Marmot's Mountain Down
Marmot's Mountain Down (Thierry Desfontaines)
For hipsters who want to look ruggedly cool, MARMOT's 700-fill goose-fluff MOUNTAIN DOWN should be a great fit. Reinforced elbows and shoulders fend off sharp rocks and taxi doors, a proprietary waterproof-breathable nylon shell locks out the wet, and an insulated removable hood serves as a feathery nest for your egg. This piece doesn't slack on the core wilderness needs, yet a stylish, roomy cut with serious quilting—and the fact that it comes in baby blue—gives you cosmopolitan cachet. $250; 800-627-6680, www.marmot.com
