Filo

A lightweight down jacket that uses a stitch-through construction, for warmth without the weight penalty. Filo is available in 5 colours and 8 sizes, a great choice for boys and girls who don't want to look like clones of each other.

High fill power = superior insulation

Our Filo duvet jackets are stuffed with 90/10 700+ (European scale) fill power white goose down. For more information about down see our down information page. The four panel construction should fit the body better which means less cold air circulating around your body as you move around.

Design

All Filo duvets use a stitch-through construction, for warmth without the weight penalty. This is a proven method of stitching together down jackets. A fleecy lining on the collar will keep your neck extra cosy warm. The shell material is constructed from Micro Ripstop Nylon with a DWR coating. It is soft, compressible and quiet.

The jackets do zip together but we cannot imagine why you would want to do so. Two lined hand warmer pockets on the outside. And an interior pocket is a convenient place to store camera batteries and anything else that needs to stay warm.

Ladies Cut

Wider hips, nipped in at the waist and slightly roomier cut at the chest. The measurements in the size chart on the shop page show the actual measurements from the garment. This way you can measure something you may already have and take a pretty good guesstimate. The jackets will come in three sizes; S, M, L. This should cover sizes from 10 up to 16 but as there are only three sizes it difficult for us to say what the UK dress size is. The best advice we can give is ignore the labels, measure a jacket you fit in and find the closest match.

The Alpkit Fit

Don't choose a Medium jacket just because the last tshirt you purchased from Ted Baker was a medium. Some people prefer a tight jacket, some baggy, some like to wear it over another jacket, some like to wear it next to the skin. So please do not be offended if you come out as a large when you thought you were a medium!

Please remember that these are technical garments, they are designed to function with the rest of your clothing system. For these particular garments we are assuming you will be wearing a baselayer and a fleece. So if you are a sized 40 chest we recommend you choose a Alpkit Medium for a snug fit over a baselayer and fleece. If you know you are going to be slinging it over your shell as a belay jacket you should take a size up.
