Since we’re in Utah, we know what Marmot meant when they named the Men’s Uinta Down Jacket. They were talking fall cabin trips, winter camping, and spring ski tours in the Uinta Cache National Forest, and they stuffed the Uinta Jacket with premium down insulation to beat the ridiculously cold nights and clear, crisp days.
Bottom Line: Uinta Down? Marmot sure is.

I like the price and it seems to be a great coat. 09-06-09
I found this on sale for 63.00 at Sportsman's Warehouse. I got a large and I'm 5'-9" and 169 lbs. It seems just a tad large for me, but I like that in a winter Jacket. Seems like lots of loft. Weight is 20 ounces. Did not come with stuff sack. I can't speak for the durability, but so far I love it. Will add more here later after more use.
It's warm, it's soft, it looks good and feels even better...BUT it sheds down like crazy. I recently wore this over a woolen sweater for a bit and then when I went indoors I took out the jacket but couldn't wear the the sweater anymore because it looked I was out wrestling chicken...with so many feathers on my sweater. :(
As a firefighter, this jacket is perfect for me. I use it for chilly mornings and evenings and as a pillow at night. Another guy on my engine had purchased a down "puffy" jacket for nearly $250 and it ripped the first weekend.........NOT MINE. My Best purchase of 2009 so far!
