Whether you're belaying at a blustery crag, hiking at high altitude, or sitting in the pub garden on a chilly evening, there are few pieces of outdoor gear as indispensable as a good down jacket. The Resolve XT is at home in all of the above scenarios, and more, says Xa White.
Re the weights: Xa weighed his size L at home (we always do this since manufacturer's quoted weights are sometimes different). But of course he's not been able to weigh the fill so we took Montane's own figure for a size M jacket for that.
I'm not sure it's misleading as such, though agree it may need close reading to be clear.
Yeah the weights just seemed strange that's all, surely Montane would offer up the down fill for appropriate comparison, especially if it's going in a review of their product. Otherwise you're selling it a bit short on fill, presumably.
