It was hard to decide how warm of a jacket we need for Annapurna. Fall treks in Nepal can be cooler at night in the upper elevations. But I decided my two pound Mountain Hardware expedition down parka we took for Kilimanjaro was a bit overkill. So, I decided to go with the Alpine Light Down Parka from Montbell. This jacket has 800 fill down with a 20-denier ballistic nylon shell and DWR treatment. I consider this a light to midweight down jacket. It only weights 13.3 ounces, but with the hi-loft down, it feels cozy and warm.
