- The Fitzroy is warm, light and almost unaffected by wind, rain and snow this is critical all-weather insulation for climbers and mountaineers.
The Citadel is Mountain Equipment's iconic belay jacket, providing uncompromising insulation and protection in the most challenging conditions. - Спорт
And finally the Citadel has arrived in Norway. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my hands on the Citadel for over a year now, and now it’s here. Looking so much forward to testing it in the Norwegian winter 🥶 ❄️🇳🇴
Fingers crossed you get a nice, cold and long season to test it in too!
This Citadel model is much bigger than previous version in the same size. I personally don't like it .
I tried size S and it looks like L or XL
@@aakoch6062 I usually wear a size Large, but I bought a size Medium for the Citadel. I personally like it. It’s the warmest synthetic jacket I own.
@@p.richter9592 Yes I use S in Citadel but MEquipment don't produce XS ,so in my case size S is way to big.
I still use old version but is falling apart, Best jacket I ever had.
I tried find new old model , can't find it , I could pay extra to get it
How does the fitzroy/alpamayo and Citadel compare to the ME trango or Kryos in terms of warmth?
Would it not also be useful to show the pack size?
I'm inclined to agree, and in retrospect it seems pretty obvious. That said, the information you want is within our review on site, which has this and a whole lot more detail regarding how it performs in real life use. Here's a link: www.ukclimbing.com/gear/clothing/synthetic_insulation/mountain_equipment_alpamayo_and_fitzroy_jackets-14052
The jackets have hoods, lets see them properly on and cinched down??
For a more detailed analysis here’s a link to our long term test: www.ukclimbing.com/gear/clothing/synthetic_insulation/mountain_equipment_alpamayo_and_fitzroy_jackets-14052
Can you compare citadel or fitzroy with RAB generator alpine. I have RAB photon pro and its too cold for me. Searching for warmer one
Can you give me a hand?
We wrote the following head-to-head of the ME Citadel vs. BD Belay Parka, which might be of interest, as they're roughly equivalent in terms of warmth. We've never done a direct comparison of the Fitzroy/Generator Alpine, but we have reviewed each individually, and there is mention of a few specific details within the Generator Alpine review (i.e. difference in fill/weight). Here's the links to the various reviews referenced:

I am close to choose ME citadel, but no one sells in Lithuania. Online in euros also not so much. Because of brexit cant not send from UK :(
If it's any consolation, not a single member of staff at UKC voted for Brexit. It's been bad on so many levels that I think we're all in shock that a) it happened and b) that nobody has turned around and said "hey, this is shit - maybe we should do something about it". Hopefully the situation will change at some point, but I can't see it changing anytime soon unfortunately.
Maybe you could compare citadel with ME Kryos. I have a oportunity to buy Kryos, but it is down insulated
Still confused. Which one is better for warmth then?
The Citadel is the warmer of the two (by far)
@@ukclimbingofficial Thanks!
