The world´s lightest down jacket - Montbells Plasma 1000 Down Jacket. I am in the Norwegian wilderness to test jacket in inclement weather.
I test it with Montbells U.L. Thermawrap Jacket and Montbells Versalite Rain Jacket, to see if they fit together.
I am in the transition from heavy weight backpacking/hiking to ultralight backpacking/hiking.
I hike here in Scandinavia were there is a tradition to use very heavy gear, because of the cold and inclement weather.
I am trying to change the tradition, and still be safe and comfortable.
