Montbell Chameece Cardigan

Hello. I am high off sugar and decided to completely rewrite this ~gear~ post. Shit I just dropped a piece of cake on my keyboard. Icing sits on “DX.” rtfgd That’s from me wiping it.

Anyway, I want to tell you guys about my montbell chameece micro-fleece cardigan, which is now a staple in my camping uniform due to its lightweight yet insulating material. It’s perfect for backpacking, as it’s a light layer that is incredibly warm and breathable. Subtle flex but I got this at the montbell store in Tokyo and I almost left without it. I was in dire need of a layer for the Japanese summer, which is incredibly hot and humid in the day and cool in the evenings. I could easily just throw this in my bag and forget about it till I needed it hours later. For hiking/camping trips this is beautifully layered with my montbell puffer. I like the yellow and green colors together and it keeps me so cozy. My only critique is that it’s definitely Japanese sizing, so it runs pretty small. It’s nice if you’re petite but it does fit weirdly around my chest, but whatever. It works and I use it on basically every trip.

You can see it in frame in a lot of the Japan pics. I just had it hooked onto my bag.
