They are down to £99 at the moment. Was thinking about the lighter filoment one, but wondering if anyone has experience of pone of these?
My Mrs has just bought her 2nd Filo (the first one wore out after about 6 or 7 years/ got ripped badly). They are very good value and seem well made.
Had mine for 7 or 8 years, brilliant jacket.
Get a dark one, my orange one is looking a little grubby now
Got one. As above. and very warm. Makes me look a bit like a michelin man but I dont mind. Would absolutely recommend
Yes, both my wife and I have one (Filo). Perfectly fine, not sure of the effective temperature rating but have used it down to -15C. A bit bulky if you need to pack it down but that's the only real downside. I've had it five years, maybe a bit more, not had much down escape just a feather here and there.
Edit: Check the sizing, they used to recommend getting slightly smaller but there was a comment about the latest batches coming up small.
Love my older one.
Would definitely have another.
At £99 they're very good value and great jackets, I'm on my second one now. But because of this thread have just ordered my third one!
I've had one for about 5 years. Great jacket. Very warm and it gets washed regularly without causing any issues with the down.
I really like the bit that covers your backside, really helps you stay warm.
My Mrs has one from when they were on special. Loves it and uses it daily, I'll probably have one for myself if they appear cheap.
Came on to say ours have been great - having seen the price MrsMC is about to order another!
I have no need for another down jacket, I’ve got three ultralight down jackets and a NF Nuptse, but at £99, that’s pretty irresistible!
It's hard to see past the Filo, even at the standard price, for use in this country. I'd struggle to justify getting the [url= https://www.phdesigns.co.uk/yukon-down-jacket ]equivalent temp rated PHD jacket[/url] for instance unless I was going to be spending a lot of time in those sort of temperatures.
If everyone is going on about how great their 5 year old ones are...
Do we know if they're still made to the same standard?
I’ve got a Filo and Filoment. The filo is certainly warm - I’ve used it in multiple trips to North American cities in the winter and other similar latitudes, plus standing next to freezing rugby/football pitches in the winter. It’s too warm for walking etc unless it’s damn cold. I use the filoment much more.
I like mine. However do bear in mind that its only of a stitched through construction like many of the light modern ones. This means that at the stitching the insulation is thin to minimal. Not a problem in most cases but not as warm as a decent box construction one. Not up on modern versions, I'm thinking of an old Mountain Equipment Redline etc.
Red, or black...?
Hmmmm.
Mrs B and I both have them. Great. Only issue are the zips catching on the material at the sides and sticking.
It feels warmer than my 20 year old NF 600 fill jacket....
