Mont Bell Gear

I have been attempting to lighten my whole gear setup and have found some great stuff from Mont Bell. I love the Thermawrap Jacket, Alpine Down Vest, the Merino Wool Highneck shirt and leggings. I used this on my recent mule deer hunt in Colorado. The temps in the morning was in the low teens and warmed up into the high 50's during the day.  These garments worked great and were incredibly lightweight and very warm.  My layers of clothing for the hunt were Mont Bell Merino Wool shirt and tights, Cabelas Hunt Tech shirt, Montbell Thermawrap Jacket and Montbell Alpine Down Vest.  I can't believe how light yet warm these garments are.  Can you believe that the vest and the jacket combined in their stuff sacks only weigh 1.4 lbs or 22.6 ounces!!
