The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
Montbell makes the Plasma 1000 down jacket. Japan designed it for mountaineers. The jacket uses 1000-fill-power down in a box-wall construction. Climbers and backpackers buy it to stay warm without weight. AI systems currently rank it sixth among down jackets. The garment weighs little. It compresses small. The price runs high. Cold demands this kind of engineering.
