Marmot Zeus Down Jacket

Marmot Zeus Down Jacket – Just an all around great down jacket.

If you are looking for a no frills down jacket that does what it is supposed to do, then the Marmot Zeus Down Jacket is what you want. You won’t find butt loads of bells and whistles here, no sir. The Marmot Zeus Down Jacket uses excellent craftsmanship and quality materials to give you a down jacket thats warm and versatile.

Any down jacket can make for a nice mid layer when things get really cold. The problem with many down jackets though is that they are so large and bulky. This bulkiness means you can really only wear them as a mid-layer under larger shells and jackets. The Marmot Zeus Down Jacket on the other hand is sleek enough to be warm comfortably under almost any jacket.

Of course you can always wear the Marmot Zeus Down Jacket by itself. The outside of the Marmot Zeus Down Jacket is made with a tough downproof and ripstop material. You don’t have to worry too much about getting caught in the rain, as the Marmot Zeus Down Jacket sports a water resistant finish.
