I’m looking for a UL winter jacket. It seems most recommendations are for the Montbell UL Thermawrap Jacket or Parka. Can anyone comment on this jacket? Does it come with a stuff sack? Comparisons with the Montbell Thermawraps?

Integral Designs M’s Fraction Jacket – anyone?

The fraction jacket looks just like the thermawrap parka. it has less insulation (60g vs 80g), weighs the same per size give or take half an ounce, and has a chest pocket. it looks to be a solid jacket, just a bit cooler than the therawrap parka. i would highly recommend a parka vs. jacket whatever you choose.
Kent,
I doubt that jacket comes with a stuff sack. The thermawrap parka will be your best bet for warmth to weight ratio. I bet you can find one on sale too.
Recently bought one from campsaver.com. Yes it does include a stuff sack.

Just received my MB thermawrap jacket from Campsaver also! Paid $119 for it. Haven't used it on any overnight trips yet, but am very happy with its performance so far. It's actually pretty warm for the weight. I went with the jacket vs. the parka because it is a little more versatile. I think this could be a great layering piece, or just fine on its own in warmer conditions. Besides if it's cold you can just wear a balaclava with it.
