eEvans, You are not the first person to say that. Not just a jacket, I went for the trousers and a gilet. Can't wait to get them wet for the first time - 24th Dec 2005, Tignes!!

Couldn't find a jacket that fullfiled my 2 requirements, 1 to fit and 2 to not make me look like the michellin man, so I'm making my own

What happens to down when it gets wet ? Does it retain all its properties once it has been dried ?

CP, It keeps the ducks warm AND dry.
I got really fed up with wearing every piece of clothing I possess in order to keep warm in a shell in Jan/Feb and then having to divest myself of all these layers and find somewhere to put them in the restaurant for lunch. Last season I got a lovely, lined, toasty Degre 7 jacket and realised that I had the bonus of not having to lug another coat on holiday for walking around the resort at night.

mike.healy, As long as it is fluffed up down will regain warmth - lasts longer than synthetics.

ps My lined jacket has more pockets than my shell.

Well I am happy to report that the Keela kit ( jacket, gilet and trousers ) stood up to a fairly stiff test over the Christmas week. It was very cold especially up on the Grand Motte Glacier, temperature down at Tignes Le Lac was -20C one morning and there was a stiff breeze. I layered up and did not suffer any real problems with the cold except for my hands, which was my own fault for taking my gloves off to text somebody while on a chair lift.
I did however think that I had a problem with the trousers one morning. The area around where the dangly bits live got very very cold on the first few runs of the day. It took me until the mid morning hot chocolate break to discover that I had been low flying since breakfast
