MontBell Alpine Light Down Womens' Parka

by KarlosJ83, Gear Expert from UT, United States Written on October 28, 2009
The jacket is a bit too big but if I'd ordered a M/L Japanese measure then this would have been perfect but the measurement guide suggested L/XL Japanese for my 36" chest. As is the norm however we do layer up during the winter months so for this purpose the size is suitable, though maybe not as stylish but my guy can wear it too! There's a lot less down than anticipated, it's super thin & lightw

Excellent quality!!

by Cody C., from GA, United States Written on February 19, 2015
This jacket is the best value for the price, quality and style! I watched/read reviews of this jacket on outdoorgearlab.com and they reviewed it as a great value, but a little less flattering with a "box-y fit". MontBell must have updated the jacket after their review, because it is not box-y nor unflattering. Thanks for the great jacket at a great price!

nice down jacket, great service

by Hong S., from GA, United States Written on December 3, 2014
unfortunately the package arrived ripped and the jacket was stuffed into a clear plastic also torn. but luckily it was not damaged except for couple of faint smudges below the hood. i wrote to campsaver and they responded quickly and offered a 10% credit. nice gesture and service.

montbelle makes very good jackets. we already have two. this one for my wife has great yellow color called citron something. it is stylish and warm. it is size medium and fits snugly for 110 lb woman.

Great jacket!

by cmd, from UT, United States Written on May 5, 2014
I have only had this hoodie a few weeks but the weather has been extremely cold, so I feel able to comment. At first I was thinking that I had made a mistake and it was not going to stand up to a Northern Utah winter. Wearing it indoors, I didn't think it was that warm. But then I wore it outside over a T-shirt and thin fleece to walk a couple of miles in single digit temps. I wasn't glowing with

awful color, tricky zipper

by love to move, Written on September 10, 2013
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 tru

Great!

by Ace, Written on September 10, 2013
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.

Love this Jacket

by Serena, from BC, Canada Written on September 10, 2011
This is a great jacket to carried into the back country for warmth and lightweight. No more bulky down jacket for me.[...] This is my favorite site for shopping gears.

The hood is the best feature

by John, from TX, United States Written on September 10, 2011
The fit is an athletic style but has room for light layering. Its size and weight make it perfect for spring backpacking and eco-travel. The stylish design works around town too. A medium is a bit short (as parkas go) for my daughter's 5'10" / 135 lbs. frame. The same medium fit my wife and younger daughter well all around(5'7" & 5'6" /135 & 125 lbs. respectively).
They tried other brands but the

excellent jacket

by lsb, Written on September 10, 2011
I like this down parka, especially for the price. It fits well and is warm. The hood is nice for those cold windy days when you don't want to bother with a beanie. The only cold spot I have noticed is that when my hands are in the pockets, there is a cold pocket, probably because there isn't enought down between the pockets and the bottom of the jacket.

It can not keep warmth as a down garment

by Douglas Tan, from BEIJING, China Written on September 10, 2011
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.:(

warm, light, great hood

by Lil, Written on September 10, 2011
I should have bought a Montbell coat years ago. So light weight. I love it. The color is a little off. Says it's charcoal and it's bluer than I expected it to be. But whatever, close enough.
