Anybody got a line on any used or discounted montbell alpine line down parka's in medium? I've even watching all the discount places I know of and haven't seen a medium pop ups thanks
Oct 6, 2013 at 8:23 pm #2031392https://www.montbell.us/products/disp.php?cat_id=127&p_id=2301361. $159 for medium in black or green.
Oct 6, 2013 at 8:24 pm #2031393Montbell has some in medium under the web specials for $150
Oct 7, 2013 at 6:50 am #2031459Thanks for all the replies! Now I'm in love with that dark blue, thinking ll hold out for one in a medium
Oct 8, 2013 at 1:09 pm #2031949They don't restock the web specials like normal inventory, it's last year's (or older) models that they are clearing inventory. So basically you won't find a dark blue for another year most likely at that price.

Oct 9, 2013 at 5:35 pm #2032489Finding a deal on a medium outside of MontBell's web specials may be tough. You could post a WTB in the Gear Swap. Note, however, that the 2013 Fall line has not been out very long, and the fabric is 20d instead of 30d like past years (lighter by ~1.4oz).
Oct 9, 2013 at 5:44 pm #2032492FYI The price is down to $119.40 via the link above now.
Oct 9, 2013 at 6:43 pm #2032512Good idea! I think I will do that. Do you think a large would be to big for a male 6'1" 150lbs?
Oct 9, 2013 at 8:18 pm #2032539I am 5' 11" and 160 lbs and the medium fits (barely). Large should be perfect on you.
Oct 9, 2013 at 8:26 pm #2032542Montbell sizes run a little small and are athletic. Im 5'11" 160lb and have an alpine light in medium the waist is a little short so like when I raise my arms it comes up, but I can deal with it. I have a tachyon in large and the fit is perfect.
Oct 9, 2013 at 9:32 pm #2032564Just get it in black and be done with it already.
