Spec me a down filled jacket

Thanks for the replies, you've been very helpful.

TBH I'm not a serious outdoors person but I do play in a semi-pro covers band every week and its getting v cold late at night (such as last night which was about about -3c). I need something lightweight and that moves with you when lugging speakers etc into venues. I think the Massif is probably the best value for my needs, with the 700 goose fill. The Rab range seems very good but probably a bit beyond my means.

Just had a look at this Jack Wolfskin - http://www.wolf-paw.com/425/products/Jack_Wolfskin_Mens_Lhotse_Jacket_Black.aspx

How does this compare to the NF stuff?

The Lhotse was always a good seller at blacks when I worked there, although TBH I have a jack wolfskin, and to me its not a patch on TNF. As said above Mountain Hardware is another good brand to look at - I would definitely advise against buying something online, unless you have tried it in a shop, and made sure its what you really are after.

Cotswolds is another good outdoor shop.
 
Alpkit, Rab or Mountain Equipment are all good :)

I have an old Rab Guide Glacier and it soooo warm, I only wore a t-shirt underneath it when I was in Russia and it was -30C, snug as a bug :)
