Mammut Ambler Hooded Down Jacket - Men's

Ok, so I hunted around for a few jackets before snagging this. I looked at the Patagonia Fitz Roy, the Rab Neutrino Plus, and this one. This jacket is packed with down. It’s seriously baffled and is incredibly warm. Unfortunately its been pretty warm up here in the Northeast but I have used it down to about 5 or 10 with minimal layering underneath it, and it is totally sufficient. I also bought this jacket to keep me warm bouldering during the winter. It’s like a sleeping bag out there, great stuff in the 20s with a T shirt or thin layers underneath. Yes this sounds overkill, but I get really cold and like to stay super warm while I recover.

The downside is that the lighter of the 2 materials used does leak feathers. It’s not horrendous like some jackets I have seen, but it does leak through the fabric. The more durable fabric used on the sleeves and seat is burly and will hold up to some serious abuse. The zipper is a bit annoying too, not a huge deal but something to get used to for sure. The seams don’t seem to leak all that bad. Overall I have been pleased. I needed something really heavy to use for mid-winter climbing as a belay/inactive stay warm jacket, as I do have a light weight down jacket. It’s perfect for the really cold days and, as I mentioned, super warm.

I have owned and tried on a lot of down jackets from different companies. This one takes the cake. it is like being engulfed in a warm light puffy clould. I am 6'3" 225 and this fits great in an XL. Awesome jacket.

Fantastic cold weather coat, can walk around in -40 F with just a t-shirt underneath, and stay warm, fleece on the collar is fantastic. hood is very functional (though silly looking). the torso is a little bit long, which is good, because at the temperatures this is for more coverage around the hips and waist is nice to have. great bitter cold jacket.

If you are looking for a down sweater, then this is not the coat for you. It is a bit more bulky than that, BUT if you are looking for a really warm belay jacket with a nice incredibly soft warm hood then take a good look at this one. A bit longer than hip length. Just used mine in Ouray and Skylight areas in 0-10 degees ,and was toasty!! It may be a bit bulky, and overkill for a fast multi pitch 20's plus climb, but it is perfect for cragging, or when its cold!!

I liked everything about this jacket, great fit, super warm. After just a couple of weeks of use though, seams started failing in multiple places. That sucked..... it was a great jacket, but they need to improve on the manufacturing big time!

This is the warm and most comfortable jacket I've ever had. It is like wearing a down sleeping bag. Great cozy hood and fleece lining makes it extra warm. A must have for anyone living in the mountains.

For the price there is no better down parka. This jacket is super puffy and warm. 800+ fill down, baffled like a sleeping bag and great fit. Series of inside pockets are great. Pictures here don't do this justice.

Thoughtfully designed down parka. for the amount of protection this provides, it is really light weight. nice hood fits over a helmet. The collar is soft and covers your face when it is zipped up. Plenty of exterior zipped pockets. Huge internal pockets can fit loads of gear. Super warm. Great base camp jacket or belay jacket while ice cragging. Certainly warm enough for 8000 meter peaks.
