MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Insulation Jacket - Men's
Sick jacket!
By Handyman
Ranked #1153 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
December 11, 2009
I am 5-8, 133 lbs, and a size small fits me great. This is a slimmer fitting jacket but allows for good movement. I would say the coverage is a little small (waist and sleeve length) for climbing, but perfect fit for other activities.Warmth- This thing just feels warm, I would say easily warmer than a mid-weight fleece. The insulation seams instantly warm when you put the jacket on, but I am yet to have a problem with overheating.I think this will make a great winter layer, but I feel its best use will be backpacking: Super lightweight, packs into its pocket (or included stuff sack), wind/weather resistance. For technical wear, this easily replaces my fleece jackets,... and it looks good too.A little on the expensive side, but the weight savings and added weather resistance are worth every penny.
