Marmot Guides Down Hoody Jacket

This is the piece that ends the puffer cycle. Marmot fills it with 700-power down and cuts it long enough to cover the seat, which is the detail cheap jackets skip and the reason they feel drafty at a bus stop. The hood is insulated and cinches with one hand. At just over three hundred dollars it is the most expensive thing in this collection, and it should be: the alternative is buying an eighty-dollar coat every second winter and never once being genuinely warm. Buy it if he commutes on foot or stands around outdoors in January. Skip it if he drives everywhere — a car coat looks better and he will never zip this to the chin.
