Hi I'm looking to buy an insulated (down) gilet but don't like the prices of The North Face and Rab ones etc. My budget's pretty much £70 because that's how much the Alpkit one costs that I'll buy if there's no luck here

Are they any good? Just it doesn't say what quality/loft capacity the down is...

You didn't say what type of down vest you wanted. You'll have to go and see one as they don't publish such trivia for an all purpose, light, unbeatable value top.

I have a jacket. I think it's great for my purpose.

Oh right cheers, I'll certainly consider it for £40!

Thanks Ed, recieved you PM and will sort things out over the weekend. Just for the record, I must agree with Parky about the uniglo jacket I have one and I can not fault it, it is a jolly good jacket indeed.

If you want a cheap down gilet, have a look at Landsend.

 If you want for underneath waterproofs or tent wear, warm and pack small. I've packed one into a 4l drybag.

 From US so buttons, etc, on 'wrong' side.
