CRITERION ‘ACTIVITY’ DOWN JACKETS

“The price is exceptional for what you get, as this is an 850 fill power down with a Pertex Quantum shell, which makes it very lightweight.”

“Many winter walkers need a cosy layer they can stash in their packs and throw on as needed, and this jacket fulfils that brief well. It uses 850+ fill power down so it is reasonably warm, but it is also exceptionaly light as this is combined with a Pertex Quantum shell. The hood has drawcords, and you get two zipped pockets.”

“It feels very comfortable. Down does provide good insulation without obvious cold spots and it is certainly suitable for general winter use by walkers and campers.”

“Specialist kit for the keener mountaingoer. Exceptionally light and well-priced.”

“The jacket is lovely to wear, being very soft and flexible. It’s very warm for the weight too. I’ve worn it standing around on windy days with sub-zero temperatures and stayed comfortable “

“Overall I found the Activity Jacket excellent. I think it would be an especially good choice for backpacking due to the low weight and packed bulk. I’d use it as an autumn to spring jacket but those who run cold might like it for cool evenings in summer too. “

“It’s an ideal choice for cold, dry, alpine-style conditions where you’re counting the grammes.”

“Light, small-packing, top-notch fabrics, high fill-power Polish goose down, good warmth to weight ratio, packs into inside pocket, helmet compatible, adjustable hood.”

“There’s no doubting the quality of the Pertex lightweight fabrics and 850+ fill power Polish goose down and we can’t fault packability or warmth to weight ratio. The jacket has a silky light and warm feel to it.”

“The Activity Jacket is a souped-up, old school down lightweight”
