While Montbell has a great array of ultralight down jackets, the most utilitarian for its weight, in my opinion at least, is the Hooded Flash from Western Mountaineering. The keys are its hand warmer insulated front pockets and that hood. They come in different colors for women and I'd reccomend something bright that will contrast with various terrain so that you can use it to make yourself visible from the air,  just in case.
Gourmet.

I can’t remember how I first learned about the list - maybe the blog Halfway Anywhere. 

I don’t mind asking lots of questions, so I put myself out there. I was eager to learn anything I could about hiking, and the unfolding awareness of trail culture was like finding Narnia. Those first few months were dreamy. :D

Back then there was a lot of ambient conversation. Kind of like a group email version of hikers sitting outside Mount Laguna Store. It was fun to follow along. 

Not sure why there’s less traffic but it seems like several cool pieces of hiker trash are still listening and willing to weigh in! 

Lord willing, I am planning to do a section of the Sierra next year - just got my bear can in! 

Hey I do have a question for those whom I haven’t lost. 

My favorite piece of gear is my Patagonia nano puff. Absolutely love that thing. Super warm. We camped on San Jac last year overlooking the Coachella Valley. Just about froze my butt off. I had on all of my layers and was extremely uncomfortable all night. So I know that I could use a slightly heavier coat for situations like that, still light weight as possible. Does anyone have a recommendation? I’ve heard trusted hikers recommend Mont Bell UL jackets. Thoughts?
