Does anyone know the exact weight for this jacket? Probably not as light as a mont-bell, but still curious because I am sure it is quite nice...

its not as light as the Mont-Bell but its a lot warmer for sure. I will get the measurements later for you. If I were to choose, I would choose the columbia one. The Mont-Bell one is just way too thin for -10 degrees celsius. It is just more versatile as it is more insulated. You should check it out first in person to see if that is what you want.In my opinion you'll get a much higher quality jacket with the MontBell. Columbia works better for inexpensive clothing designed for work or in-town knock-around outerwear. If you want something that's better suited for the mountains, get the MontBell.DG: .80 lbs. Also, center back length for size large is 30", that is the benefit of buying Columbia they have decent sizing that doesn't leave you feeling like some androgynous French cragsman.
