In short
Good for
- Light, packable warm layer for cool evenings at camp and lunch stops
- Mid layer under a waterproof when the wind picks up
- Synthetic alternative to a down jacket for damp UK hills
Strengths
- PrimaLoft Silver ThermoPlume synthetic jacket from a UK maker, with 190 g of fill in size M
- 390 g in size M; Alpkit says it squeezes into a 3 litre Airlok
- Alpkit says the fill keeps around 90% of its warmth when wet and dries quickly
- Windproof recycled nylon outer with PFC-free DWR and a 3-year Alpine Bond guarantee
Weaknesses
- Alpkit says the DWR copes with light rain, hail and snow showers, and needs refreshing once or twice a year
- Alpkit says not to store it compressed, especially when damp
- Alpkit says the insulation can clump if still damp, so pat it gently to redistribute the fill after drying
