Great jacket, well built, well featured - colours a bit misleading
I originally ordered a North Face McMurdo parka (which was significantly more expensive) but when it arrived it didn't feel well made in several areas for the price... Neck zipper region, filling, hood etc.
I read some other reviews and decided to order the Marmot Shadow jacket. I thought the green one would be good but had trouble finding it online in the UK. Eventually I got it and I sent The North Face jacket back for refund.

This Shadow jacket is great in lots of ways. Well made, nice features, top quality down filling and (apparently) waterproof - though I have yet to test it out in anger.
It has all the hall marks of a quality jacket and you can tell it's been well designed and well made as soon as you put it on.

The only issue for me is that when I got the green it looked a bit different from the website in shades. No big deal I thought.. I'll just send it back for a black one, they're more common anyway.
So (after days of expectant waiting...


Should be great but lacking
First this is a well made jacket. However there are a number of points which let it down. First the goose down I am sure it is fine goose down. But it is severely under stuffed, paper thin at key points. Like the area around the mid back. This means it is not as warm as it should be. I have worn it on a +1 windy day and had to go back home to put on a thick woolly jumper.
I do not think it would stand up to skiing or mountain hikes in colder weather, which I understand it was designed. for. The thin Velcro wrist fastening is flimsy and the lack of the inner cuff as on most winter jackets, means if like me you have smaller wrists the wind gets in.

The hood is an awful design the toggle to pull the hood tight is in the centre at the back. Which if you have the jacket on, you have to be a contortionist to adjust it. Even if you do this, placing the pull in the middle at the back means you pull the hood away from the face, not tighter around it . And end up with a Smurf...
