Marmot Zeus Down Jacket - Men's

Item #MAR1246 | 62 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Great.. if your Fat

By Ranked #2246 - Men's Down Jackets October 17, 2008

This jacket is nearly identical to the Patagonia Down Sweater, which I tried on, but I ordered the Zeus because it was cheaper. The major difference is that the Patagonia jacket is an athletic cut, whereas the Marmot is a Beer Gut cut. There is considerable amount of extra fabric around the stomach. Walking around, I feel like Santa Clause. When you sit down, the jacket creates a large fold in front of you due to the extra material. I've never seen anything like it before. It is not made for a healthy/normal shaped male. I am 6' 180 lbs. I am returning it.

PS. I exchanged it for the Medium and it fit better in the stomach and the length was better for my arms but it was too small in the shoulders and chest. Returning this one too :(
