MontBell Light Shell Jacket
Above: The current Light Shell Jacket, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Fabric: ripstop nylon
Price Paid: $89

This is just one of those really functional, very straightforward jackets. It does everything it's designed to do and more.

The Light Shell has become my everything jacket. I've worn it under my Goretex jacket sking on really cold days as a middle layer, I've worn it mountain biking on cold days, I've worn it hiking to the top of Torreys Peak (14er), and just about everywhere eles including cruising the street on my day to day activities. The Light Shell is basically a wind jacket with a wicking mirofleece lining that traps air, keeping you warm and wicking moisture away from your skin.

The sleeves are cut long enough for active use, over all fit is excellant - It does not restrict my movememnt in any way. I'm about 5' 11'' and 170 pounds and I wear the large.

It has microfleece side strecth pannels that help regulate heat and provide some stretch through the body.

One chest pocket, but its big enough for a good wool hat, a energy bar and personal items.

So far I have been very pleased with my Light Shell Jacket. I give it no special treatment and it has held up extreamly well. I would recommend this jacket to anybody.

The Light shell blocks the stiffest wind, is very warm, very compact, really warm, and deals with light precipitation very well.
