    Nicely read. My son has one of these, I pretty much had to peel it off him as he wouldn’t take it off he loved it that much.

      @@itsallrobbish it’s a good jacket, it’s very warm but the fact it’s lightweight make a real difference in terms of getting it in a backpack!

      Thanks Simon, yeah it’s definitely premium. I have their downpour plus jacket which has these pit zips which are good. All quite expensive though

    Good review mate, I will be looking for a good quality lightweight down jacket for the Swiss Alps next summer, this could be the one ☝️ I will definitely check it out ATB Mark & Simon 👍

      @@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors thanks guys, still got you in mind for a camp over winter perhaps in Wales? It’s been a good jacket, being Rab it’s on the premium side of things but just thought I’d review it as had it a while. I saw the solo sumiteer guy using it so that’s what made me get it.

    Layer it with a good fleece and it can handle quite cold weather.
