Filo Reviews

Bravo, finally a jacket that does exactly what it says on the tin. Had mine for a month and have worn it everyday, previously had north face and rab, yours is far warmer. Please Please consider making it in a 3/4 length version for us ladies, so we can be just as warm in our suits on work days, as we are on the hills?

Got 1 day after I ordered, execellent jacket, if anything to warm on first outing. Walking dog at -2c, I had to pull zip down to @ 1/3. I do run ‘hot’ though.
I can’t wait for lower temps. to give a good test.

Filo Jacket in Chilli just arrived.  Wearing it already.  Easy ordering, Good Price, Quick Delivery and Brilliant Jacket.
Thanks Alpkit!

A small squishy package has just arrived at my office and, Lo, it is a lovely new ice blue down jacket. Took no more than a day to get from Derbyshire to Cardiff, well done. I shall test it on Pen-y-fan in the snow tomorrow. Thank you Alpkit.

A good one, at the first sight it appeared to be very poor and very light,  I am wearing it now at -13..-24 °C humidity 70-90%, and it keeps me in warm, I am very satisfied with it.

Seriously Alpkit, good effort! Ordered my new filo 11am yesterday, by midday today, I’m wearing it!
Now for the jacket. I’ve got a small jacket and I definitely fall into that category too at 5’ 5”. Not too ample fit, just right to get a small fleece underneath. Fleece pockets are a nice touch too. I’ve got it in Lego blue, great colour. Would recommend this jacket to anyone who wants a good value down jacket; looking forward to some sub zero weather now!

Ordered my Filo late sat night,had a email monday to say Filo was on way, came tuesday, am very pleased with the delivery and been informed were order was. Was a great fit, tested it out thursday on walk up to victoria cave, sat in there having a brew while snow came down, very warm with only a base layer underneath, this is a great jacket, just as good as some of the more expensive makes, THANK YOU ALPKIT for such a great product. Will be using you again and telling all my friends about you.

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!

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!!!!!!!!!!!
