and the montbell ultralight inner down jacket is less than half of the weight of this with more goose fill down. montbell. no brainer unless you're going for bulkier, and heavier things.

Well, let me take a stab: The MontBell is made with a 30D nylon, utilizing 800 fill down, and is about 11.3oz and costs about $160 bucks. Mountain Hardwear's most similar jacket to this is the Phantom Jacket. The Patagonia Fitzroy is made with a 50-denier 100% all-recycled polyester ripstop with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. They use 700-fill down and it costs $250 bucks according to the Patagonia website. The most similar jacket in Mountain Hardwear's line would probably be this Sub Zero Jacket. All of these jackets will keep you warm while standing still as they are all very similar, with great features, and all very nice. It really comes down to how much money you want to spend and which brand you like. If you want to be extremely warm... I would check out the Absolute Zero Jacket from Mountain Hardwear as it is the warmest thing we could come up with and still call it a jacket! Hope this helps!
