Lighter than a t-shirt, Warmer than North Face Denali Fleece

By robby.stou2308779 Ranked #561 - Men's Down Jackets July 17, 2008

Bar far the best jacket I've ever owned! I'm actually known around town as the guy in the green jacket, because I live in it! It is much warmer than my North Face Denali Fleece, largely because it is almost wind proof. It is also much more comfortable than the Denali, because it is lighter, and about 1/5 as bulky. It's a definite buy, you'll never take it off. It is ideal for people who travel in and out of hot and cold conditions because it packs down smaller than a Nalgene 32 oz. water bottle, and comes with a stuff sack. I just can't say enough good things about this jacket, and Montbell as a company.

Since the jacket is down, it's not exactly rain ready, but Montbell has many other packable jackets to meet this feature as well, I just didn't need it.

The only down side to this jacket, which hopefully they'll fix in the next version, is there isn't a draw string in the bottom, so if your a skinny person like myself, you may catch a draft every now and then.

Ultimately I really hope this site starts carrying more of Montbell's superior products!!
