Montbell Alpine Light Down Jacket -

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 Alpine Light Down Series are our highly functional mid-layer’s that flaunt characteristics essential for comfortable backcountry activity: aggressive warmth to weight ratio, while maintaining exceptional compressibility. 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 30-denier Ballistic Nylon shell. By blocking a large percentage of wind, a relatively light layer is able to conserve the heat your body naturally produces. Designing outdoor clothing with warmth to weight ratio in mind is great, but we also like to think the Alpine Light pieces succeed when it comes to warmth to dollar ratio.

Montbell Alpine Light Down Jacket Reviews:

Positive Reviews:

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.

Classic?

Other than what others have said, great choice for if you are looking for something in between the super lightweight down sweaters and more full blown parkas. One of the better, more weight efficient ways to bring some added warmth with you on the trail. Combined with the great fit and incredibly warm hood an excellent buy.

Another winner from MB

I must disagree with the above review of one star, as I have both the a 2010 Alpine Light Down Parka and the 2011. Both coats are superb IMO, and there does not appear to be any variation in fill. Maybe I got lucky or the previous reviewer did not. Either way, I love these coats!

Love this coat!

Absolutely love this piece for its warmth-to-weight. Less than a pound for this jacket and it is so very warm. I use this for alpine use in the Rockies during all seasons. Keep the down dry and this jacket will treat you nicely for all of your backcountry needs. Overall, a great piece from Montbell.

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.

Montbell is going downhill

I bought the 2011 version of the Alpine Light to replace the one I bought a couple years ago. More than anything I just wanted the adjustable draw string at the hem that is on this year’s model and not on my old one. When I got the new jacket it felt a lot thinner than my old one. I laid it down on my floor to compare thickness the old jacket had twice as much loft as the new one. I gave it a while just to make sure it wasn't because the down had been compressed. On Montbell's website they still list 4 ounces of down fill just like they have for the past three years. Suspect that Montbell is cutting some corners now that they have a foothold in the market.
