Owners love the exceptional warmth, quality construction, and attractive design, but some find the fit restrictive for layering and note the shell lacks true wind impermeability.

The verdict

What the panel makes of it.

Marmot makes the Fordham Down Jacket. It is a parka. The jacket uses 650-fill goose down insulation. Marmot designed it for mountain use. The outer shell sheds water. Climbers and skiers buy it for cold, high altitude work. They need reliable warmth that compresses small. The jacket appears in shopping queries weekly. People compare it across retailers constantly.

In their words

Pro's: nice cut, regular hood not a snow board hood, decent warmth, covers the seat. Needs: true soft shell exterior as shell is not impervious to wind, needs more down or more ease for layering (I am actually a Medium but like to wear large), another couple inches o
