I'm looking for an insulated quilted type layer that would be multi use, mainly as a non-strenuous activity thermal layer (sort of belay stylee) to be mainly used under an outer shell over a mid layer or as an extra layer on top if necessary. This is not intended for cycling by the way, more bird Watching/walking activities.I have decided on a synthetic rather than down and been looking at a paramo Torres Gilet or something like the Patagonia Nonopuff or Montane Prism, Rab Generator style.It needs to be reasonably light & packable. Any real-world users on here that can steer me in the right direction. I am fairly slim build (but unfortunately not now after X.mas) but don't want anything too tight.
There are some Hagloff gilets on sports pursuit at the moment for about £40.
I've ordered one to give it a try.
Seems reasonably priced compared to others I've seen so thought it would be worth a punt at that.
It's not arrived yet so I can't comment on it other than that
I've one of these and they're great.

Good price too.
That's the one on SP - they have black or blue though.
I have a Prism jacket and a Generator gilet. Would recommend either the Prism or the Generator, although the Prism certainly has a more robust outer fabric. I have both in medium and would say I was average build. Can wear either on top of the other. But best with the Generator inside as it is a slighly slimmer fit than the Prism. I don't know for sure but would assume the jacket and gilet variants of them have the same cut/fit.
