As a follow up to the old which headtorch thread, where the specification was for a really bright light, that lights up everything....I want a really warm jacket, that prevents me from freezing my nads off when its -9 and im stood waiting for my bus.
Im abit of a Mountain Equipment obsessive, and I like the look of the Omega in black.
Money is an obvious one in that they cost an arm and a kidney....but Id rather be penniless and warm.
Discuss.

I've had one of these for four or five winters. Unless Preston has its own micro-climate it should be plenty warm enough

What colour do you recommend? And will it prevent my from freezing my nads off?
They're warm Al. I feel the cold but find mine plenty warm enough. I bought black, which is practicalQuote:

Got to be an Alpkit down jacket, cheaper than the Mountain Equipment jackets and has more fill!
For a jacket to wear on a day to day basis, I would go for an Alpkit Filo. If weight is an issue, A PHD Minim.
