I own two other Montane neoshell jackets and I bought the North Star Lite because of the quality of the others. Was not disappointed. Montane is one of the best companies out there in terms of attention to the smallest detail. Montane jackets are cut/tailored for activity and not boxy looking or baggy. I purchased it as a mid layer to go under my shell and it is perfect for this application. Jacket has a drawcord in the waist which not all jackets have. They use Allied (Titanium level) down which makes me happy. Bottom line this jacket is another keeper and I am going to keep on buying Montane because they do things right.
