Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Marmot Men's Guides Down Vest acts as a killer mid insulating layer on that long, freezing ski approach, or as an effective outer layer on that cool October climb day. A wind flap behind the front zipper blocks cold air from sneaking in and 650-fill down keeps the heat in. Marmot gave the Guides Down Vest an inside zip stuff sack pocket to make it easy to store away in a small corner of your pack."

"I like owning winter gear and use my gear to the extreme so I know how good the clothing is and how well it performs. The less clothing you need to stay warm the better. This is a very warm vest. You feel the warmth right away when you put it on."
