Combining 750 plus fillpower goose down with new Schoeller fabric FTC box-construction, the Mammut Ambler Hooded Jacket for men is extremely warm, and exceptionally packable. A Schoeller NanoSphere treatment sheds moisture and stains, yet allows for exceptional breathability. The attached, adjustable hood tops things off with maximum warmth, while zippered Napoleon and hand pockets, 3 inside pockets, and Hook-and-loop cuffs add performance detail. Ideal for expeditions and mountaineering.
A Human Furnace For Us Chilly Ones
I'm 6'4",170 and the XL fits well and leaves a little room around the trunk for layers. Compared to relaxed,casual fitting Marmot jackets, I'd call this a trim,athletic fit. The sleeves are plenty long, a rare thing in down jackets for tall people from my experience. I've not owned a down jacket in many years as I could never get one to fit right, so I've been using Primaloft and Polarguard jackets and been unimpressed by their warmth(lack of). This one really packs the insulation, easy to overheat which was rare even in a Marmot Belay Parka with two layers(7oz. sq/yd total in the body) of Primaloft. The only improvement I could see is ditch the lycra around the hood for a drawcord muff. The zipper is a little hard to start too, but it's livable. Overall a fine jacket!
