Ultralight Down Jackets

The Lukes jacket needs to be removed from list. The company is no longer in business due to bad business practices and his site has been shut down. His products are no longer available.

I was about to say the same thing. I can't believe it has so many votes considering everything that has gone down.
Why are people voting for Lukes UL- he's not even in business anymore! Also, more people need to vote for Montbell!!!!
Yeah I read Luke has a drug addiction and was taking money to fund his habit. His website is now shutdown and he should be removed from this survey.
First off a recommendation, I have a Borah Gear down jacket and it rocks. With a half oz of overstuff in size L, it comes in under 6oz. Warm and toasty even for shoulder season backpacking in the Cascades and Sierra's. Great customer service too - I ordered a size M at first which ended up being a little small, and they exchanged for a better fitting jacket with timely shipping and great communication. I have a Borah Gear tarp as well which is spectacularly lightweight and durable.
Secondly, Luke's Ultralite is not a trustworthy cottage manufacturer. I ordered a rain shell from them and in the end, had to retrieve my money from PayPal, who I believe refuses to manage their account at this point given so many claims against them. No communication from LUL about their production setbacks, no refund from them, and in the end it was pretty clear they were either running a scam or too disorganized to run a business effectively. Buyer beware!
