 14 oz (22 & 40 denier polyester) The down filling only accounts for ~30% of a garment’s weight. If two garments have comparable fill, the nylon shelled (ballistic is the strongest but has a decidedly synthetic look and feel) one is always the better UL backpacking choice. Both virgin and recycled polyester fabrics have the same characteristics. Compared to nylon they are much cheaper, heavier, less abrasion resistant, and have less strength. *Source= Richard Nisley at Backpacking Light

Hey Mike, Is the warmth & weight similar for both? I'm still trying to decide between them. The Marmot seems like a better value but I like the Patagonia more.

Cam, how does that compare to the Marmot Zeus? The Marmot seems more puffy. Dan
