Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Down Jacket - Men's

Item #MHW0946 | 0 in Stock

I cant decide between this jacket and the marmot guides down...

By Ranked #2688 - Men's Down Jackets December 10, 2008

I cant decide between this jacket and the marmot guides down sweater. I have a medium patagonia softshell, so I doubt I will fit either of these jackets under it. Which one would be best for the freezing cold, wet, washington mountains? Thanks.

The jackets are very similar with the same 650 quality down. The weight is almost exactly the same and I know that neither of them have any sort of laminate that would make them waterproof in wet weather. Both have very good DWR's that will make them water resistant. If you are looking for something to keep you warm when really wet... good luck. But a better choice might be a jacket with synthetic insulation.
