I'm looking for a down jacket to keep me warm up Kilimanjaro

In reply to DAWN:

That's a very good idea.

In reply to DAWN:

Get a synthetic.

In reply to Roberttaylor:

really are they just as good?

In reply to DAWN:
the OH has a rab summit, mens small, very good condition (never used on expedition , just occasionally to keep warm after winter biking) . no hood (she lost it). £100 + post ? (she got a fancy patagucci job with bells and whistles and hasnt worn the rab since)

Got an old RAB Women's Ascent jacket, size 12 in black with purple lining. Could do with a wash, but no tears or damage that I can see. So fully functional with stuff sac, hood etc.

£70?

Thanks but I don't think a small will fit me I'm tall with long arms

In reply to nclarey:

Thanks but a 12 will be too small for me I'm quite tall

In reply to DAWN:

Ok - wife is about 168cm so you can work out how far off that is for you.

In reply to nclarey:

Thanks I'm 178cm but with long arms that's always my problem

In reply to DAWN:

If down gets wet, it is useless. If synthetic gets wet, it retains a lot of its warmth.

In reply to Roberttaylor:

Thanks Robet I'll have a look at some synthetic ones then
