Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The icy grip of winter might think it's tough, but it hasn't yet been matched against the 800-fill goose down of the MontBell Men's Alpine Light Down Parka. This hooded puffy slap the cold in the face, challenges it to a duel, and emerges victorious when you keep warm on frozen bivy ledges, high-altitude basecamps, and ski tour lunch stops. The incredibly compressible design and included stuff sack make for compact travel."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Montbell Alpine Light Down Parka is a highly functional mid-layer that possesses some essential characteristics for backcountry travel: aggressive warmth to weight ratio, while maintaining exceptional compressibility. Once again by comparing the Alpine Light layer to its’ fleece counterparts you find them lighter, more compact, and far warmer. The secret to the warmth of this garment is the excellent wind shedding ability of the 30-denier Ballistic® nylon shell. 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 whether you frequent the slopes of the backcountry, endure the challenges of a winter camp, or like to look the part around your favorite mountain town.

"Great piece of gear. Fit is almost athletic cut. Warmth is awesome, hood is great and it's extremely light. If it's real cold out, I'll wear this under my shell for ice climbing and it does great. and the hood will fit over my helmet, barely.

Excellent construction, nice soft warm pockets and it looks great."
