When Trail magazine reviewed the Alpkit Filo Down Jacket back in February 2011's issue, it came out very well indeed.
Not only did it offer everything a down jacket should, but it did it at such an incredibly reasonable price that it was awarded the 'Best Value' accolade in a head to head test with other jackets (click HERE to see the review online).
Well, there's some good news. The Alpkit Filo Down Jacket is still available and still brilliant value. What's more, and this really is impressive, updates for the 2011/2012 winter season see the Filo being made even lighter and even more compressible. This plus some other tweaks and adjustments means the current incarnation is even better value than it was in February 2011!
Because of the combination of superb performance and great value, Alpkit gear tends to fly off their shelves, so this year they've stocked up on Filos to make sure there's enough to go round. This doesn't mean you can sit on your laurels though. Oh no - these are still likely to be in huge demand so could well sell out before the winter is over.
They are available in a range of colours and in both men's and women's fit, so if you want to make sure you get the size you need in the colour you want, head on over to www.alpkit.com/down-clothing now and check them out!
Plus, Alpkit's incredibly popular Pipedream sleeping bags are due in this month and are currently available on pre-order. The Pipedream 800 is reviewed in the current March issue of Trail magazine where it won the 'Best Lightweight Down Bag' title.
The Pipedream range consists of three models; the 400, 600 and 800 bags, with each model using high quality 95/5 750+ fill power Chinese white goose down. The bags offer lower comfort temperature ratings of -3, -10 and -17 deg C respectively, providing options for all potential adventures including Alpinisim, adventure racing, lightweight trekking, sea kayaking, and cycle touring.
Like the Filo jackets, the Pipedream down bags are incredible value and likely to sell fast, so be sure to visit www.alpkit.com/pipedream now if you're in the market for a high-quality winter sleeping bag.
