"You'll see the Montbell Women's Alpine Light Down Jacket on some of the world's most hard-core ultralight backpackers, climbers, and backcountry skiers, and on locals at the pub. That's because this Montbell down jacket's simple design, quality craftsmanship, and technical materials lend themselves to almost any activity. A super light ballistic nylon shell and single quilt construction hold the Alpine Light 800-fill down in place, while a DWR finish protects it from getting wet. Montbell lined the collar with micro-fleece for comfort and gave this premium ultra-light down jacket light, simple elastic cuffs to seal out drafts. At just 9.6oz, you'll find yourself throwing this down jacket in your pack for nearly any alpine adventure and wearing it out on the town when you return to civilization."

"Super nice jacket. Very warm and light and compresses to a tiny size. Perfect size down jacket. Not big like the Michelin man and not teeny like the UL Down Inner Jacket. Just right. Looks really sharp on the town as I have had several positive compliments."
