Typo in the first paragraph: "the Resolve XT is an example of jacket"

Also this is misleading as it references two different sizes when talking about weights:

"Coming in at 604g in a men's large, with 220g of dry-treated 750 Fill Power RDS approved duck down (men's medium),"

Thanks for spotting the typo.

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.
