Born in Alaska in 1971, Groundhog is one of the world's top outdoor brands, product design and improvement are tested in extreme outdoor environments, and it has 4 test centers around the world to evaluate the functionality, durability, comfort, diversity and other information of products. It is precisely because of the high quality of the products that the marmot has always been able to grow in the outdoor field, and has thousands of stores in 27 countries around the world.
The down jacket is Marmot's signature product, filled with grey goose down and down with a fill power range of 650 to 800. In terms of filling amount, 700 fill power down jackets are mostly about 200g, and 800 fill power is less than 100g or 200-250g, depending on the product. Generally speaking, products with 650 and 700 fill power can basically meet the needs of cold protection, if you want to choose a down jacket with better warmth, you can consider a high fill power down jacket with high filling capacity.
Water resistance is another important indicator for down jackets in addition to warmth, and the fabric is the main protective barrier for wind and water resistance in outdoor brand down jackets, and the groundhog is no slouch here, and MemBrain's exclusive fabric uses laminating technology to balance breathability, waterproofness and durability.
In addition to the waterproof fabric, the marmot also does the waterproofing work directly on the down itself. Down Defender Water Repellent Down Technology evenly coats each down with a molecular-level DWR coating that dries up to 10 times longer than untreated down and 1.5 times more fluffy in wet conditions during the down cleaning process.
Like most outdoor brands, the Groundhog Down Jacket can be compressed, but the difference is that the Groundhog product compresses the down jacket directly into the left pocket, rather than providing an additional storage pocket like other brands, reducing the use of unnecessary materials.
The consumer base of marmots is not limited to professional outdoor people, and there are also excellent products in urban casual clothing. Therefore, the down jacket version design and tailoring process are unique, especially for female consumers, which is both warm and slim, and will not look bloated because of wearing a down jacket.
Groundhogs have counters in China, and there are also regular purchase channels online, with rich styles and prices that are relatively close to the people in the first-line outdoor brands, mostly concentrated in 2000-3000 yuan, which is worth choosing for people who pursue the practicality and leisure of down jackets.
