    Nice review. Whilst I personally don't have a Decathlon puffer I do have budget down alternatives from Trespass and Mountain Warehouse, as well as a synthetic one from Fat Face of all places. These are okay in terms of warmth but share the MT100's vulnerability when it comes to the rain. Alternatively, I've also got a Wolfhound Hoodie from Helikon-Tex which I'd argue is warmer and doesn't have a problem with the rain due its excellent DWR treatment as I found out last year whilst wandering around a Fife hospital trying to find a way in late at night. However, it is almost double the price of the aforementioned down puffers, so not exactly a budget option, although still less expensive than the equivalent Patagonia Nano-Air. It's all horses for courses at the end of the day. Cheers.

    • @trailtestedgear
      @trailtestedgear วันที่ผ่านมา

      That’s really cool, I’ll take a look into the wolfhound. A good test seeing how it performs on a cold night in Fife! Haha. I’ve had a few trespass and mountain warehouse bits and I’ve always found they’ve been ok, warm enough but always rip eventually. I think that’s where they save the money on them.

    Your final comments on this jacket, regarding rain and down vs synthetic is unfair. Those comments apply to all lightweight down jackets whether they be Rab, Berghaus etc. It is not a limitation of the jacket, but just a fact of down vs synthetic.

    • @trailtestedgear
      @trailtestedgear 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for your comment! I totally understand that this limitation applies to most down jackets. However, when you compare this jacket directly to a synthetic one, it simply won't perform as well in wet conditions. In my opinion, that's important to keep in mind if you plan on going out in the rain. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

      Ah interesting. Decathlon in the UK has been getting more and more popular in recent years. There’s been a few bits here that have felt cheap but are also price wise very cheap so you get what you pay for. What has felt cheap in your experience?

    I bought this jacket last year in blue and have been so impressed with it. I bought it based on Dan Becker's review at the time. I wanted another of these in the orange colour and have watched their stock for the past 6 months until finally seeing it come back in stock. I ordered it and it took a week to come from their European warehouse and it looks awesome. If anybody needs a down jacket that is warm, durable and doesn't care if it has an expensive logo on it, this is an awesome jacket. There is a reason so many of the top gear reviewers rate it, you won't be disappointed.
