Filo Reviews

Ah! Such a decision, going away with my university course in Janurary and need a down jacket, do I buy a Filo now or wait for the Fantom!?

This jacket is amazing. Very warm and comfortable.Also fits perfectly.Ordered it on sunday night and it arrived tuesday morning. Thanks very much all at Alpkit.

OH MY WORD! just got a filo to replace an ME dewline thats too big for me.. this Filo has got a ridiculous amount of down in it! so much more than my old jacket - its stupidly warm. Just looked and the filo has 300g of 650+ down as opposed to the dewline with only ~200g of 600+… how do you guys do it? its half the price of the dewline (although that was waterproof fabric). Thanks ALPkit - love the filo, its wot kit oughta be - cheap, good and looks the part. Think you’re well on the way to cult status! keep it up. p.s. i’d love a pair of carbonlite poles if you ever make any more.. hint hint.

Cracking! I just got my filo through the post, and i have to say it looks brilliant (housemates are all v jealous!). It’s supposed to be my Christmas present from my rents, but like hell it’s not going to get worn for a whole month!
Ten out of ten for customer service too, a great breath of fresh air for climbing gear, keep up the great work!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 ?

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.
