By Anonymous Ranked #2026 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets February 6, 2007

The Montbell UL is a great jacket. As usual I am impressed with Montbell's quality and attention to detail. After sizing issues for a couple seasons this update nailed the fit and added a new front zip and handwarmer pockets. At 6ft and 180lbs I fit the large perfectly. Slightly higher cut is ideal for climbing harnesses, but does not ride up even on my long torso.

This jacket is a mere 9 oz., perfect for the ultralight junkie and the super warm Exceloft seems thin but is warm for the weight. My UL could take the place of a heavier fleece and when used in conjunction with a light fleece felt as warm a heavier down jacket. The 15oz. shell may seem delicate but it is tougher than I thought and has held up well while hiking in thickets and brush. No snags.

Stylish enough for kicking it around town and ideal for Spring to Fall excursions or an extra winter layer. I could live in my UL 24/7....it's that comfortable.
