Filet Reviews

Hey guys, I just wanted to say that this Filet vest is just perfect! Very delight, pretty warm and what was the most important thing for me classical, lo-fi but nevertheless a total eye-catcher. I get cold very easy but with this vest I am out of trouble in spring and autumn. The alpkit shop is amazingly personal and friendly by the way. Rare seen for an internet-shop if you ask me. THANKS A LOT!

In a word, delighted. Great fit, workmanship and materials compare very favourably with leading brand equivalents I’ve tried on. A word on size, I’m 5’10”, fairly slim build, usually wear a medium. Ordered a small and found it too big to wear over anything but a pile of other gear. Swapped for an XS and fits great over anything from a T-shirt to 3 layers with a soft-shell.

Realy great Gilet, very warm and the attention to detail in the construction is 1st class.
coupled with Alpkits great customer care you cant go wrong!

ordered on Friday got my fillet on Monday, unfortunately this crazy warm weather is playing havoc with my being able to wear it yet. tried it on and more than happy with the fit and feel,
great service and “I’ve got my keep warm through winter game sorted” bring on the frost!? thanks!

Awesome delivery and service as always.  Ordered 11am Tuesday arrived Wednesday 730am.Already had a filet for over a year and it is excellent, not a single feather lost.  The only problem was getting it off my wife, so bit the bullet and ordered another one.  These are very well made and unbelievable value.  Just make sure you get one for your other half or you will never get chance to wear it.  Also got two filo’s for the same reason.  Had mine for three years and still looks brand new despite wearing it everyday from November to March and used on every camping trip.  Keep up the great work.

Excellent!!!!  Arrived today and I only ordered it a few days ago.  Fits really well and is super warm.  Just need to keep it away from my girlfriend’s clutches as I know she will want it for herself.  Great communication and service.  I have recommended Alpkit to all my friends.

great bit kit my mother(88 years young) loves it to bits,orderd on tuesday afternoon arrived wensday morning fantastick service

What a great bit of kit. I’d been thinking about getting one of these months ago - and now wish I had. Ordered Saturday night and it arrived Tuesday morning, no complaints there. Not had a real chance to test it due to current heatwave but does feel good. Superlight and comfortable, followed sizing advice and it fits perfectly. One minor complaint the care label on the inside pocket has been badly stitched but if I have any problems with it I am certain Alpkit will sort it bearing in mind their reputed high level of customer service.

Loose the Alkpit toggle things on the zips of the filet. Use the money saved by improving the main/pocket zips, i.e larger and easier to zip in the dark etc nylon/recycled would be better? The main zip also kicks out on the waist? Got a good example on a circa 87 mountain equipment lite line. Oh and that pocket lining Having said that I think its a very good down vest.

Cheers

Brilliant bit of kit! Very quick delivery and sizing is perfect (followed your advice and got a size smaller than normal).
