Montbell gear updates

January 31, 2008 – 1:37 am by ryanc

Word is, Montbell’s very popular UL Down Inner Jacket will be updated for 2008. Changes include a lighter but more down-proof shell material and higher loft rated down. The end result should be a warmer but ever so slightly lighter version of it’s formal self. The garments in this line are some of the best weight to warmth ratio pieces in the industry and work equally well for a main insulation layer in lighter climates, or as a just-in-case extra layer in tougher climates.

Alternatives:

Patagonia Down Sweater
Cocoon UL 60 Pullover (synthetic, not down)
Nunatak Skaha Down Sweather

Slightly heavier Alternatives:

Feathered Friends Hyperion Jacket
Western Mountaineering Flight Jacket
Golite Cayenne Jacket
