Comments about Marmot Ama Dablam Down Jacket - Women's:
This product wore out really fast. The forearm area wore out really really quickly and started shedding feathers. The synch cord that goes around the waste wore through the cloth that holds it in. Returned to Marmot and they would not fix it losing feathers because it was not a warranty issue. Will never buy another Marmot piece again.

Comments about Marmot Ama Dablam Down Jacket - Women's:
I received this jacket Oct. 2009, and wore it everyday, pretty much all day, indoors and out, until April 2009. As of Jan. 2010, it's hanging in there, but has been patched several times and consistently loses feathers. I have no idea how the other reviewer was able to keep her ama dablam for 4 years....Marmot's use of the down quill feather + down ensures that you will lose feathers... there is no way around it. However, I must sing this jacket's praises because I have loved this coat. Through backcountry skiing, hiking, and resort skiing, it kept me warm and dry enough. I wore it indoors constantly (I am typically a cold person) without overheating, and have successfully machine-washed the jacket twice. Laundering did not seem to accelerate feather loss.
For it's high cost, Marmot should use the down it describes on its website, so as to improve the durability of this jacket. It is a fabulous design, flawed by its fill. I have stickers and patches speckling my coat, and I'm confident it won't make it to 2011. Pity.
I recommend this jacket to others (because I love it) on the condition that you DO NOT pay full price, and recognize that it will not be the purchase of a lifetime. Biennial at best.

Comments about Marmot Ama Dablam Down Jacket - Women's:
I have had this jacket for four years and am about to buy another one. It has seen me through backcountry ski adventures, many nordic ski treks and has been a great jacket for around town. The only reason I'm getting a new one is because my current one does have a few small holes (from wear and tear and tree branches) and it has gotten a bit smelly from all the physical use. I will kept my current one for ski adventures and campfires, and use the new one for around town and less strenuous skiing at the ski resort.
