Nick G's Review of Mont Bell U.L. Down Jacket - Men's

This is probably the best bang-for-the-buck ultralight down jacket on the market today. As I started paring down my pack weight, I decided to pick one of these up & I'm extremely glad I did. It replaced my Patagonia R1 jacket (and a couple other fleece sweaters) as my cool weather insulating piece and saved me about 5 oz. It's very warm for it's weight, and it breathes pretty well. It's so light that you barely notice that you're wearing a jacket. The quality and detailing are top-notch.
The sizing is what I would call 'Standard' - it's just a bit 'blocky'. I use mine as a mid-layer down sweater, so I sized down. The XL was too big in the body, so I ended up with a Large. It fit's nicely through the body & shoulders, but I wish it was an inch longer in length - both in the torso and the sleeves. (I'm 6' 5", 220 lbs.) Another complaint is that it does not have a drawcord or elastic gather at the hem, so cold air can sneak into the jacket at the bottom. Still recommended, though!
