From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The MontBell Alpine Light Down Jacket is MontBell's new highly functional mid-layer that possesses characteristics essential for backcountry travel: aggressive warmth to weight ratio and wide ranging versatility, while maintaining exceptional compressibility. By comparing the Alpine Light layer to its fleece counterparts you find it lighter, more compact, and far warmer. The secret to the warmth of this garment is the phenomenal wind shedding ability of the 30-denier Ballistic™ nylon shell and copious amounts of 800 fill power goose down. By blocking a high amount of wind you are able to conserve the heat your body naturally produces. Cheat the icy blasts this Fall/Winter season and stay toasty warm whether you frequent the hidden slopes of your favorite backcountry spot, endure the challenges of a winter camp, or like to look the part around the trendiest mountain towns.

Whether you want a warm puffy jacket for a fall backpacking trip or a lightweight belay coat for a single-push alpine climb, this MontBell piece gets the job done.

"I got this jacket for trekking in Nepal. I wanted ultralight, compressible and warm, which I could carry in my pack for the high and chilly sections either alone or under a light shell. It did the job and was superb in all respects. And, though not a primary consideration, it looks great."

"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."
