MontBell Ultralight Down Parka - Men's
Super Soft
By Doug Oldiges
Ranked #204 - Men's Down Jackets
December 1, 2010
I'm 6'1', 175 lbs and ordered the Large which fits fine w/plenty of room for some layering. I think the waist may have been too short had I gone with the Medium. Super soft and nice to the touch fabric and like everyone else has already said, this jacket weighs next to nothing, yet is a nice insulating layer. The 'open' pockets do allow for cold air to enter but unlike so many other reviews, THE HOOD IS ADJUSTABLE! In addition to a good insulating layer it also folds down extremely small which will be good for me to stash inside my pack as a 'just in case' I need some extra insulation item. Overall, a really jacket.
