MontBell Alpine Light Down Jacket - Men's
November 20, 2009
Note that this jacket, and almost all of MontBell's nylon outerwear, already has a factory DWR finish.

Jetboil Classic Personal Cooking System
February 12, 2009
Not really a question, but I'd rather not slant the star rating with a review, having never owned this stove. There is a recall on JetBoil stoves, such as this one. See: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09126.htmlHaving said that, I have a piezo-lit Primus canister stove that I bought for $20, and barring the unpleasantness of using the (awfully) disposable canisters, I couldn't be happier. Not only did I save ~60$ compared to a *Boil, but the thing'll boil a liter of water in 3 min (and that's including set-up), and my pot + windscreen + stove weighs < 8 oz.

MontBell Alpine Light Down Jacket - Men's
February 10, 2009
Fabric is 30D- not trash-bag territory like the U.L.; I expect mine to last for a long time, but I'd still watch out for tree branches, etc., as this isn't a shell and you don't want to cover your brand-new puffy with duct tape, do you? I can't compare it to the RAB jacket, except to say that SOME RAB puffies use 30D Pertex, which is definitely comparable to Montbell's 30D Ballistic calendared nylon. Crap, I sound like a Montbell rep...Stay warm.
