I just bought a Montane Anti-Freeze Jacket (800+ fill 93%down 7% feather) from Outdoor Life at Novena Sq. Doesn't have hood. Apparently the price is at a 50% discount, now about $190. Seems pretty good - going to use it for my trip to Tokyo/Osaka/Sapporo in January. Will I still need another outer layer?

The North Star Jacket looks good too.

That is a good buy!

If going to Tokyo/Osaka/Sapporo in Jan, you will still need a full wool longjohn, then LS fleece/polartec, then the Montane Anti-Freeze Jacket.

You will also need beanie, scarf, waterproof glove (throw snowball), waterproof sock and a good pair of hiking boot (can buy a pair ice cleats/spike from convenience store when reach Sapporo if need to walk/run on ice).

Yes, 1 grade higher than Anti-Freeze. If they got 50% offer, also a good buy.

Someone posted here that he bought a Montane Anti-Freeze jacket from Outdoor Life at 50% off, at $190. Is a 800 fill down compare to 700 in TNF Nuptse.

Personally i dont like down filled jacket, i already big in size, wearing a 700/800 fill down jacket will make me look like a ball. I prefer layering instead... full longjohn if below zero, light fleece/polartec, windproof jacket, waterproof jacket/rainwear.

According to Montane website, the Anti Freeze is 410g in size medium and is 800 fill down.

TNF Nuptse is 782g, according to some reviews and is only a 700 fill down.

800 fill down is more warmth compare to 700.

Super Lightweight and think Jacket. Inflatable to various thickness to suit weather.

Waterproof (airproof).

http://gidelsg.wordpress.com/new-arrival/50028-air-dawn-jacket-s128/

1. Regulating the temperature
AIRDOWN clothing is suitable for all weather, from -30 degrees C to 15 degrees C. You can adjust the air trapped inside the clothing to suit your surrounding temperature. When cold, inflat the clothings to improve insulation and when warm, deflat it for just wind-rpoof purposes.

2. Waterproof / windproof / breathable fabric
AIRDOWN clothes fabrics are waterproof, preventing rainwater infiltration into the body. Thus it can be used as a raincoat. The breathable feature allow the body to maintain the temperature, so that the body heat can be excreted and not feel hot. The wearer will feel dry and comfortable.

3. Beyond the warmth of lightweight down clothing features
Inflatable air down over 95% of the clothes will be equivalent to 12oz degree of down warm clothing.

4. To save drying cleaning costs
Most of the winter clothes must be dried washed, but our AIRDOWN clothing can be washed by hand, in addition to easy-to-clean. Thus, dry-cleaning costs can be saved.
