Your altitude-induced chills will be gone in a flash, so to speak, when you wear the Western Mountaineering Flash XR Down Jacket. The finest 850-fill down stands between you and the numbing cold, while a feather-lite 20-denier ripstop shell resists abrasion and abuse.
- Quilted construction cuts back on weight without exposing you to cold spots
- Weighs in at a slim 11.25 ounces and packs down super-small
- Elastic piping seals wrists and hem for thermal efficiency without excess bulk or gadgets
- Minimalist design for weight management on gear-heavy expeditions
Bottom Line: The Flash shrugs off even the nastiest belay-threatening squalls.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
What is the difference between the xr and the normal hooded flash?
What is the difference between the xr and the normal hooded flash? I tried the flash on today and then the montbell ul and the flash was longer and more fitted than the montbell. I am 6'6" 215 and the XL wast great. Maybe a half inch longer in the arms but no biggie

The XR has a highly water resistant outer fabric that makes it a better outerwear piece. The regular hooded has an ultralight outer fabric that allows it to be the most compressible, lightest down layer you'll ever need. The fit is near identical.

Hey why does the western mountaineering website list this jacket

Hey Bobby, great catch. I am one of the reps for Western Mountaineering and the WM website is not accurate. The correct retail on this piece is $315. I will contact Western Mtng today and get that changed. $300 was Fall 2010 retail pricing, and I tell you, prices have gone UP! Backcountry.com is a totally above board retailer, and they have never done any price gouging... I have been working with them for 17 years! Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Questions like this usually sit idle on the item page forever. I would recommend clicking on the gray "Chat Now" box on the upper right of the page to initiate a chat with a gear expert. They have immediate and real-time access to inventory, pricing, and order information. Hope that helps.
