I recently got a Jack Wolfskin Argo jacket to serve as a summer-weight insulating layer around camp. It seems fine (albeit a bit large in the torso for me) but then I noticed that the MontBell U.L. Down Parka is only slightly heavier and sells for about the same as I paid for the Argo. Anyone able to offer a comparison of these two jackets?
Thanks,

It's hard to comment on functionality (warmth) without the fill weight of the Argo jacket.
Montbell uses a 15 Denier fabric for the shell, while Jackskin utilizes the lighter 7 Denier fabric.
They're very similar, though it's difficult to say if you'd get more warmth/weight with the Montbell.
Yeah, there are so many variables that I think the only useful comparison would be from someone who has actually tried both of them.

I'm also interested in how the Ex Light Anorak compares. I'm tempted by the anorak but hoping to find it at a discount since full price is substantially more than the others.
