By brandt.kempton2342382 Ranked #2574 - Men's Down Jackets January 30, 2009

I've tried the Patagonia, sent it back, way too bulky and short, I've tried the Mont Bell UL, sent it back (very nice but too much of an Inner Layer) This Alpine Light is where it's at, although I got the parka which I don't seem to see on BC.com!! This is also the best jacket I've ever owned, Its cut is superb, I'm 6'3" and around 200 lbs but pretty lean an athletic, and the only gripe I'd say I have is it could be a tad bit longer in the torso, but again I have a long torso and its def not bad enough that I would send this one back, b/c the rest of it makes up for it and fits like it is custom cut. I called and spoke with a rep at MB and he said that their LG down jackets run one inch shorter in the back the the XL so its very similar, I think it was 28' from neck to waist. It's warmth to weight ratio is absolutely stunning, and when you put it on you cant even feel it's there. 10/10 Great value!
