matt do you mean the Rab Photon?

Have just bought this one and it is magic. Went for a ride and ended up having to open the zip almost all the way down, it got so warm the other day. Think the temp was around 3deg!! Stuffs into the inside pocket but could go smaller in a proper stuff sack.
Size wise I take either a lrg/xlrg and the large fits like a glove. Long in the back which I need being 6ft and long in the sleeves making it good for biking and other sports where you may need to stretch out.
Staff in the shop had all ordered one when they saw the reduction, had been ordered in for me at rrp!!! They seem to wear quite a bit of Rab stuff in the shop I visit. At that price I was`nt fussy about colour, not quite as pink as it looks in the pic 🙄
I also had £50 of vouchers to spend so it cost me £20 😆 😆

Me to, but have been told I have enough jackets 😉
Montane stuff is one of the best fits for my body shape.
There is a shop I visit in Ambleside that has ex warehouse stuff in occasionally at reasonable prices

i meant to add - there was an offer on ratrace.com with 40% all montane kit - use code MON40. Was only meant to be yesterday only afaik - but i just snagged a jacket using that code earlier this morning.
