I bought one in Lidl too. Fit is good. Bag to pack it down is a bit too big as it can pack a lot smaller. I was in Costco just before that and they have columbia down hooded jackets for 59 quid.

In the latest issue of ABR, the test on textile jackets, the tester says he would get rid of the insulating layer that comes with most of the jackets.

I was thinking about replacing my jacket, BUT, it's comfortable, waterproof and I like it, The insulating layer is useless though.

I have to layer up below 8 degrees. I would like a warm layer to reduce the layers.

But what to get? The Rab one mentioned looks good, or should I try a Lidl one?

Just not sure what to spend to get a warm mid layer?

What I was really wanting to know is, in the latest issue Brynn says most of the thermal layers can be put in a drawer and forgotten about.

But, to be replaced by what? What is better than these provided thermal layers please.

merino wool 200 weight from woolpower. with a baselayer like that you can get away with pretty much anything.

[Redmurty]

string vest as a base layer and don't laugh until you've actually tried them in real cold

String vest works well. As does Merino.

Anyhoo, I eventually bought the Superdry and am well pleased with it for £60. Looks smart as well so you don`t look like a refugee in snugpak ! lol.
