Jeremy Maluf updated his incredible Indefinite Backpack Travel post for 2025. It’s one of my favorite lists of this kind. I almost pulled the trigger on the Montbell jacket. I’m in the market, but the Japanese fit differences gave me pause. Side note: Having AI in a browser is nice when researching such things.

Auto-generated description: A blue jacket is displayed on the Montbell website, alongside a detailed product description and size chart, with additional text on the right discussing garment sizing comparisons between Japanese and Western versions.
