Mountain Hardwear Nitrous Down Jacket - Men's

The Mountain Hardwear Men’s Nitrous Down Jacket provides the lightweight insulation of 800-fill down in a low-bulk package suited for nearly any day in the hills. You can wear the Nitrous Down Jacket over your shell to stay warm on a rest break, or use it as a mid layer in seriously cold conditions. Plus, this Mountain Hardwear jacket makes a really nice change from your hoody when you head downtown in the snow.

Bottom Line: Really warm and super light.

No. Not nearly as warm. It's a higher fill power, but much less down overall, making it more of a superlight, mid-range option than a heavy insulator. The only MH down jacket warmer than a Sub Zero is an Absolute Zero.

Nice Alternative to Patagonia Down Sweater

By: Backcountry.com Employee
May 23, 2009

This piece competes with the now super popular Down Sweater by Patagonia, however its cut for certain folks. I'm no fatass by any means (34 waist), and the Large was too tight around the hips. Its cut for you skinny folks, more so than the Patagonia. Its cut longer though, which was something I wanted in the Down Sweater, and has thinner baffles to prevent shifting of down. Pros:

-GREAT arm length
- UBER light, its lighter than the Patagonia
- Comes w/ stuff sack
- Packs down smaller than the Patagonia

Cons:

- too tight around hips (32 waist and smaller)
- NO INTERNAL POCKET, but has a handy chest pocket
- Elastic cuffs (I hate elastic cuffs, cause no matter what they stretch out)

Overall, a great alternative, if you are a skinny, lanky mofo, this is your choice for a premium cold weather midlayer
