Marmot Guides Down Jacket - 650 Fill Power (For Men)

Last year I bought the down vest version of this coat and this year when it came time to upgrade my down coat, I looked at about twelve other coats and kept coming back to Marmot. The amount of fill is good without being too warm, it compacts down into almost nothing and it has a better fit for those of those who are not built like Olympic athletes. Its cut is a lot more generous than say Outdoor Research. I am not exclusively a Marmot buyer, but after comparison with other products, I own a down vest, coat, fleece, and a couple pair of gloves and have been happy with all of them.

This jacket is fantastic. If you don't currently or have never owned a down jacket, this one sets the benchmark for what all other crazy expensive down jackets can do for the consumer who has a specific task in mind. This however, is the all around gold standard. With 650 fill this jacket keeps your body room temperature in outside temperatures ranging from 35-70 degrees. Purchased this jacket before last winter really kicked into gear and am just now starting to put it further back into my closet because its getting too warm, the range of comfort you get with this product is outstanding. I and everyone I let try it on is just amazed at the weight vs comfort factor, not to mention the looks on their faces when i pull it out of its pack pocket (which is about the size of a nalgene if you smushed it into a rectangle) and it bounces back to an attractive coat with excellent down resilience. I keep saying 'comfort' here instead of 'warmth' because it's just that, you're kept at a comfortable 72-75 degrees inside the coat regardless of whats happening outside, never hotter never colder, finicky body temperature people I'm looking at you)The DriClime fabric lining around the collar is also excellent, especially if you're a man with a beard! No snags! Seriously i cannot say enough about this jacket, do yourself a favor and buy one from STP with a coupon and get yourself a solid piece of gear that you'll use 60% of the year at a steal of a price.

We ordered the jacket to replace another Marmot Down Jacket. We found a great deal on Sierra Trading Post and received the jacket with a few short days. Thanks for a great experience.

I bought this as a replacement jacket for a worn out Columbia synthetic insulated jacket. The goose down is much warmer. This is a very good fitting coat and appears to be of very high-quality construction. It fit true to the size chart in XXL. Like most down jackets, it does give off a few feathers here and there. The soft lining on the inside of the collar and inside the pockets is a nice touch.

Quality is good for made in CHINA. If I would have known I would not have purchased. transaction was great, supper fast shipping overall its a good deal.
