An insulated jacket works by trapping the natural heat that your body gives off in the fibres of the insulation; this creates a micro-climate inside your jacket, keeping you warm and toasty.

You can adventure for a whole lot less with our Montane Outlet selection available online at Nevisport. There isn't space to fit over a helmet (not if you want to do up the zip or move your head), but this soft, low-profile hood works reasonably well under a helmet instead. On the other hand you get 132g of fill in a size M jacket, which is more than most on test, and this helps to boost the Filoment's comparative warmth for winter and mountain use.

At a hefty (in terms of this test) 424g (size M), the Featherlite is one of the heavier jackets we've looked at here. Weight-wise we haven't managed to find out the exact denier, but much like the rest of the jacket it sits somewhere in the middle ground and is perfectly suitable for the non-technical lightweight-ish jacket that it is. The weight for warmth ratio is excellent: 120g of 750+ down fill gives generous insulation for a pack weight of just 377g.

We've found the cut of the underarm means lifting the arm above the head gives quite a bit of hem lift, and this soon exposes the lower body to the elements.
