Summary:

Marmot’s Ama Dablam Down Jacket for men is a relatively warm 800 fill down jacket. The jacket has some nice features, such as handwarmer pockets, a cinchable hood and zippered pockets, but unfortunately, the construction sacrifices some durability. This jacket is not an outer shell so you might expect tears from snagging on trees, however some users report small holes wearing through just from regular use.
