Montbell Plasma 1000 Down Parka

Review

[@steffenmuhle6517]

Can you please comment on the sizing? I am rather slim and 182cm tall (or 6 feet) and had problems with S sizing of other jackets being too small, so I am looking at size M unless you advise against that. Also, can you comment on the packed size? Does it come with a packbag? Thanks!

You are 6 feet and go for a Small!? I understand you are slim but a Medium or Large should be your only options :)

Great review! Curious what size you went with? How tall are you, and what your weight is? Seems like Montbell sizes can be a bit tricky sometimes.

all the outer stitching makes it as waterproof as a tea bag .

Up to what temperature can it be used as static insulation?

I like yours! I bought 1 a few years ago but they didn't come with pockets or a hood, it was considered a sweater.

Have you used it backpacking? I'm curious to know how it would hold up to pack straps. I have some MontBell gear and I've been very happy with the quality. Thanks for the review and any feedback.

So far is has done fine, although I have not really backpacked in it as it is just to warm. But being packed in my bag, in and out, around camp and even sleeping in on cold nights and it has done well

are you sure this is the plasma 1000? The plasma doesnt come with pockets or a hood.

[@chuckkimmerle1320]
