Been looking for a good deal on an UL jacket recently. I was browsing through backcountry.com and noticed that the search engine showed montbell jackets at normal price, but if you click on the item then you will see that the price is 40% off:

UL Inner Jacket $86.97 - http://www.backcountry.com/store/MTB0032/MontBell-Ultralight-Down-Jacket-Mens.html

UL Down Vest $68.97 - http://www.backcountry.com/store/MTB0016/MontBell-Ultralight-Down-Vest-Mens.html

UL Down Parka $95.97- http://www.backcountry.com/store/MTB0070/MontBell-Ultralight-Down-Parka-Mens.html

To make this deal even sweeter you should be able to get cashback from bing.com (formerly live.com), which could give you another 12.3% off.

Great Deal. Now I am regretting pulling the trigger on UL Down Inner a few weeks ago. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, I ordered one. I also noticed they had a lot of other stuff at similar discounts, like Golite Reeds for $41 etc...

So...

I'm 5'10" (on a good day) and occasionally break 200-lb., with a 43- or 44-inch chest. Most sizing charts (including Backcountry.com's) place me at the bigger end of a Large. I've heard that Mont-bell runs small. Should I get an XL?

Rats. I had pretty much written off Montbell, due to a poor customer-service experience, but this price is tempting me. It's even cheaper than the Patagonia down sweater, which I've been considering.

Dean,

I would get XL. I am 6foot and 185#. MB Inner jacket in Large is just right for me.

They are now only showing up at 20% off. Must have been a short lived discount.

Thanks. Ordered XL.

I'm only seeing 20% off. Thats too bad because at 40% I'd buy one today.

Same here, but looks to be only 20 percent...

40% discount ended Friday night.

Just got my UL Down Inner Jacket, size XL, and it fits me like a glove. Actually, a better metaphor would be "it fits me like it is painted on." Wow. There is No Way that I would fit into a large. Those Japanese sizes sure run small...

I just ordered this jacket. It was $144 last week, dropped down to $130, then $101. But, since I went through Bing.com I got another $25 off. Now it is only $76...almost half off?!

Too bad Bing cashback only works for the US, I got all excited to do some ordering and saw the FAQ...very sad

Rob,
Maybe a friend, this side of the border, might help??
Good luck!
