Outdoors Magic test the Filoment down jacket

By David Hanney

Navigate rocky terrains like a master, cruise down smooth paths like a breeze. For the fearless cyclist ready for their next thrill.

Really rather nice. It's warm, packs down reasonably small, it's decently light, it looks good and, as ever with Alpkit, the price is super competitive too.
