    I was just looking at that myself. I already have a very warm/bulky Keela Belay jacket, maybe the Alpkit would be good as a lighter option for summer.
    How does it compare to something like the Montane Prism?

    At 80g/m2 weight it’s fairly warm, but not boiling warm. Lighter synthetic jackets usually around 40-60g/m2, so this is warmer. Warmer wintery ones more like 100g/m2 or more

    That’s doesn’t really help you does it? It’ll be warmer than a prism, but is hasn’t got a hood

    Just ordered one, got to be worth a look at £50- I’m quite impressed by MrsSalmon’s Filo. Bit surprised by the lack of reviews around for them though, I wonder if the original price was a bit too close to what you sometimes see similar things from the big names for?

    Any-one have views on fit and sizing?

    If you’ve bought one, which did you go for?

    Looks great. I actually think the Prism is a bit too light – doesn’t really add much cosiness unless you’re working quite hard.

    Mine’s just arrived. Looks like a good bit of kit, weight seems about right for a very packable bit of insulation and it seems as well put together as my stuff from the bigger boys. I think I might be sending it back though as the fit isn’t great for me. Arms are only just long enough, but there’s loads of extra room at the front and the hem is quite loose, with no drawcord. Shame because it looks like a winner if it fits you!
