Fawdon Down Jacket
Berghaus · £135
Worth being NRY provisional
700 fill down under a water-resistant coating at £135, which is a lot of warmth for money that usually buys synthetic. Berghaus call the fill Hydrodown, their treated down meant to keep lofting when it gets damp, which is the standard objection to down in Britain. It is a commuting and standing-about jacket rather than a mountain one, and priced accordingly.
