    I got this vest when it was on clearance at REIoutlet.com. I use the vest as 3rd layer while hiking and wear it in town sometimes. It is very light and packs well. It is surprisingly warm. I wear medium shirts and the medium size vest fits perfectly. Highly recommended!

    If you buying online, it runs a bit big.
    the filling is a bit thin, so more for fashion than anything else

      I bought this for a friend as a gift because I like mine so well. Highly compressible (800 loft down). Broad temperature comfort range. Perfect for cool weather, a little below freezing, and a great under layer for cold weather.

        Comments about Marmot Zeus Down Vest - Men's:

        I wear this around town because the style is nice.

        I also wear it on almost every camping and backpacking trip. It is great in the evenings and mornings when the weather is cool. I have layered it on top of thermals and under a shell in more extreme weather.

        I find the vest is more versatile than then jacket. It stuffs nicely in its own pocket and lofts back up fine.

        The vest is longer than most athletic fitting clothing, but I also have a shorter torso.

        Mine has been in pretty extreme weather (mountaineering trips) and it looks new still.

        Bought this at last second as and extra layering option in case of foul weather for Kilimanjaro. Packed very light, only used it for summit day. Very warm, must use with an outer layer as it is not wind proof, doesn't feel tear resistant. Collar got filthy after one use (caused a lot of sweat) from being zipped up, washed out fine. Solid layering option.

          I purchased this vest because I wanted something lightweight and warm. It was between this vest and TNF Nuptse. I chose the Zeus because it was lighter, less bulky, and packs small. Plus it comes in a sweet orange color. Who doesn't love orange down vests?

          Better than the Pricey Alternative

            Comments about Marmot Zeus Down Vest - Men's:

            I was considering another big name brand because it was slim-fit and perfect for layering. After trying both on, I realized that the Marmot Zeus Down Vest was also slim-fit, had better insulation, had more elastic in the arm holes (to keep the warmth in), had larger internal pockets, and was significantly cheaper than the alternative.

              Comments about Marmot Zeus Down Vest - Men's:

              This is a great vest. Even for having 800-down filler, this thing is not too bulky, nor is it too light. As Goldilocks once said, "this is just right". I also like the feature that this can pack into its own pocket for easy storage/throwing it into your pack. All in all, a great vest.
