MONTANE FLYLITE PACKABLE DOWN JACKET £170

This no-frills, minimalist jacket strikes a fine balance between price, warmth, weight and packability. At £170 it’s competitively priced, providing superb bang for your buck. Warmth-wise, it’s filled with 115g of RDS-approved, 90/10 duck down with an impressive 750 fill power. The HyperDRY down used is also water-resistant, thus retaining its insulating properties when wet better than regular down.

VERDICT A reliable insulator that’s lightweight, warm, packable and well-priced – ideal for all but the wintriest of hikes.
