Marmot vest -- NICE!
I chose this down vest due to Marmots known quality and its good value for the money. Please keep in mind that this vest has LIGHTWEIGHT insulation for cool days, but NOT for freezing conditions. The design is great; however, the zipper tends to snag which I think is normal on most down jackets. This is easily fixable with a little work on the owners part.
Excellent vest
This is a really well-made, warm vest. It's perfect for layering over a down sweater when temps are super-cold. We also use ours when in the late fall and early spring, when a full down sweater isn't necessary, but a heavy fleece isn't enough. We love Marmot and would definitely recommend this vest!
Fabulous Vest
I like the fit of this vest, the closure in the armpit is a different type of design than other vests, where it is more complete and a lot of air does not get in, but it does not dig into your armpit. The front zipper has been difficult at times, but it is extremely warm and comfortable. It also has fit adjusters in the front pockets that helps you to almost custom fit it to your body.
Excellent vest - Item as advertised
Vest is both warm and soft - I'm not usually a huge fan of vests but after trying this one I was hooked and am very happy I purchased it.
good but big
excellent quality and nice and warm, but like other marmot stuff runs on the larger side. I am a big guy (5 11 190lbs) and probably would have gone with a medium rather than a large.
