MontBell Ultralight Down Parka - Men's

Item #MTB0070 | 0 in Stock

Is this jacket warm enough to wear as an everyday down in 20-30...

By Ranked #287 - Men's Down Jackets December 25, 2008

Is this jacket warm enough to wear as an everyday down in 20-30 degree temps, without a shell to bum around town etc? I love the packability of it but I'm concerned it wont be warm enough from all the comments about how light it is, it sounds like its not filled to much. I'd consider the next heaviest MB down...Any thoughts?

I stay plenty warm with a long sleeve underneath this jacket in the 20-30s including the 30-40 mph wind gusts that last ALL day here in KS. This thing CUTS through the wind like the wind doesn't even exist. I love it!

This is a very light jacket (like takes four seconds to fall to the floor) making me wonder the same thing about the warmth... The down fill in these jackets is extremely nice, and combined with the basically windproof shell you should stay plenty warm with this jacket down into the 20s and 30s. If you start getting cold at all while wearing this just use a long-sleeve baselayer and it will boost the warmth quite a bit. Amazing jackets by Mont bell, and warmer than you would expect...This is Spencer - Keep in mind that 800 fill is not how much is in there, but the type of feathers. 800 is like the best you can get, and you need far less 800 fill down to keep you are warm as say 600 fill. So it being light is not exactly a problem. Yeah Chad is right alone, most likely but you are not going in the buff under the jacket are you? are you?...Hahaha. Who doesn't? 8)
