Hi all
First of all, im no climber or into mountaineering but like to purchase good quality jackets - I hope im welcome here
I usually buy Primaloft insulated jackets but I really like the look of the Rab Microlight Alpine Down so hence this post
What is is like for usual UK day to day use? ie. town, shopping, work, out with kids etc
How good is the Hydrophobic down in it? i don't intend on walking out with it in the pouring rain, but due to the UK's unpredictable weather, it will get wet occasionally no doubt.
I did try one in a high street store and really liked it but i have read about down getting wet and soggy and only good for dry cold weather which frankly in the UK is often not the case, wet and damp in the Winter.
So my question is, shall I buy this or buy something else?
Budget around £150
thanks!
