I have an older Keela Belay that I got off eBay years ago, it's my daily dog walking jacket for the colder months and my "must have" whenever we go camping. It's bomb proof and so warm. I use it far more than my Buffalo smock as it just seems to work better. I'm in northern Scotland and it's perfect for our dreich cool days.

Have one from my time in fire service, I think its great, nice and warm and lightweight. Predominately used for dog walking now.

I'm slightly south and east of swavis

Also have one for fire service stuff, I’d say it’s a bit warm and a bit fragile for bikes. Keela’s a great company though and they probably have a better alternative in their range.

I have one, worn to death.  I have a Rab feather (thin) coat - the keela wipes the floor with it

Needlesports have an XL Nanopuff on sale for £95 at the moment. Bit big in the body for my tastes compared to say the Mountain Equipment XL cut, but might be of use:

I had the multicam military version. Was my goto warm kit, I think there are some differences with the civvy version but if the insulation is the same, I'd go for it. 

I still use my military one, absolutely banging for marshalling races and not an ick like a dry robe.
