MontBell America, Inc. Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket - Men's

 Brand : MontBell America, Inc.
Item : MTB0015
The lightweight, insulated, synthetic MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket offers superb warmth at only 8.7 ounces. Insulated with 50 grams of Exceloft, this jacket retains its warmth when wet, and its weight only increases by one percent when completely soaked. However, with a DWR-coated Ballistic Airlight nylon shell, you'd have to be in a downpour to get this jacket's insulation wet. Made for ice and alpine climbing, the Ultralight Jacket adds some much-needed warmth to your fast-and-light ascent. An included stuff sack stores and compresses the Thermawrap jacket in your pack.

MontBell America, Inc. Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket - Men's



Great minimalist layering piece!
This is a great layering piece for fast and light mountain travel. I couldn't believe it was almost half the weight of my Mt. Hardwear Compressor, but it seems to be true - they do it by eliminating shock cord, zippers and toggles, among other things, but it weighs near nothing and packs tiny. Not super warm, but perfect for the Pacific Northwest or as a second insulating coat. Note: the fit is also pretty minimalist, especially around the shoulders.


Light living
The Montbell UL is a great jacket. As usual I am impressed with Montbell's quality and attention to detail. After sizing issues for a couple seasons this update nailed the fit and added a new front zip and handwarmer pockets. At 6ft and 180lbs I fit the large perfectly. Slightly higher cut is ideal for climbing harnesses, but does not ride up even on my long torso. This jacket is a mere 9 oz., perfect for the ultralight junkie and the super warm Exceloft seems thin but is warm for the weight. My UL could take the place of a heavier fleece and when used in conjunction with a light fleece felt as warm a heavier down jacket. The 15oz. shell may seem delicate but it is tougher than I thought and has held up well while hiking in thickets and brush. No snags. Stylish enough for kicking it around town and ideal for Spring to Fall excursions or an extra winter layer. I could live in my UL 24/7....it's that comfortable.


Unbelievably light yet very warm mid-layer or jacket
I was originally considering the Patagonia Puff Jacket or Pullover as an insulating mid-layer under the trim-fitting Mountain Hardwear softshell that I just bought. But, the Patagonia pieces are cut large to layer over other garments and are relatively heavy (more than twice the weight of this piece). I just returned from a week of climbing long trad routes in the canyons of the Red Rocks during an extreme cold spell during which daytime high temps ranged from the 30s at the beginning of the week to the 40s later in the week. I had the Thermawrap jacket and pants with me during the entire time. They pack small enough to fit into my minimalist Platypus hydration pack, and provided a very impressive amount of warmth, keeping me comfortable after the sun set and the wind picked up, bringing temps below freezing. The jacket breathes well also, and I stayed dry even when working out hard on the approaches. The jacket looks good around town as well. Overall, it's just a great piece of gear.


Great but thin
A little too thin for me. Doesn't really make sense. Otherwise a great fit, high quality and comfortable.


Light Weight Warmth
Great jacket! Stylish enough to be in a Beastie Boys music video and still provides light weight warmth. The hand warming pockets were a pleasant surprise.
