MontBell Permafrost Light Down Jacket - Men's

The MontBell Men’s Permafrost Light Down Jacket combines toasty down insulation with Windstopper protection for a serious piece of alpine layering or stand alone coat. MontBell gave this jacket a generous cut for a range of layering options, but its 800-fill goose down and Windstopper technology mean the Permafrost can handle all but the most wintery of conditions. And coming in at well under a pound, this puffy won’t weigh down your pack.

Bottom Line: Expedition warmth without the weight factor.

Great puffy

After having to return a bunch of jackets due to fitment issues, this one is just right. I'm 5'10" 160lbs, and the medium is perfect. It's big enough to wear over my shell for keeping warm while switching modes in the backcountry, and looks so good I can wear it around town. The included stuff sack is great, and the jacket doesn't get too wrinkled when packed down tight. This isn't a super warm jacket, but serves as a great layering option, and will keep you toasty as long as you're generating some heat like you should be in the bc. The cut is pretty high, so if you like coats to cover your butt, this isn't it.

How does this compare to the Alpine Light Down Jacket? Is the permafrost designed for a cooler temperature range?

The Permafrost has Windstopper behind the face fabric, which makes it a better outer layer in bad weather. The Alpine Light's face fabric is ripstop nylon, making it lighter and more breathable for layering but not quite as wind-resistant when worn alone. Wind aside, the fill weight (4oz) and fill power are the same, so it's more a question of purpose. Hope that helps.

Almost perfect

By:
December 9, 2008

I've had this jacket about a month. Keeps me warm at 40 with a t shirt. The wind stopper is probably the key. Seems to be well made (china). Fits snug, yet allows for a 300 fleece under without feeling to stuffy. Plusses are the velcro cuffs, drawstring waist, zippered hand pockets (fleece on one side), soft collar, flat finish (gun), the wind-stopper, and the light weight and stuffability. The only thing i really miss is an inside zip pocket. I'm really glad I went the few extra dollars over comparable jackets. I bought a small that fits well at 5'9, 145 lbs, 30 waist.

Assuming you mean the Alpine Light Down Jacket, the difference is Windstopper. The Permafrost series has it, the Alpine Light series does not.
