Marmot Fordham Men's Jacket Steel Onyx

You know what's funny? We all have that one mate who owns a jacket like this and suddenly becomes an expert on 'alpine conditions' despite never leaving the city. Well, now it's your turn to be that person. The Marmot Fordham is basically a PhD in looking outdoorsy – whether you're actually wrestling bears or just wrestling with the self-checkout at the supermarket.

This jacket harks back to Marmot's roots, which apparently involves knowing exactly what adventurers need: warmth, weather protection, and enough pockets to store your existential dread about whether you'll actually use this thing properly. Spoiler alert: you will, because it's brilliant.

The Technical Stuff (AKA Why This Jacket Is Smarter Than Your Phone):

• 10k/10k Marmot® MemBrain® 2-layer waterproof/breathable fabric – Repels water and reduces internal condensation (because nobody likes feeling like a greenhouse)
• 700 Fill Power Down – The good stuff. Like sleeping in a cloud, if clouds were ethically sourced and had Down Defender
• Zip-Off Hood – For when you can't decide if you're a hood person or not. Commitment issues? Sorted.
• Flapped Chest Pocket – Perfect for storing things you'll forget about until next winter
• Zippered Hand Pockets – Because regular pockets are for amateurs
• Internal Zippered Media Pocket – Your phone's new favourite hiding spot
• Micro Fleece Interior Cuffs – Like a gentle hug for your wrists
• Adjustable Velcro® Cuffs – Velcro in 2025? Absolutely. It's retro. It's practical. It's *chef's kiss*
• Elastic Drawcord Hem – Cinch it tight and pretend you're preparing for a summit attempt (to the couch)
• Product Weight: 1241.7g
• Main Fabric: MemBrain® 2L 100% Polyester Herringbone Twill 4.9 oz/yd | MemBrain® 2L 49% Nylon, 33% Polyester, 18% Cotton Plain Weave 6.8 oz/yd
• Insulation Type: 700 Fill Down with Down Defender
• Centre Back Length: 27in
• Waterproof: Yes (obviously, we're in New Zealand – if it's not waterproof, what's the point?)

Whether you're genuinely heading into the wild or just want to look like you could survive there, the Fordham's got your back. Literally.
