I've always been impressed with my Marmot jackets, so I've been looking at their Zeus model. Anybody have something that they use that they swear by? I'm all ears before I spend a couple hundred dollars on an article of clothing...


I got a really nice North Face #700 down jacket at Sierra Trading Post (a close out website) a few years ago. If you're looking for something in a hurry, they won't always have it, but if you can wait a little, something invariably comes up. Sign up for their emails. They're constantly giving out coupons. I never pay their full asking price.
