Montane North Star Down Jacket - Men's

Item #MNT0029 | 6 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Great Lightweight Down jacket

By Ranked #670 - Men's Down Jackets January 9, 2011

There is nothing that a designer could have done to improve on this jacket. The details are so well thought out, and the fabric feels great. It is very thin, and appears to be air tight. In a strong wind, I felt no air getting through and no loss of warmth. I wore the jacket on a day in the low twenties and the jacket was very comfortable with a long thin undershirt. With the wind blowing at 20 MPH, I could sense the cold but it didn't chill me. I would think the jacket could accommodate a heavyweight fleece without feeling too bulky, and with that, the combination would be good to zero. I also know I could wear the jacket with a shell over it and that would also allow it to be worn at lower temperatures. For the price, it is fantastic.
