MontBell Thermawrap Pro Insulated Jacket - Men's
THE midweight puffy.
By The Cascade Kid
Ranked #351 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets
December 26, 2011
This is practically NOLS instructor uniform in the rockies. It's super light, and for its weight, its incredibly warm.
Compared to the standard jacket of this weight -the mountain hardwear compressor- this jacket is better cut, weighs less, looks better, and is only slightly less warm. It has great stretch cuffs and the zippers are of appropriate weight for a lightweight jacket.
It's not the most durable jacket ever, but nothing made of featherweight nylon is. it quickly frayed a little bit around the cuff and at the jawline, but it's on the whole snag resistant. Not for offwidth climbing.
Mine has seen at least 100 days in the field heavily used, and another 50 in the city, worm everywhere, and its still going strong. It's also easy to wash, and unlike down, you don't have to worry about it getting wet.

Agree on the NOLS comment, out of all 11 instructors on my semester, at least 7 wore this Thermawrap. For good reason as well, I have one and its super warm and light
