The MontBell Men's Alpine Light Down Jacket is just waiting to warm you in the mountains, and it'll do so without clearing out your bank account. The premium 800-fill down insulation provides incredible warmth without making you feel like you're wearing twenty heavy blankets. And both the shell and lining have wind-resistant Ballistic durability for long-lasting strength against rocks, trees, and other sharp objects out in the wilderness. When it gets warm out in the woods, you can compress this jacket down to about the size of a Nalgene bottle and stash it in your pack in case it gets cold again.
The Alpine also features elastic cuffs that softly seal out any blustery winds blowing across your body. A drawcord cinches tightly to retain all that wonderful warmth, and a microfleece collar prevents any uncomfortable rubbing against your neck. MontBell lined the hand pockets with fleece to keep your hands cozy as well as warm when you enjoy the view from the top of the mountain you just conquered.
The Mont Bell Alpine Light Down Jacket gets roughly 10% lighter and softer without sacrificing durability! Mont Bell's most functional mid-layer's flaunt characteristics essential for comfortable back country activity. The secret to the warmth of these garments not only relies on the high lofting 800 fill power goose down, but the inherent wind shedding ability of the silky 20-denier Ballistic Nylon shell. By blocking a large percentage of wind, a relatively light layer conserves the heat your body is naturally producing.

My wife gave me this Jacket to replace an old tatter puffy. I typically use Down Jackets as a mid-layer, and have rarely used them as a standalone because they aren't wind resistant. This Jacket has great wind resistance! I've skied on cold windy days and this Jacket performed beyond expectations. The Jacket has two lined hand warmer pockets which are effective, two inside pockets which are great for gloves. About the only thing this Jacket lacks is a chest pocket.
Bought this as a gift for someone to get them through the Utah winters. great basic jacket, simple, comfy, warm, and good pockets. the inside pockets are pretty and the outer pockets are really soft inside.
