Looking at light weight down jackets for mountain trip in June. This will be for emergency use and most likely stowed in a vehicle at the top of climbs and used in case of grim, cold weather and to stop me freezing on long descents if needed.
I'd been planning on the Alpkit Heiko, which at £85 was about what I was hoping to spend. Alas, now out of stock.
Is something like the Atom worth the extra at over twice the price?
Hadn't considered Decathlon, so will also check out what they have.
Agreed, for the price, it's quite comfortable.
I would just say that is doesn't breathe too well. It can get a little steamy when outside temp is above 6 to 8°c I find.
Under that it's perfect: properly waterproof so far (ahd it for a year now) and quite warm when windy.
