I have that old mb alpine too And it's specs were 8 oz of 800 fill. Still an awe full lot of jacket, but indeed if the Peak is 13 oz, that would be about 50% thicker, assuming some of the extra fill weight is in the hood. |

L.L. Bean Ultralight 850 Down Jacket I returned the L tall I had ordered, as the sleeves were too short. I ended up with a Montbell in XL which had longer sleeves and was no more baggy than the L tall LL Bean. |

Montbell Down inner pants As mentioned these are a nice and light pair of warm pants. Sorry for the exclamation marks but I have never found stock pants like this! The great news with these is that they fit very slim for... |
