Description

The Alpine Light Down Series are Mont-Bell's highly functional mid-layer's that flaunt characteristics essential for comfortable backcountry activity: aggressive warmth to weight ratio, while maintaining exceptional compressibility. The secret to the warmth of these garments not only relies on the high lofting 800 fill power goose down, but the inherent wind shedding ability of the 30-denier Ballistic Nylon shell. By blocking a large percentage of wind, a relatively light layer is able to conserve the heat your body naturally produces.

      Comments about Alpine Light Down Parka - Women's:

      I love this jacket! Perfect for backpacking or hiking as it weighs nothing and packs small. It is also very comfortable and looks nice. Not sure it would be warm enough for very cold weather but great for summers in the mountains at night. I also like that it has a hood and is slightly longer than similar jackets.

        Comments about Alpine Light Down Parka - Women's:

        The zipper is very difficult to close - can't imagine getting it done with freezing fingers. The green color is NOT what the picture showed but a very bright grass green, not too bad if you only use it as a backpacking midlayer, but it cuts down on versatility (wouldn't want to use it off the mountain). Compared to the Montbell down inner jacket it's much stiffer (30 dernier versus 15) but not truly sturdy, less compressible and it weighs slightly more. The hood doesn't have draw strings to tighten it. I doubt it would stay on in windy conditions. According to the Montbell sizing chart I would have needed and XL (normally I'm between an M and an L. Ordered the L and had plenty of room for layering. I meant to use the jacket for layering, but am not convinced at all that it would be warm enough in spite of the 800 fill (wanted it for high altitude hiking), just not enough fill weight. Bottom line: a great lightweight jacket, but doesn't work for what I wanted. Will return this item.

        It can not keep warmth as a down garment

        By Douglas Tan

        from Beijing China

        Verified Buyer

        Pros

        • Pretty light

        Cons

        • Too less goose down there

        Best Uses

          Comments about Mont Bell Alpine Light Down Parka - Women's:

          When you have it on your body, you can feel the coldness out there.
          Why do I choose a insulated goose down parka which can not keep my body warm?
          And the down leakage made you depressed and disappointed.:(

          Technology Used In The Alpine Light Down Parka - Women's

          Baffled Construction

          Baffles are chambers created between the outer shell and inner liner of a sleeping bag or jacket. These chambers hold the insulation and create an even distribution, preventing unwanted grouping of insulation. There are different types of baffles. A "stitched-through" baffle joins the outer shell and inner liner together by means of direct stitching. Heat loss through seams is a disadvantage of the stitched through baffle. Optimal warmth is achieved through the use of a "box wall" style baffle. This method uses additional material between the outer and inner materials to create a wall that unites the two layers and creates a slightly larger and more uniform baffle. Different variations on the box wall positioning create a variety of advanced baffle systems.

          Down Insulation

          Water foul, like geese and duck, actually provide one of the most efficient forms of insulation available. Down is the light, fluffy undercoating at the base of the feathers of waterfowl. Down is a multi-dimensional structure that insulates by creating pockets of still air that retain body heat. Down is highly breathable and exceptionally comfortable. It is longer lasting and much more compressible than synthetic insulation. A disadvantage of down insulation is its loss of efficiency in wet conditions. It will also take much longer to dry than a synthetic insulation. Down is available in different fill powers. Fill power is defined by the amount of loft that is gained under loft test conditions. The higher the fill power number the greater the loft and the greater the performance of the down insulation. Fill powers may range from 500 fill to 900+ fill power.
