tvashtarkatena Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 800 fill. Zip hood. Fully baffled construction. 18 oz. zip outer pockets. 2 big velcro 'glove' pockets. Decent colors, even. $200 at 2nd Ascent. This thing is the size of a cloud. Had to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromage Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 18 oz. 18oz for what? Mont Bell website lists fill weight at 6.7oz, total weight at 25.2oz. That's a big difference between the fill weight and total weight. The FF Volant, by comparison, weighs 26oz (with hood) and has 10oz of down in it. Plus the fabrics FF uses are way more water resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvashtarkatena Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 I weighed it in the stuff sack without the hood - 18 oz. Both make great products that differ in weight, durability, and price. I have a Volant that lasted (although it wasn't pretty in its final years) over 25 years. I also have 4 FF bags. The Montbell's hood is better - warmer, and zipped so it won't blow away when the whimpy snaps come undone. My FF hood is about 4 years old, however, so maybe they've upgraded them since then.
