Great Warmth, 800 fill!

By Matt Porter Ranked #418 - Men's Vests October 19, 2009

This vest is great. I have been looking for a lightweight, high quality down vest for a while. The two I narrowed it down to was the Zeus vest and the UL Down Inner Vest from Montbell. Both were around the same price range and weight. Both had high quality 800+ fill power down. My only concern with the Montbell is that because of the difference in sizing I would need to try it on to determine the best fit. Unfortunately, no one in Austin sells Montbell (weird, I know). So I was able to try on the Marmot and it was perfect. Nice close to the body cut, not thick or bulky thanks to the 800 fill and I totally trust Marmot with pretty much anything. My first opportunity to try it out came last night as the temp dipped to around 52 degrees. It perfomed great with nice heat retention. Very please with my purchase and would recommend to anyone.
