Filo Reviews

Just taken delivery of my new filo jacket.It’s exactly what i wanted and came within 2 days of ordering.Fantastic!!

This is one amazing jacket. It arrived in double quick time just before Christmas. Came with a hand written thank you note which is a nice touch. Someone had mentioned previously that the jacket didn’t come with toggles so I ordered some and the toggles came already attached to the jacket! Brilliant.

The Jacket itself is amazing. What timing as well.  The temperatures have been sub zero as you all know and to put it to the real test I wore it on my motorbike with a wind chill of -16c. I was fantastically warm and yet not uncomfortable when indoors.

These Alpkit guys are five star! I for one hope they make it through this recession as their products combined with their service are second to none!

We are so impressed with the excellent service received although it comes as no surprise since Alpkit clearly know what they are talking about and have customers’ interests at heart! Having ordered our Filo jackets less than 48 hours ago, we are now proud owners of these awesome snug coats! We’re off to Norway in Feb but are delighted (!) to be able to use them beforehand in these Arctic conditions. It was -12C round the corner in Benson last night so perfect timing. Thank you Alpkit - we shall certainly be recommending you to anyone else after similar kit!

My Filo jacket arrived this morning, and thankgod it did too, it was -6 on my way to work and the heating in my car is broken The fit was perfect, I wanted it a little bigger because when i boulder I throw it on over my big hoody and sometimes even my insulated jacket. So ordered a medium and it was perfect. I’m normally a size 10 and this comes in as a nice loose fit. The colour is stunning (lego blue) and the quality of the jacket seems great, but then i’ve only worn it for 2hours.. lets see how it holds up in the peaks at the weekend!
So far sooooo flipping good, thank you alpkit, fantastic once again!!!

The filo Jacket is great value for money. Build quality is good and they provide good warmth for the weight. However if you’re quite tall like me then you may find it a little too short at the front. I am 6ft 4 and find that the front is so short that it really lets the draft in. The back is several inches longer, the difference between front and back is greater than any other Jacket of this type that I’ve seen. If the design is tweaked at all next year I’d like to see it a couple of inches longer in the front!

I have the older style down jacket and discovered the other day it stuffs into it’s own inner pocket. best of all the pocket is slightly L shaped so makes a great shoulder pillow for travelling. even damps out vibrations from plane windows.
class :o,

or even March 2009!!!!

Well, ordered a filo just after crimbo, and just ordered a sleeping bag today! But, still waiting on the Filo and hopefully not too much longer. But, if it’s like the headtorch and mini rucksack I’ve already got - will be worth the wait. Recommend all to visit the Alpkit stand at the NEC in November. Staff in 2008 were wonderful!!!

It’s fantastic. Super cosy. Just like the sleeping bag I got for my girlfriend!!

WOW i love my filo its GREAATT i now have a few things from alpkit and its true they are the best once again thanks now i am cosy mmmmm
