Life in a mountain town like Crested Butte is demanding. You're up early for backcountry turns, tuning skis in the shop all afternoon and then your buddies always seem to talk you in to hitting up locals night at the local brewing company. Make your life a little easier with the reliable, versatile coziness of the Marmot Men's Zeus Jacket. Worthy of the gods, this Marmot down jacket is as lightweight as a cloud and stuffed with premium 800 fill goose down to trap body heat. It's compressible enough to stuff into its own pocket to save you pack space and resists wind like a champ but it is not waterproof. Cinch up the drawcord at the hem to seal out a cold wind and tuck your hands in the zippered front pockets. Angel Wing Movement lets you lift your arms without exposing your belly if you're swinging an ice tool or throwing a bear hang. Sized to wear over base layers or under a winter shell, you'll be backpacking with it in the Rockies all summer and wearing it as a warm midlayer under a waterproof shell on hut trips all winter. One of the more stylish coats we've seen, the Marmot Zeus Jacket for men is offered in a wide array of classic colors to turn the heads of tele babes in town.

all-around great jacket
Soft and cozy, great warmth-to-weight ratio. I live on a windy corner and this stops the wind well. Stayed dry in light rain but I'd put a shell over it with real rain. Trim fit (I'm 6ft, 205 lbs) but large has enough room for a fleece vest on cold days (20's). Great mid-layer when colder. Fits me better than comparable Patagonia, Mountain Hardware, TNF items. Packs down to nothing. Haven't had it long enough to comment on wear, but my other Marmot items have lasted through a lot!! Only con is no chest pocket (inner or outer) for small items like iPod, sunglasses.

This jacket fits great and it is very warm. I love that it is not bulky but it has the warmth of a large winter coat. The price is very reasonable for the quality you get. Love this jacket.

Mamot Zeus: great coat for city and country
I bought this coat for everyday use in the coldest part of winter. I've owned down products before so it came as no surprise that the fabric needs the protection of a durable shell if you are in a brushy area. The same is true (shell needed) in rain or heavy snow. The Mamot Zeus is a great coat and it is just the right weight for me (I run a little hot). The handwarmer pockets, collar, and flap behind the zipper work well in the wind. With a waterproof shell, gloves, and a hat, I can take on anything the mountains of WV dish out...

Zeus vs Venus Down Jacket
This jacket weighs close to nothing. I am 5'10" 140lbs female and I bought the Zeus size XS because the I find the sleeves and torso of the Venus Jacket, the lady version of the same jacket from Marmot, too short. After reading a review written by a taller girl recommending the Zeus XS, I was hoping that it will fit me too. Apparently I am taller and bigger than the previous reviewer. The Zeus XS fits me at the chest are but the over length of the jacket is just too short. I have returned it. I am looking for a the same quality jacket like the Marmot Zeus that will fit me well. I have heard that the Mountain Hardware Jackets have trimmer fit. But I think Marmot brand clothing have way better design and looks.
