Marmot Guides Down Sweater - Men's

Item #MAR1248 | 33 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Perhaps the best 650 fill down jacket out there

By Ranked #114 - Men's Down Jackets December 11, 2008

I've been wearing my Marmot Guide sweater for about 2 seasons now, and I love it. I tried on all the major brands, North Face, Mountain Hardwear, Patagonia, and this one fit extremely well. I'm 5'11" medium build and the medium fit perfectly. You can lift your arms and the jacket stays put on your torso. I had the Mountain Hardwear sub zero first, but returned it because the collar wasn't soft on the inside, and the length of the jacket was so short I got a draft up my back (probably made that way for harnesses while belaying). The Marmot Guide Sweater has a longer back so you don't get drafts, a soft collar on the inside so it feels nice against your neck and chin, packs inside it's own internal pocket, and is VERY warm. I am up in the cold mountains often, and I've had this down to 0 degrees while staying toasty!
