Strengths
- Montane lists 315 g, with 80 g of 800+ fill power ExpeDRY goose down in size M
- Synthetic underarm panels cut bulk and keep warmth when wet (Montane)
- Pertex Quantum shell with non-fluorocarbon water repellency; the stuff sack fabric can be used to repair the jacket
- Montane lifetime guarantee
Weaknesses
- Trim fit: Montane says it is best worn over lightweight layers such as a light fleece
- Montane says the shell fabric sheds light rain and snow, so it is not a rain jacket
- Montane's FAQ puts it as the lightest fill in the Anti Freeze range (80 g against 110 g and 170 g), for cooler conditions
