MontBell Ultralight Down Parka - Women's

I was worried about the length of the jacket as I have a longer torso. The Patagonia jackets are too short for me and I wasn't sure if Montbell would be the same. But length was perfect and it's so stylish. I don't look like the Michelin tire man and it keeps me so warm. I even bought my boyfriend the guy version because he was so jealous of how warm I stay with something so light.

Beautiful jacket, but being that I tend to always be cold, I decided on another jacket with a bit more down.

This thing is pretty damn sweet. I like to layer this baby up when it starts to dip down in the 20's - and it takes it like a rock star. I work outside alot, and this jacket makes for a non-sweaty work day; warm enough to keep the chill at bay, but breathable too. If your just sitting around, i would recommend a light fleece underneath - but for more active adventures - this baby's got you covered. And if it's snowin' outside, this does have some water shedding abilities, however, a light shell would do you just fine. And i seems to resist tearing on sharp pieces of metal, screws, sticks, fences --- so that's a plus.
Oh, and did i mention that this is a very flattering jacket with feminine cut, so i don't look like the Michelin man.

Sometimes I feel like I should be a Mont Bell rep because I talk about this coat so much. I LOVE this coat. I wear it on all occasions: to work, under my hard ski shell, to evening events, as a light jacket in the summer. My favorite things about this coat are that it is fitted well and you'll look great in it, AND it keeps you warm outside but is just fine wearing it inside. I think I wear this coat 350 days out of the year, no exaggeration. It will be the best money you spend - just get it! OH, and don't let me forget that it weighs practically nothing, and because I have back problems it's awesome. Sometimes I forget I'm wearing it. Seriously, just buy the damn coat!

I actually weighted mine: 7.5 oz for a small one. Keeps me well insulated and it is super light. I really like the inner pockets/compartments, they come in handy :) The hood comes in very handy too. Highly recommend it! I love how comfortable it is and how warm it keeps me. You should get it. Really!

My boyfriend bought me this coat for Christmas. It's great. I've never had an ultralight down parka before but I love this one. First, I love the rust/sunset orange color, the deep interior pockets, and the exterior pockets. Even though it's an outdoor type coat, I wore it to work today. It's so comfortable, I don't want to take it off. It almost feels like it is part of me, weighs nothing. It's one of the most comfortable parkas I've ever owned. It's a little pricey (but I didn't buy it) and I am not sure I would have spent the money for such a coat but I think I will be wearing this thing for a long long time.

This is hands down the best jacket I've ever owned. I have had it for a year and wear in all the time in the Winter. It is so warm and super light weight. I love to travel with it because it packs up so small. I got the rusty color, it is more copper than red, but I love it.
