Named after a Himalayan peak, the Marmot Men's Ama Dablam Jacket can certainly walk the talk. This lightweight, packable down jacket is stuffed with premium 800 fill down and weighs in at just over 1 pound. Made with lightweight, downproof, polyester ripstop fabric, this mountain jacket is wind resistant and has a DWR finish that makes light moisture bead up on its surface. An insulated hood is adjustable and a drawcord at the hem cinches down to help seal in body heat. Following the light-is-right in the mountains mantra, this winter coat will stuff into the inside zippered pocket for a tiny parcel that takes up minimal pack space. Angel-Wing Movement lets you raise your arms without exposing your belly and cozy-soft fabric lines the front zippered pockets, offering weather-beaten hands a tiny slice of heaven. Classic Marmot colors mix with high elevation design to bring us the Marmot Ama Dablam Jacket for men. Take it on your next backpacking trip whether it's in a snow cave in your backyard or you're sharing a tent with the porters at base camp.

awesome lightweight down jacket
This jacket is awesome. It's very soft, extremely light and compressible. When not in use I can easily stuff it inside its own inner side pocket and just hang it on my backpack where it'll be readily available when I take a break and need to keep my body warm. I am an Asian male, 5'8" 143lb. I purchased a size S and it fits me perfectly. Oh and I just love the Angel Wing movement. I can move my arms in any direction and it doesn't lift the jacket from my torso at all. Awesome.
Since I got it, I didn't fear any cold weather in this winter, it 's so light in weight and could provide me so much warm. I feel very comfy with it and it touch so soft. Moreover, It has a high quality, I am satisfied with this down jacket.
Men's Ama Dablam jacket
Purchased a Men's Small in black for a 5'6" athletic female with a slightly long torso (back length of a men's jacket is typically 2" longer than the women's version) who is ALWAYS COLD. Had the jacket for almost 2 weeks. Temps in MI have been single digits lately, and this jacket performed just great. Temps above 10* I wore it with thin layers and was fine. For temps below 10* I added my MHW Compressor underneath and was cozy. I doubt others would need the 2nd jacket, but I'm always cold so I'd rather take off layers than start to feel chilled.... Jacket sleeves are a tad long for me, but the velcro wrist closures make it easy to adjust them so they don't slide down and cover my hands. The back length is perfect--covers my butt like a women's parka would. I LOVE the simplicity in design on this jacket. No contrasting colors, no alternating fabrics. The zippers are very neat looking without extra "flaps"--just a very CLEAN DESIGN. I already have the Marmot Guides Down Jacket, which is also a quality piece. I added the Ama Dablam to my jacket closet for the hood (insulated hoods make a HUGE difference in warmth), the clean design, and the 800 fill (which is LESS PUFFY but just as warm as 650 fill...in this jacket. "Down sweaters," while 800 fill, do not have the same amount of down in them as the Ama Dablam. The AD is truly a JACKET--not a sweater.). It is also very light-weight, which is nice--it's like wearing a puff of warm air, and I love that I don't have to look like the Michelin Man to stay warm. Marmot products have excellent value. They tend to be a little bit less pricey than similar products from other big name brands, and they are designed and built well. I like to be outdoors, but I'm not an adventurer--I wear this every day around town and for doing chores (shoveling snow, home maintenance, etc). Overall, a FABULOUS CHOICE for people who live (or visit) cold climate areas.
Lightweight Warmth
I love the warmth of the 800 fill down, including insulated hood. I have found it warm even in windy conditions. Its light weight makes it very comfortable, and easily compressible, not stiff or restricting. I am on the short side (5'6") and ordered a medium, so that I would be able to layer underneath, and I like the fit--the length for me is just right, longer than a short jacket, but not bulky and long like an expedition size parka. There aren't a lot of extra features like a liner or multiple extra pockets, but that's what keeps this jacket super light. With the cinch cords at the waist and hood, you can enclose yourself in warmth and comfort, and unless you plan on getting really wet, I think down is the best.
soft and warm
The jacket is very soft. 800 fill down is great. great fit, great hood and great zipper.It compresses so small that it fits into any pack, and that's what this jacket it all about, being warm, light and compressible. Over all, I love it!
