In reply to JayPee630:
I'm biased on this as I work with the Alpkit chaps. But I do think it's a fair bit cheaper that like-for-like jackets. The Rab Latok, for example, a very similar jacket, retails at £260. But yes, you are right, if you wait for sale you probably find it a similar prize. Though Alpkit also has some sale prices at times too. I think it's a very good, technical and competitive jacket. Certainly much better than many of my other jackets like the Mountain Hardware Mixaction for example. I'd suggest for anyone who's curious about gear, they should pop by Alpkit's showroom, the quality of their technical gear is now as good as most well-known brands.
