You have to wonder if this is actually any worse than the Rab that was posted on here for £80 a couple of days back, itself an excellent deal. I don't have too much Decathlon stuff but have been impressed with what I do have.
I am also awaiting arrival of this for some very cold weather hiking in the himalayas I have coming up. It seems like a crazily good price for a down jacket of this heft. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/forclaz-900-mens-down-jacket-green-id_8344421.html

they are good but 75% down, 25% feather. the rab stuff is 90 or 95% down.
I have a neutrino jacket, lightest warmest jacket I have ever used, I recommend you try both

about the feathers:
Our feathers come from Chinese ducks reared for their meat; we remove their feathers after slaughter. We hold the death certificates for these ducks
aww poor ducks :confused:

Yeah I realised it was standard price, but compared to rivals it's a bargain

Aha, thanks for clearing up, I guess you do get what you pay for, but this is still a fantastic deal. I purchased the down jacket I linked to for an upcoming trip to the Himalayas but I actually have a primaloft jacket by Mountain Equipment for this country due to the amount of rain we have.

not really you need an outer waterproof with a warm jumper or fleece underneath
