Freeze no more!Have you been searching for the perfect jacket that will keep you warm during those awful winter months? If you answered yes to this question, there is a solution to your needs! This Marmot Women’s Montreal jacket will make you never want to purchase a jacket again, nor will you have to! This jacket is perfect for a college student who must walk miles to class during those awful blizzards. Or are you a mother who cheers her children on to victory, while suffering the cold? Well suffer no more! Marmot’s women’s Montreal jacket has the best options when it comes to color, ranks highest in quality, and most importantly; doesn’t false advertise on the effectiveness of the product.Color:Many jackets displayed on the market are simply offered in only two colors. Worry no more – this jacket is not only offered in more than two colors, but is offered in a total of eight colors! If you’re feeling bold and radiant, there’s a dark crimson (red) or if you’re a more settle individual; midnight navy would do wonders for your taste! You could even buy a jacket to match with your school colors!Quality:This jacket isn’t your typical jacket. Although these jackets are priced at about $218, the quality makes the price worth it. Most jacket designers don’t keep your hands in mind when creating a jacket even though that’s usually one of the colder parts of our body when outside. Taken this into consideration, the Marmot jacket has micro fleeced lined zip hand-warmer pockets. This may seem as a very small detail, but a very convenient and useful detail. Let’s talk about the jacket itself now! The jacket is 100% Polyester with 700 fill power down. One last important touch, the removable, also power down, hoodie that is lined with synthetic fur ruff.Effectiveness:The effectiveness of this jacket is what made me fall in love with this jacket. Down insulation is much warmer than the typical synthetic jacket. Down usually lasts longer, and not to mention the feathers help with breathability. On average a synthetic jacket will lose it’s effectiveness in 5-7 years, whereas a down jacket can retain it’s warmth for up to 10-20 years (Wellman, 2016).I would recommend this jacket to anyone wanting a forever lasting jacket – a jacket that will keep them warm through all the unbearable winter months. Marmot makes their competitors wish they had the same color options, the warming quality, and the effectiveness of the down feathers. Works CitedWellman, Andy. "How to Choose the Best Down Jacket."
