its been given the "recommended" rating but they say for a few grams extra the mont bell ex light jacket is better value for money and warmer...
otherwise its a good ultralight down jacket with 1000 loft down being its main claim to fame... 136 gm

I can vouch for the EX Light, its a great jacket.

yeah i've got teh ultralight jacket, essentially the ex light with heavier nylon, but it wouldnt be enough for me in conditions others find it warm enough in, some people its ok down to 0 degrees, personally at those temps i'd opt for something warmer like the mont bell mountain light jacket, only available through their japanese website or stores... but they have plenty of other jackets to choose from available in other online stores..

yeah i know what you're thinking. I'm a kiwi and i'm not that resistant to the cold. whats wrong with me....
temps dont fluctuate that much where i live in auckland compared to where i go bushwalking.
