Ok, could not find a single light weight synthetic jacket in any of gear stores I visited today (Bogong, ME, Paddy Palin, Pinnacle, Snowgum, etc.) A few bulkier ski style jackets, a couple of old stock odd sized things and plenty of down, but nothing useful.
Does anyone have any experience with the Montbell Flatiron?

Looks quite good on paper(Exceloft body 120 g/m2, sleeve 80 g/m2) but cant seam to find much as far as first hand experiences. Its either that or the RAB Generator. The Flatiron has slightly more fill so should be a bit lighter, I'm also wondering how helmet compatible the hood is? |
