"mediocre design" - Review of Marmot Greenland Baffled Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 By Anonymous (1) on December 15, 2007
I haven't had a chance to put this to the test yet. But just from wearing it around in just below freezing temps, there is a significant draft that comes through the zipper. Theres not enough Velcro or there needs to be an internal vertical baffle to block the air infiltration. The Velcro that closes the jacket near the neck is just two tiny pieces that would never stay shut in high winds or snowy/icy weather. The elastic cords to cinch the hood always come untied and i had to ghetto rig them to not come undone. the neck area does not come up high enough so a draft goes right down your front and around your head unless you cinch it so you cant see although i would imagine that a helmet would remedy this situation. lots of complaints but pretty light so it's a trade off. i choose the lighter becasue it still gets the job done just not as efficiently. Any yes theres even lighter than this out there.
