Good jacket, wish it fit my needs! - Marmot Ama Dablam Jacket - Mens

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this jacket; so why did I return it? I'm over 65 and need a winter coat to support my daily walks in an environment that includes both wind and cold weather - not to mention snow! I had the Quasar Hoody, and it fit well, but it wasn't warm enough (guess I didn't generate enough body heat to make it work). The Ama Dablam seemed a better option for me....more down, better warmth factor. Problem solved? No. I'm particular about jacket hoods, and this one is "helmet compatible" (larger than I need for suburban adventures). It does have multiple adjustments, but still leaves gaps around my face and neck -- even when I pull the cords as tight as I can. The jacket was as good as I've found, but just doesn't work for me. If you're more of the consumer that Marmot is targeting with this design (snow, ice, mountains, and long duration outings in those conditions), then this is the jacket for you. Sorry it didn't work for me.
