"Excellent jacket. This my second purchase of this jacket and they have both been just what I wanted."
Amazing quality
"Amazing quality"
Great quality at a great price
"This is my second Heli R Down, first one is 8 years old and still going. Good fit and warmth for a thin jacket. Great as a mid layer under a shell or as a jacket in it's own right."
Nice jacket
"As described. Good quality, quick delivery"
A great look
"A Lovely jacket that is so light but really warm."
Looks tidy Well made
"Good fit even for a little over indulgence"
Down is warmer
"This down jacket replaced an older Kathmandu man-made jacket of similar design. It is so much warmer, and even in a brisk breeze."
J
"A great jacket that streamlines my slightly fat husband!"
Fabulous Jacket
"I purchased this jacket recently to wear to Christchurch in the Autumn. It's just fabulous. Folds up really small, into it's own pocket. It light and doesn't take up much room in the suitcase. Can't understand why I hadn't bought one previously, I will not travel without it now. Don't hesitate, just do yourself a favour and get it."
