Maybe Diddy but for someone who may be thrutching up a very damp chimney and having to belay in winter conditions - it might make a lot of sense then. Had a good fondle a while back and it seems to me to be a very specific bit of kit for very specific needs. Climbers would value the durability and the 'perceived' lightness.

See no reason for me to ever wear it under a shell to be honest - but gotta say that they should have gone the whole hog and used a better quality down to keep the weight lower.
Hood looks proper which is why I liked it in the shop.

Special down? Is it not just treated with something like Nikwax Downproof? 300ml from GO at £6.52.

I got a Russian Bask duvet a good few years back & that came with down that was pre-proofed according to the swing-tag - with Nikwax (think it was TX10 then)

I dunno. Hopefully something a bit more permanent like ion mask instead? Or seemingly not.... Oh well!

It seems a good idea, but I'd still be worrying about getting it wet. However, it could be good for when you're caught out unexpected by a short shower, or when its not raining, but feels damp in the air.

It's generally aimed at climbers however... most climbers won't go out if there is a smidgeon of dampness to the rock, let alone rain. So I'm guessing it's aimed more at the alpine, fast and light brigade. Report back when I've used it in Scotland next month.
