Filo Reviews

recently purchased a filo jacket in gorgeous lego blue! Worn it every day and the colour lifts my spirit every time. The jacket is a great fit and soo-o- cosy, onlt need a t-shirt under it. The long tail is a great extra—no more cold bottom!1 thanks Alpkit!

We have both had the previ0us filo jacket and bashed them to death on mountains. The new one was a real treat when we first got them, snug, better able to stuff into the rucsac and with a hood. They failed when we tried to do up the zips,especially when cold or with gloved or mittened hands. The old one was far better. The extra weight of the old chunky zip is no issue when it comes to working with cold hands- it works. So, on balance, the new one is less than perfect on this vital aspect. No one wants to fumble doing up a zipper in the cold!

The buying process by Steve…
Came upon this jacket by chance..Looking for a down jacket as a Christmas present for Sarah…
Apart from the basic problem of not being able to try the jacket on first, i can honestly say the ordering was a doddle. The online sizing advice is spot on, Sarah is normally a 12 but i ordered a 10 as per the website guidance and it fits a treat. When ordering there is no added delivery charge surprises, and considering it was Christmas week the package arrived the day after next, perfect. Lastly when the package was opened on Christmas day there was a little hand written note wishing Sarah a happy Christmas…a nice personal touch….

The wearing process by Sarah…
The colour was true to the picture on the website. I have worn this jacket on a few occasions but really gave it a work out in Wales the other weekend. A cold and frosty morning photographing the welsh coastline. The jacket was combined with a thin base layer and completely cut the wind out and kept me warm throughout the day.When you consider i really, really, feel the cold i was surprised at how warm i could be. I had tried on various jackets that were over twice the price and found very little difference except the cost. The only slight down side is there was a slight manufacturing fault which was an isolated section of loose stitching on the inside of the jacket. All in all i am thrilled with my Christmas pressie!!!!!!!!!!!

The 2011/2012 Filo down jacket is an excellent step up from the old model. It doesn’t have the weight issue from the previous model the material and zips are good and the inside fabric is super soft.
The scoop back is an excellent feature keeping out the cold from going up your backside…!!
The hood is well filled.

I’m well impressed with my jacket and I would say better than some of the more expensive brands out there Rab/ME watch out there’s a new jacket on the block.
All in all a super jacket for the price.
Around of applause for Alpkit keep up the good work…....

I bought a jacket for both myself and my wife. Excellent service and unbeatable value. My only reservation is the zip. I’d gladly carry the extra grams for a more substantial zip that is easier to do/undo with cold hands. Perhaps some of us will never be satisfied. A first class product nevertheless.

Just tried out my new Filo, Looks good, feels great, nice and warm but no weight, and great service from Alpkit

Great jacket, great service from ALPKIT. I will defo recommend to others. Very lightweight and extremely warm. I love it!

A really good jacket! Light weight, small size if you have to pack it and really, really warm! And the hood is wonderful!
And of course one has to say, that the service from alpkit is excellent! Thank you!

I receieved my Filo last weekend and am loving the jacket. My only disappointment is the weather is not cold enough at the moment and I feel a bit of a fraud wearing it!

got my jacket today very pleased very warm and so light,well done to alpkit brilliant jacket.
