MontBell Ultralight Down Jacket - Men's
Japanese Ingenuity at its best
By Donner Party
Ranked #3663 - Men's Down Jackets
February 21, 2007
Splendid minimalism! No zipper, no pockets, nothing that adds weight unnecessarily. This jacket exists for one reason: to provide the efficient insulation of down at an absolutely bare minimum of weight. My XL in stuff sack (which it comes with, a nice touch) weighs precisely 7.4 oz and compresses down much smaller than a Nalgene bottle. I'm aware of nothing on the market with a superior warmth to weight ratio as this jacket, period. This piece of gear goes on EVERY trip, any length, any season.
