Hi
Thanks for the ifnormation you provide. It’s great to see an agency site with usefull information. The site is not bad either.
Bought a Filo back in January and I am dissapointed with it. Most of the down has leaked out of the sleeves to leave cold spots around the elbows. Will need replacing for the coming winter.
Cracking jacket!! Very warm. Slight down leakage is this normal?( ocassional bit of down pokes out of jacket?)
Oh, and I should add that even the care label put a smile on my face :o)
Unfortunately my filo had to be returned due to a faulty waist drawcord thingy ( i’ve also had this problem with other more “high profile” manufacturers )- this however was dealt with quickly and professionaly. The jacket was only away for a few days.
Great service from alpkit with a handwritten message on the advice note - always nice to see from an online retailer.
Really nice jacket, as well!
Mine arrived within 24 hours of ordering. Tried it out last weekend on a trip up to Glencoe and very impressed so far.
just got my filo and very happy, orderd a medium but i needed a large if to use as a belay jacket, however some one from the office was so impressed with it they had it off me for there trip to scotland ! so i just orderd another and both arrived to the same high standard
well done chaps ! keep it up
Going to buy a Nuptse but very glad I chose your kit. Excellent price, excellent fit, excellent service. You are setting the standards and I have been recommending you to everybody I know.

Slight down leakage is normal.
As far as the major leaks go this is abnormal but remember down shifts around so will get cold spots. These is where you need to fluff the panels up. Basically if you think about your cushions at home when you keep sitting on them day in day out they start to thin out so you fluff them up to get them fluffy all over. You need to do the same thing with the elbow panel as all the down has been squashed to the sides.
