MontBell Alpine Light Down Jacket

This jacket cannot be beat for its warmth, weight, and pack size. I have owned it for 4 years and it has never let me down. I'm 6'1", 180lbs and the large fits me well. I used to carry this with me on almost every winter hike as emergency warmth until I replaced with the MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Insulation Parka this last season(synthetic can get wet). Two hand warmer pockets are not easily accessed with a pack on, but two large internal drop in pockets are wonderful. Water bottles, gloves, maps, all will fit in them(run from chest to bottom). MontBell makes a top notch product. Stylish enough for use in the town as well. T-shirt, jeans, hat and this jacket have kept me warm when the temps drop down into the teens. If you are looking for down jacket, any of the MontBell jackets should be considered.
