Montbell Alpine Light Down Parka – A Lot of Warmth Without The Puff
By Editor | September 23, 2011
For real warmth on cold winter or fall weather look to the Montbell Alpine light down parka which features 800-fill down for a reasonable price.
The shell is made of durable 30-denier ballistic nylon and performs well blocking out wind. The great thing about the Montbell Alpine light down parka is the fact that the jacket is not very puffy, which means you can actually wear it under a hard shell jacket for more protection.
Other great features are 2-way adjustable hood, hand warmer pockets and micro-fleece lined collar increases comfort. Full front zipper allows for easy venting . Elastic cuffs keeps out the wind and internal pocket gives storage for small gear and personal belongings.
The fit is not too roomy or tight, so overall the Montbell Alpine is quite comfortable and also comes with a stuff sack, so you can compact the jacket into it.
