Marmot quasar hooded down jacket1/28/2024 which is super lightweight considering the warmth that provides and if you want to compare it with other jackets it is lighter than most of them. Weight: I think this is one of their best features. The jacket did not lose its properties and it is still puffy like the first day. I have washed it once with Nikwax Down Wash. I got a small hole at the end of the sleeve because someone put his cigarette there, but it is not related with the quality of the jacket. For people who like hooded jackets it has this version.Ĭonstruction & Durability: During those three years I have noted it has a good quality construction losing just a small part of the fill trough the nylon shell. For camping and inactive situations in the mountain is possible to wear a fleece under this and it is not very thick, so is possible to wear a third layer. In my case I usually wear a tee shirt or long sleeves under this jacket, which is enough for cold days considering an urban use. It will get a small form of “V” after adjusting the cord at the hem, staying near your body keeping you warm and permitting the use of one layer under this. Now I’m going to describe some features of my jacket:įit: As I mentioned it has a regular fit. I’m not sure but I think it keeps the rest of the features like the regular fit, the same pockets, elastic non-adjustable cuffs on the sleeves, and an elastic adjustable cord at the hem. My version packs down in the zippered right hand pocket and the new one is packed in the zippered chest pocket, probably thinner due to the 850 fill compression property. The shell probably has been improved, which is made with 10-denier Pertex Quantum nylon, known as one of the lightest down-proof fabric, also it has a DWR treatment from my version and a good abrasion resistance.Īnother feature that changed is the way to pack the jacket. Fit: Included Marmot’s Angel-Wing Movement (technology that keep the jacket staying in place, allowing the user to move their shoulders and arms in a full range).The new version has improved the following features: Anyway I will compare both describing their pros and cons. I bought this down jacket three years ago, so this is not the last version of the Marmot Quasar Jacket. Before starting this review I must mention I’m from Chile and my main language is Spanish, so feel free to correct my English and ask me for a better explanation if is necessary.
