I received this ultralight down jacket (I consider it more of a sweater)and it went straight into my pack for a multi day show shoe trip to Clouds Rest in Yosemite. In the evenings I slipped this jewel of a garment on with my vest and shell and was toasty warm as I gazed at the stars. At 7oz. this garment is lighter that the polartec 100 top I used to carry and so much warmer. It has become one of my favorite pieces of gear. It's like Diamonds. Gotta love Montbell.

Though my wife and I have only had the Lightning out one time so far, I must say I am very pleased. This is the first clip type tent I have owned and the first Sierra Designs tent I have purchased in many moons. I used to swear by Glacier Tents years ago. I purchased this tent because of the light weight and am pleased that it goes up quickly and taught. The space is very comfortable for two and four people can sit around and play cards. And the big roundish door is too cool. I look forward to sleeping in this jewel for years to come.
