From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Montbell Ultralight Down Inner Jacket is part of the highly refined MontBell Ultra-Light Down Inner series. This family of products delicately balances the characteristics that define reliable ultra-light apparel. For example, the U.L. Down Jacket weighs less than most cotton Tee-shirts, blocks an amazing amount of wind, and is warmer than most heavy fleece jackets, while compressing to the size of a 32 ounces water bottle. Specifically designed as a replacement for the heavy and bulky fleece garments used by many backcountry enthusiasts, the U.L.Down Series is “what you need” when warmth is critical, minimal weight is paramount, and space in your pack is at a premium.

"Great jacket. Perfect for 3 season use. Light weight, compresses down to nothing, and wind proof. Pull it out at night or use it when not moving. I have used it with a light base layer down in the 30's. Also great for adding warmth to your sleeping system if you do not want to pull out the winter sleeping bag yet."

"I needed something light, warm and very compact for spring thru fall backpacking and light mountaineering in the Pacific Northwest and this item fits the bill. At only 6oz and stuffing down to almost nothing it is the go anywhere ultra light down sweater, if you think this a parka think again."

"I found the jacket is fine at low altitudes in the summertime but not very good for colder temps even with a shell. The key word is Ultralight - this jacket liner works in conditions that favor an ultralight hiking kit. In more serious conditions, the insulation falls short."

"This U. L. Down Inner Jacket from MontBell is everything the other reviewers said.

The down really springs back to full loft, more than anything except my U. L Super Stretch Down Hugger #7 sleeping bag and Alpine Down Jacket from MontBell. I think their down is superior to anything I have owned."

"This jacket is amazing!!! I really don't leave home without it. I use it as my everyday jacket as well as an inner shell skiing. I have a big down jacket but this is far more superior. I just got back from Moab and it was the perfect piece for those cool spring nights."

"This jacket is awesome. At less than 8 ounces, it stuffs down to miniscule proportions for easy packing, then puffs back up like it has springs inside. Worn alone it is great for chilly nights in camp, and under a shell it makes the colder nights seem a bit toasty."

"This jacket rocks. It is warm yet it will fit in to you back pocket. This is a no frills jacket, no pockets, snaps up the front. Best suited for around town or the in mountains. In the mountains just slide it under your shell and you will be toasty."
