Mont-Bell

By Ranked #4213 - Women's Down Jackets April 27, 2007

I've only been using this jacket a couple of weeks but so far so good. Yesterday I wore it with only a short sleeved t-shirt underneath on my morning walk. It was a brisk 34º outside with no wind. I was perfectly comfortable. I have also used it two nights tent camping where it came in very handy as an extra layer of insulation around my hips inside my Mont-Bell #7 down bag. This bag is rated to 42º and it got down into the high 30s. The jacket was the perfect thing for a little extra warmth.
I wish the jacket were a wee bit more generous in the shoulders, allowing a little more loft but then I'm a wee bit more generous around the chest than the average gal. I'm looking forward to using this jacket as a replacement for my heavy fleece while backpacking this summer. It has shed a couple of feathers but nothing out of the ordinary.
