any one know if the Montbell Alpine Light Down Jacket (http://www.prolitegear.com/montbell_alpine_light_down_jacket.html)is a good jacket I was doing a search but didn't find any Information. I am also looking at the golite columbus but its is about 50 bucks more and doesn't seem to be in stock at most places.
With wearing down jacket do I want it form fitting or a little big ie Large or XL?

Does it have a zipper or just snaps? Hard to tell from the website photos.

about how compressable is it?

Its very small when compressed. Like the size of a softball

This Is a GREAT Jacket I got mine last year and will never hike without it in cold weather. If u think u need it get the XL it’s the smallest X large jacket I ever had. If I got the large it would have had to go back. Used this down to the single digit temps and kept me toasty. Just can’t do any activity with it on or you will burn up. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Are you speaking of the Montbell or Feathered Friends?
