Description

For seriously cold weather, get the seriously warm Frost Line.

Find shelter above the tree line when you zip into the MontBell Frost Line Down Parka and keep climbing up towards Camp II. A toasty layer of 800-Fill powder goose down becomes your warm fortress when the cold grips you during a big climb, ski tour, or winter camping. The Frost Line’s tough 30-denier ballistic ripstop nylon shell with a DWR finish stops the moisture in its tracks so you can stay warm and dry for the rest of the trip.
  • Sewn-through, baffled construction holds the down in place for consistent insulation for years of mountain weather
  • Micro-fleece collar lining doesn’t rub your mountain-punished face when you use it as a shield
  • Removable, helmet-compatible hood provides shelter while climbing but comes off once you climb into your tent
  • Adjustable hem features hidden drawcords inside hand pockets so you can seal out the elements
  • Elastic cuffs don’t move and seal out the cold and snow
  • This highly compressible parka includes a stuff sack for maximum packability

This jacket is everything I hoped, and more. It's lightweight has all the bells and whistles. Detachable hood is a feature I haven't used yet, but can envision the pro's of having that option. Stuff sack is a great size, and once stuffed the jacket can double as a pillow.

All in all I would recommend this jacket to all my friends, and even my enemies.

This is a great jacket. I bought it as a fall-back shelter for prolonged outdoor adventures or for days when I'm out in the weather all day for work or play. I bought an XL, bigger than my normal L, to fit over the other layers I would be wearing.

It is too warm for hiking or climbing, but works well for camp, belay, or delays on the trail.

After two winter seasons of use I found it to be plenty durable; use normal cautions when wearing.

The other day at work I was stuck out in sub 20 degree weather for an entire day. At the end of the day when I was exausted and chilled, I put it on and powered through to the end, cosy and warm.

The jacket covers me to below my butt, has a great hood, and the arms are plenty long. Good use of down--no cold spots for me.

I would recomment it to a friend.

I love mine, I went to college in South Dakota, we had a lot of -30 with windchill days throughout our winters, and I would walk the mile to class with this and just a t-shirt and be sweating when I got there!

This parka will really keep you warm. Proper layering in temperatures around freezing will be important and I haven't been in really cold temps yet, but I expect to be comfortable in it (and I'm ALWAYS cold.) I originally bought a MH Chillwave but the sleeves on it were too short. The sleeves on the Frost Line are plenty long (I bought a large and wear 35/36" sleeve in dress shirts.) I do wish it had an external chest pocket. Also, unfortunately this parka is made in China, which has already blown my New Year's resolution to avoid buying Chinese products. I guess warmth trumps principles this time. Very light weight, great down loft, great parka!

I bought this jacket and was really excited when I got it because it lofted up so high at first. However one day when it got to be around 5-10 degrees with some wind I decided to try the jacket out while walking the dogs and noticed i was getting getting cold around my lower back. When i came back inside I inspected the jacket more carefully and saw that the bottom two baffles on the backside were almost completely empty of down. It was a huge let down because I love Montbell jackets. I have both the UL Thermawrap and the Alpine light down parka and absolutely love them. Who knows maybe I got a bad one, but I ended up going with the RAB Neutrino Plus.

I love the quality and the amazing warmth but I am returning it. I gave it full stars because it is perfect for its intended use. I have a low tolerance for cold, but this is overkill for anything above 20 deg F. I need a jacket with a range of the low teens to 40 that can be layered. So a down jacket that is not baffled (one difference between a parka and a jacket I'm told) is better for me. I found that perfect (for me) jacket in the Marmot Ama Dablam.

Quite a bit lighter weight - will be around as warm as the better quality down. If your using where weight is a concern and you will only be wearing intermittently, definite advantages over the MH jacket. If your looking for more of a use all the time jacket / utility / not concerned with weight and how it packs as much - go with MH.

I have the Montbell Permafrost Down from a few years back. Will the Frost Line sit closer to he body...less of the 'Michelin Man' effect?

I just picked up the Frost Line. Feels like a sleeping bag above your waist, the only problem is it looks like a sleeping bag above your waist. "Michelin Man" for sure. Perhaps a reasonable sacrifice for most to get this much warmth and versatility for the money.

Extremely warm, light, and supple. You can't buy a warmer jacket at this price point. This is not an expedition jacket, but it is much warmer than any other down jacket that is similarly priced. The baffled construction eliminates cold spots. The hood is great. The shell fabric is fairly sturdy, but for rough conditions I wear a tough gore-tex shell over it.

This jacket rocks. It is made of 30 denier so on the more durable side for montbell. The down is very lofty and soft. The jacket is fully baffled so very warm.
I wear a medium, I am 5'9", 155 pounds and the jacket layers well over an arc'teryx gamma mx and mountain hardwear alchemy. A large would have been to big.
I also own the Outdoor research megaplume (similar to the Mountain hardwear sub zero Sl), this jacket has maybe half an inch less of loft for alot less weight.
Out of the main brand companies, montbell is ruler-Western mountaineering, Feathered friends are Emperors. Buy montbell down, you will love it.
