Ideal lightweight down jacket!

By jtagudin1658849 Ranked #3311 - Women's Down Jackets December 15, 2008

A long time ago, I went on a white-water river rafting trip sponsored by my university rec. dept. Of course, we all got wet, and on the bus ride home, I started to get very chilled (not life-threatening hypothermia or anything, but I was VERY uncomfortable!) My friend reached into his backpack and produced what looked like a tiny pillow (in reality, a stuff sack with a down jacket inside!). I put on the jacket and could not believe what a difference it made in my warmth and comfort level. Ever since then, I've been searching for a lightweight down jacket of my own. I finally found it in this MontBell Ultralight! It's perfect...not too bulky. Only suggestion: I wish the stuff sack were attached to the jacket so it won't get lost. (I plan to sew it to the interior pocket myself...) To Backcountry officials: it would help if you could give us the actual garment measurements so we could decide how snug/loose the garment will truly be. Sizes vary so much from one manufacturer to another, size charts are not always accurate. I had to return a medium for a small, but the Backcountry service was easy and great!
