Unfortunately, it’s for sale, along with the rest. It’s 3xl, and I’ve lost 125#. So retooling my entire system!

Dang man if it was my size I'd snatch it.
Congrats on that, that's a hell of an achievement!

Add a hood to the Mountain jacket and you have winner, winner- chicken dinner

I have the discontinued Timberline jacket. I think it is as close to the Mountain Jacket with a hood I have seen, and I love it. That with a LW crew and the HW Hoody are one of my favorite combos.

I have 2 jetstreams. Great jackets but for backpacking they are too heavy. I can do a lot more with less weight with the set up above or mixing in a Dewpoint and/or pufffy.

I’m in a similar boat as I already own a Jetstream and a core lightweight hoody, both of which I love. I tried a Down Lite Jacket but it didn’t work well with the Jetstream. I think I’ve settled on the Ambient jacket as a midlayer that could be used with or without the other pieces for a well rounded system. I’d suggest you think about the Ambient/Jetstream combo as well.

Kelvin down (lightest puffy) may be an option, if you can find a used one…
