Cut trim to work more effectively with outer layer Our Verdict The Montbell Plasma 1000 is the lightest Down jacket availible that with a 1000 fill power is truly a marvel of weight to warmth ratio. Montbell in the Plasma have created a down jacket that is literally like wearing nothing at all, it also compresses to a tiny size so will add nothing to the overall weight of your kit.
