MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Parka - Women's - 2008

Prepare yourself for frigid mountain conditions the next time you head into the backcountry with the MontBell Women’s Ultralight Thermawrap Parka. Whether you’re climbing, backpacking, or skiing, this puffy jacket draws a strict division between you and the bitter cold. Two hand-warmer pockets comfort your frozen digits after a long alpine pitch, and the adjustable hood and hem help seal out cold air and snow when you’re on belay. When it’s time to make some turns or tie into the sharp end, the Thermawrap stuffs into the included stuff sack for easy transport.

Bottom Line: An ultralight puffy for the frigid backcountry.

outstanding

With slightly thicker insulation than its non-hooded counterpart the thermawrap jacket, this lightweight parka is amazing. I got it for my lady who is 5'5" and ~110lbs in a med due to its slightly small sizing. It is a bit heavier than its down cousin but adds a margin of safety in the chance of it getting wet. It weighs a scant 309g w/ its included 7g stuffsack on our digi. The construction is impeccable as are all the MB products that we have purchased. It has an adjustable hood, hem, and a triangle of stretch fabric at the cuffs, which all are very functional It is definitely not bomb-proof due to its lightweight nature though, so no bushwacking. Overall an outstanding parka.

Write your question here...how is the sizing? I am 5'2 - weigh about 105 - but have broad shoulders for my size- I would rather have a loose fit than too snug - small or medium? true sizes or skimpy sizes

I am a little taller (5'4") and a few pounds heavier than you and I wear a medium. If you want it to be a smidge loose- I would go for a medium. If you only want to wear it with a light layer, I would do a form fitting small. Montbell definitely runs small since they are Japanese. This is a fabulous jacket! Enjoy!

Great layer!

By:
December 15, 2008

I bought this layer for alpine rock and ice climbing, and it is just what I wanted. Can layer it over two light layers, yet it has a trim fit, so I can still put one or even two down layers over it! Also goes well under a softshell. Handwarmer pockets are super roomy. You will not find a lighter layer, and it is extremely warm, I end up bringing it everywhere since it stuffs down so small. I'm 5'2 and XS fit great, a bit tight on the armholes, but I have disproportionally big shoulders. And it is a cute cut :)

At 5'2'', I'm a fairly small person. Is this

At 5'2'', I'm a fairly small person. Is this jacket as big and bulky as other puffy jackets? The last thing I want is to look like a barrel walking down the street.

It's not puffy. No barrel effect.

Warm and light

By:

This Jacket is the ultimate for winter. I live in a wetter climate so synthetic was the way to go and I love that it weighs next to nothing. I like the cut for a woman because its not girly but it fits well. The details at the sleeve and waist are very functional and the hood isn't cumbersome. The honey color is a great departure from all the black outerwear I have. Oh yeah I also have the down vest by mont-bell and it is the most functional piece I have.

Better than fleece

By:
December 16, 2008

This is my favorite layering piece on the planet. I wear it instead of my fleece 90% of the time. It is incredibly warm, warmer then fleece. It doesn't have the bulk of fleece so it is easier to pack and it is not restrictive in the arms like fleece. The outer shell is lightly water resistant. It weighs nothing and comes with its own stuff sack...it is always in my pack or on my back! Love it, love it! Trying out the pants next!
