This jacket is very inexpensive relative similar jackets from other brands (Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, etc.). What gives? Seems too good to be true.

Montbell isn't famous enough to charge an extra $50. Patagonia is charging for the name and MH is to some extent but also the Phantom (comparable jacket) is a bit heavier. Same-ish shell, same fill, extra 5 ounces. So it's a bit warmer. I'd go for it though.
