As a frequent belayer and pretty short lady, I always appreciate a cropped down jacket that doesn\u2019t sacrifice warmth or style. <\/strong>Which is why, when I received the Marmot Guides Down Hoody in the mail, I was stoked at its cushy loftiness and adjustable elements. <\/p>\n

The Guides Down Hoody<\/a> is the quintessential puffy \u2014 it has massive baffles, a cushioned hood, and a certain retro aesthetic to it. If I\u2019m being honest, I got numerous compliments from strangers about this jacket, which I can attribute to the bright, funky color scheme. Regardless of appearance, the Guides Hoody packs a punch in terms of warmth and loft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This jacket utilizes a unique blend of natural feather down and Ceiba down, a plant-based insulation harvested from Kapok trees in the southern hemisphere. This eco-friendliness doesn\u2019t just stop at the innovative down, but more on that later.<\/p>\n

The Guides Hoody quickly became a must-have in my suitcase and work bag this winter for its malleable nature and versatile style. I found myself wearing it for apr\u00e8s coffee, leisurely walks around town, and setting up camp in Crested Butte, Colo. This jacket survived a cold and blustery winter without lacking in endurance or comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In short: <\/strong>The Marmot Women\u2019s Guides Down Hoody<\/a> is a laidback puffy made for casual winter outings or belaying friends at the crag. With a 700-fill power down made of natural feathers and plant-based materials, this jacket is highly packable and insulating. And while it does lack in water resistance and ruggedness, the Guides Hoody is still a great puffy for folks needing something for everyday use in mild climates. For just a couple of hundred bucks, you can snag the Guides Hoody in diverse color options that provide a timeless style.<\/p>\n
