Any considerations for a down suit??

My girlfriend bought me one of these to replace my old taped-up tnf jacket.  Very warm, very light excellent hood, very impressed.  Bought her one yesterday to replace my old taped-up tnf jacket! Will be buying 2 sleeping bags at week-end too!  Keep it up - superb kit.

Customer service excellent. I dealt with them prior to purchase asking more questions about the jacket sizing. The lady on the phone was very helpful and pleasant throughout. Delivery prompt as I expected. The jacket is quality and is the perfect size. I am considering buying another as a spare. Many Thanks and keep up the good quality and service.

Just back from a trip to Scotland where my new Filo kept me nice and warm while cooking dinner in the porch of my tent as the snow fell. Great jacket. The only suggestion I have is to change the velcro on the cuffs - it is so stiff that the end doesn’t attach to the “fluffy” side and the little hooks snag on other things like the jacket and my sleeping bag.

This isn’t the first thing I’ve bought from you and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Cheers!

My Filo jacket arrived only 20hrs after placing the order!
Once again a superb value for money product and fantastic service.
Many thanks and keep up the good work!

I forgot to mention that I bought an Airlok XT bag (size small) to go with it and that the Filo fits in it perfectly. An additional £3.50 for a bag that is guaranteed to keep your down jacket dry is a bargain really.

I’ve had this jacket for around 3 weeks now and I am really happy with it so far. Nice and light, toasty, and very good value for money.
The only thing I could fault the jacket on is the stiffness of the velcro cuffs, they keep on attaching themselves to the insides of the hand warmer pockets! The extended back length seems a bit too extended for my liking, in fairness I think the jacket could do without it.
On the whole, however, I am very impressed with the quality and I have therefore decided to also invest in a Pipedream 600. Keep up the good work!
