Filo Reviews

am 15 and spend most of my dosh on outdoors kit.just discovered alpkit and realised that instead of my 3/4 length thermarest and nuptse jacket i could have had a filo jacket,airic mat,AND A -20 BAG FOR THE SAME PRICE. gutted.

Just sent my mate Dave round to you guys to pester you for one of your filo jackets.

He came back with one of your “filo runt” jackets and lots of praise as to how nice you guys and your dog were.

I am now very very toasty. Sooo happy that I am no longer cold.

In terms of comments:
-Fleece lined pockets would be nice.
-Dont think I’d use an optional hood - but how about some alpkit Beanies?
-A slightly water resistant finish would nice.

It’s such a shame your plane crashed and I couldn’t get my grubby mitts on one earlier.

Nice jacket, had it for a few months now. It’s lovely and warm but the rip-stop could be a little more downproof. Having said that it has survived some alcohol induced antics like falling out of a tree and coming of a motorised scateboard. 10/10 for value and 11/10 customer service, well done alpkit lads, keep it up!

Absolutely love my jacket, only one thing i could add, is a little bit of fleece on the inside of the neck by the chin, amazing value for money and very warm, absolutely ecommend to anyone

Am absolutely chuffed. I’ve spent so many hours standing round belaying or spotting when not climbing fantasising about having a down jacket, but fully knowing I could not afford the price tag of pretty much 100% duvets.
My 6.30 am long walk to the train station along the sea front in the mornings was freezing, but became an extension of staying in bed with the filo!
Only minor constructive criticisms are those echoed by most. Perhaps the jacket could be sold for a few quid extra by extending the fleece collar and adding a baffle to the zip, as a portion of heat is lost through this area. I’m nit-picking though. 11/10.

My wife bought ome one for Christmas (after much hint dropping) and I love it. Things I would like to change are, fleece collar lining to extend over the baffle, abit of velcro or a press stud to fix the baffle down in the chin area as it often moves when you turn your head. Fleece lined pockets would be nice but are not essential. Overall I think it’s hard to fault at the price and the customer srevice is superb. Long may you continue. BTW how about an Alpkit Bivi bag, I can’t believe the prices some companies charge ?

my filo is so warm i need to move to a colder climate.
thank you for keeping me warm after surfing with your lovely product.

I bought a Filo Runt from you at the show, and it great, warm, light, comfy I could go on. However the right hand pocket zip has come loose (the zipper off the zip that is) not too muhc of a problem just threaded it back on. and for £35 can’t go wrong. still great product.

Good piece of kit for an excellent price. The jacket is quite short if you prefer a slightly longer cut, but at the price I can live with that.

Yay! It fits! I don’t think I’m that small but everyone who makes outdoor kit thinks I’m tiny, so nothing they make fits. Ever. My Filo Kid is SPOT ON!
I can’t wait to feel the full effects of the jacket in a February Edinburgh wind. If sitting on the shore at Glenelg at 11pm last weekend is anything to go by, I won’t even notice it’s February. I would never have been able to afford this comfort if it wasn’t for Alpkit
Any chance you could make the gilet in the kids sizes too? Could do with one for some Scottish summer days!
