Don't know that jacket,

If you are looking for a warm down jacket, with removable hood, I can recommend the Alpkit Filo. Not the smallist packing wise, but for the price, (£95), good build quality, lofts very well and warm. I've down jackets at twice or more the cost, that I don't find as warm.

 First time I used the Filo, out walking dog, at -2c, I was far to warm and had to open zip nearly to bottom of jacket to get comfortable.

Then I do run 'hot', but is still a warm and cheap jacket.

Why not just get a North Star but in a different colour; other than that Huskyman's shout of an Alpkit Filo is a good one.

Rab emdurance Infinity £130 at Cotswolds at mo instead of the £220 price tag.
I have one and used it in the Lakes two weeks ago and it was freezing nights and it did me well around camp.shorter cut tho.

Field and Trek have the Montane North Star jacket selling at £159.99 on their website.If you are a Discount Card holder at Go Outdoors,they will do a price match less 10 per cent which brings it down to £144.00. Seems a very good price to me.

Alpkit gear is very good but I'd be inclined to go for the North Star.

Nah, the North Star has the funky hood for only a few quid more.

Sorry this won't help, but I can't help but think of the Golf advert that ends with "why drive something like a Golf, when you can drive a Golf"
