    Great video. I bought this today. I wasn't sure but as soon as I tried it, felt so nice. Packs really small. I think the same jacket with synthetic fill does not pack that small and does not feel that nice

      Great I hope you’ll like it! I agree the synthethic insulation has a differnet feel to it and doesn’t compress that much either.

    Love it.
    Actually, I have an S size and just order an M size so that if necessary I can use one over the over the other.
    Find this mode flexible/adaptable to weather than using a single thicker one.

      Great! Not sure if that layering will be effective but give it a try and let me know😀

      I have tried the same with Micro Puff (mistake in sizing but didn’t want to return). It didn’t really work as well as I hoped. Yes it’s warmer but not like two times warmer. That being said, I haven’t used them at the same time while active. How did it go for you?

      Hi. Sizewise, for me wearing the M over the S works perfectly; in terms of weather protection, can't tell yet... where live is not cold enough to test now.
      Bought them mostly because of an upcoming trip to Iceland with trekking included next summer - to be on the safe side without too much weight and able to wear the separetely too.

    WOW absolutely Great job, what do you think about mt500 down jacket?

    • @HungaroExplorer
      @HungaroExplorer  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! The MT500 is a thicker, warmer jacket. Personally I find mor euse of the MT100 then the MT500, so that’s why I never bought one. I have a mountaineering puffy jacket for colder temps and that is when ai use my MT100 as a midlayer.

      69 euros is not the end of the world for that jacket. Check out some other brands prices, so than you will realize that 69 is a great price 😀

      @@HungaroExplorer I worked for the north face and I get that 69euro is dirt cheap for a decent down jacket, but my point is that it has increased in price by 40% in 3 years, I have never seen any other product jump that much in the same period of time.

      Yes, if you out it that way it sounds expensive. In the us it was $80 and now it is $100, regular price which is only 25% raise haha

    How does this compare to the MT500 jacket?

    • @HungaroExplorer
      @HungaroExplorer  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s a good question. I didn’t use the MT500 because I already have a thicker puffy jacket from another brand. It is definitely a warmer, thicker and heavier jacket. It is more of a standalone jacket, while the MT100 can be used as a midlayer too.

    I'm a little disappointed with the jacket to be honest. Even though it's supposed to be 3oz of 800 down, the jacket feels very 'flat' compared other down jacket with the same fill weight (i.e. montbell superior down parka). Not sure if I got a dud, but since the jacket is on sale I cannot return it. Oh well, at least it should work for warmer weather.

    • @HungaroExplorer
      @HungaroExplorer  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      For the price it can’t be beat. Mine onky got flatter after couple years of usage. Now if I compare to the new one I got, the orange one (older one) is way flatter.
      This jacket only keeps you warm on 40s and 50s when it gets colder, you need some other layers under.
