DECENT FEATURES of the Marmot Women's Ama Dablam Jacket
This jacket is so lightweight! it's perfect during a cool ohio day when you want to stay warm but don't want to be weighted down by a heavy coat. I usually wear this with just a tshirt down to about 35 degrees and when it's cooler than that, i wear a sweatshirt under this. It has a nice water repellant but BE CAREFUL. This is NOT a ski jacket so if you abuse it, the fabric will most likely rip. It's a great coat but you have to know how to use it
Backpacking in California or the lesser Himalaya, this thing has kept me warm. Super light and easy to pack into its inner pocket. I'm a slim 5'7 and the length is perfect. Love the bright blue color, doesn't show dirt... too much. Also great for cold nights around town.
Perfect jacket for a bluebird day on any ski mountain, warm and has a hood to keep the wind off your head. I found it to be water resistant so if you take a tumble you will stay dry.
the Ama Dablam is a super warm jacket from Marmot! i was a bit skeptical when it first arrived because it's so light-weight & packs into its own pocket (one of my fave features). i wasn't sure if it would be warm enough for the Alaskan winters, since it lacks the big bulk many down jackets have. i was pleasantly surprised to find that this stylish, light-weight jacket w/ lots of zip pockets def lives up to its 800 down fill rating of super warmth! just be sure to order a size up, especially if you tend to be in between sizes, as the jacket does run a bit small length-wise. i'm 5'7' & the medium fits me perfectly, even w/ my long torso. otherwise, expect nothing but the best from this jacket!
It's routinely below zero here in Minneapolis and, with something underneath, this jacket is warm enough on the coldest days, despite its deceptively light weight. Up near freezing temperatures it can be too warm, much warmer than my North Face Redpoint and North Face Triclimate jackets. It isn't waterproof, so it's unsuitable for wet conditions, but I love it for the truly frigid days.

This jacket does NOT work as an outerlayer. Maybe when it is 55F outside. It was nowhere near as warm as I thought it might be. It is not a jacket, it is a sweater. It is also fit for boxy, short-waisted gals with very small round shoulders and no forearms. The 'angel-wing' movement must be for girls that keep their arms by their sides and behave like angels, I guess. I am a 5'7" hourglass-ish figure, and I climb, so not only did my waist get cold if I lifted my arms up, I couldn't pull up the sleeves without cutting off the circulation in my forearms.
