Reasons NOT to buy:
User Reviews
- Heat-seal logo may not look high-quality to some.
- The down fill has been reported to shed.
- No drawstring for the waist or the hood to keep in warmth.
Expert Reviews
- No adjustments on the hood or waist, or on any of the seams/edges.
- Shedding feathers is a common problem with this jacket.
- One of the heavier jackets compared to the competition.
- Extra space in the torso depending on body type, meaning it can be colder.
- Not as good at sealing out the cold as some of the competition.
Summary:
The Marmot Tullus Down Jacket for men is a good choice for bigger-framed men who want a solid jacket for shorter trips and wearing around town. The lack of compressibility, baggier-fitting torso area, and lower quality down make this not the best option for extended backcountry trips, but the reasonable price still makes it an option to be considered.
