As usual great service from Alpkit and a great product, high quality gear at a more that reasonable price.

We tend to find that you can wear one size smaller in the Filet than the Filo jacket so if you are an XXL Filo, then you should find that an XL Filet will fit nicely over your base layers.  If you wish to wear the Filet over heavy mid-layers then you would need the same size as your Filo.  We do hope to expand our ranges as we grow so hopefully we will be able to have a bigger range of clothing sizes in the future.

These look fantastic, but is there any chance that they will come in XXL like the Filet jacket?

Are these kits that you sew yourself?  I find nothing that says that they are not repmade, but they are called kits.

I adore it! Bought as a pre-race/post-race bit of warm kit, after a very chilly experience before the Dovedale Dash this year. Wore it before a race in freezing fog this weekend, and I was so toasty! I’d looked at similar products that were close to £100, but this is excellent value and fab quality.

I have had the Filet for over two years now and continue to use it regularly on camping trips, outdoor concerts and just generally when the weather gets a little chilly. 

I am very impressed with the quality of finish and the superb warmth to weight ratio, this is always with me when I go backpacking and as well as keeping me very snug at campsites it also makes an excellent pillow when placed inside a wee roll top drybag.

I hope that they come back in stock again soon so that others can benefit from this neat product.

Ordered Monday, arrived Tuesday.  Seems like a great product for the price - like all Alpkit gear.  Will be keen to give it a proper try in Snowdonia later this month!

Placed my order on Thursday morning, arrived Saturday morning, even with a Postal strike on the friday.  Wore it around the house and damn near fainted i was so hot!  Another great piece of kit, keep it up.
Cheers
